The Gas Tanker Drivers Association (GTDA) has declared a sit-down strike across the country today, Monday, August 1, 2022, in protest of what they call unfair treatment by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and Bulk Oil Storage and Transport (BOST).
In a press release dated July 29, 2022, the Association stated that the decision is being made in consultation with industry stakeholders such as Ghana LPG Operators (GLIPGOA), LPG Marketers Association (LPGMC), and other stakeholders in the LPG downstream industry.
They cited several reasons for the strike, including tanker drivers' poor working conditions, abandoned LPG stations under construction since 2017, and BOST and NPA's unfair treatment of petroleum tanker drivers.
According to the Association, relevant and allied authorities such as the National Petroleum Authority, Ministries of Energy and Employment and Labour Relations, and the Ministry of National Security are aware of their complaints, but nothing has been done so far.
"We've even had the opportunity to air our grievances at the Presidency, where the respective Ministries were directed to resolve our issues, but to no avail."
"Unfortunately, all assurances to resolve our grievances have remained merely assurances, with no concrete resolution."
"Given these circumstances, Ghana LPG Operators wish to state that, with the support of the LPG Marketers Association, we are laying down our tools and embarking on a sit-down strike until our grievances are resolved," the statement said.
