Members of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) on Tuesday called off their intended nationwide strike which was to take effect on March 4, 2015.
Mr George Kweku Ofori, President of GUTA, in an interview in Accra that, the strike was called-off because the Ministry of Trade and Industry had agreed to address their concerns.
Members of GUTA threatened to embark on a strike over issues relating to high cost of doing business, the energy crisis, the proposed Ghana Conformity Assessment Programmed (G-CAP) and the Advance Shipment Information System (ASHI).
Mr Ofori said, the decision by the Ministry of Trade and Industry to suspend the G-CAP and the Ministry of Transport suspending ASHI, made them to rescind their decisions.
'Both G-CAP and ASHI are major concerns raised and their suspension means that we have to call-off our strike to continue to have further discussion with the government on the way forward,' he said.
He said even though both ASHI and G-CAP had been suspended, GUTA would continue to negotiate with government for the total cancellation of both.
