Some members of organised labour have called on the government to mitigate the impact of the tax hike on petroleum products and the introduction of new taxes in the country.
They have also urged the government to review salaries to ameliorate the hardships being faced by workers as a result of the high cost of living.

Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Odarlai Parker has advised members and supporters of the party to avoid commotions over the appointment of Municipal Chief Executives (MCEs) by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
His call comes after some people believed to be NPP thugs stormed a press conference in the Ablekuma West constituency organized by a group which calls itself Concerned Patriots of Ablekuma West and created a chaotic situation.
The thugs reportedly kicked and rolled away tables and chairs among other violent disturbances, hence causing the conference to come to an abrupt end.
The incident which occurred at the Praise Tabernacle Church situated at the Old Dansoman Police Station in the constituency was in reaction to the group s protest against the renomination of the Ablekuma West MCE, George Cyril Bray.
