“Drivers of commercial cars, tipper trucks, articulators, and cargo trucks should wear red bands because we are fighting. So come Sunday, if our problem is not resolved, we have no option than to send the signal that from Monday, no commercial vehicle will be working.
“In any case, if you are outside Accra, it is up to you to decide on when you return before we begin the strike.”[ads5]
