The General Agriculture Workers Union (GAWU), and the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU), have vowed to prevent some workers of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) from carrying out their threat\u00a0to break away from the mother union for Ghanaian workers.<\/p>\n
The two unions described the action as an attempt by the workers to break its front, and accused the leadership of\u00a0 \u00a0COCOBOD of victimizing its workers who are against the break-up.<\/p>\n
On April 28, 2016, the Chairman of the Supreme Consultative Council of COCOBOD, Alhaji Idriss Alhassan, announced that over 2,000 workers of COCOBOD have appended their signatures to a form, breaking away from the two unions.<\/p>\n
