He noted that the government is reluctant to make sacrifices hence, labor will also not sacrifice.

Prof, Gyampo speaking on TV3’s Key Points on Saturday, November 26, said “Labour will not sacrifice for as long as the government is not willing to also sacrifice. Brace yourselves for more industrial actions.”
