Developments: 2. Five transport unions in Ghana, including the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), announced a nationwide shutdown of commercial transport operations scheduled for November 4, 2026. The unions cited the government and Ghana Police Service for failing to enforce regulations prohibiting trading at bus stops and pedestrian walkways. Drivers also expressed frustration with the TRAFFITECH-GH traffic monitoring system, claiming they were being fined for violations while authorities ignored traders occupying designated transport spaces. Following negotiations on November 3, the GPRTU and the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC) suspended the planned strike. Government ministers from the Interior, Transport, and Local Government sectors met with union representatives and the Motor Traffic and Transport Department. The government provided assurances that measures would be taken to address the occupation of road corridors. As a resolution, transport operators agreed to identify specific hotspots where trading obstructs transport spaces for submission to the Ministry of Local Government. The unions stated they expect their concerns to be addressed within 30 days, noting they may resume industrial action if the issues remain unresolved. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-04: Ghana transport unions suspend planned nationwide strike Ghanaian transport unions have suspended a planned nationwide strike after government ministers pledged to remove traders occupying road corridors and bus stops. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ghana-transport-unions-suspend-planned-nationwide-strike ### 2026-11-02: Ghana transport unions announce nationwide shutdown for November 4 Five Ghanaian transport unions have announced a nationwide commercial vehicle shutdown on November 4, 2026, protesting the government's failure to prevent trading at bus stops and pedestrian walkways. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ghana-transport-unions-announce-nationwide-shutdown-for-november-4 --- Cite as: Ghana transport union strike dispute.
