The three-day protest, which started on Wednesday is slated to end on Friday with the ECG offices shut down between 8am to 11am.

The Public Utilities Workers Union (PUWU), which is spearheading the protest has called on government to review the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact which seeks to relinquish the ECG to private investors for a period of 25 years.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC), has also reportedly  thrown its weight behind PUWU indicating that dialogue between the unions and government is yielding no fruits.
