In a tweet, Sarkodie emphasized the difficulties experienced by mortuary employees, characterizing their line of work as one of the hardest, riskiest, and most underappreciated.

He emphasized the significance of resolving their complaints and fighting for equitable pay, appropriate tools, and a comfortable working atmosphere.

The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana has long expressed concerns about the poor working conditions, unequal pay, and lack of resources in the mortuary industry.

The association has sent letters of intent to take industrial action to the following ministries: National Security, Finance, Employment and Labor Relations, Health, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and National Labour Commission.

MOWAG further stated that the decision was made at a general meeting of its members and complies with the constitution’s Section 159 of Act 651(2003).

The letter is thought to be about bad service conditions, even if it did not address all of MOWAG’s unsolved complaints, for which it has chosen to go on an indefinite strike.

In Ghana, one of the lowest paid job categories is mortuary laborers.
