The University Teachers Association (UTAG) says they will join the organized labour strike in the coming days.

According to the association, the withdrawal of the sale of four SSNIT hotels is not enough.

They are asking for the dissolution of the SSNIT board and the removal of the management, under the leadership of Kofi Osafo-Maafo, for overseeing such a controversial deal.

SSNIT has withdrawn the sale of 60% shares in their “struggling hotels” after organized labour declared a nationwide strike for all public sector workers.

Rock City Hotel, on the other hand, has also withdrawn its bid to buy the four hotels that belong to SSNIT.

The hotel cited the negativity surrounding the sale and the lack of stakeholder consultation before the decision to sell as the basis of their withdrawal.
