The current strike by the College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) will persist despite the directive issued by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to halt the industrial action.
In response to CETAG's decision to go on strike, the Commission has criticized their actions as a display of bad faith, especially considering the government's ongoing efforts to address their concerns.
However, the Commission has acknowledged that the government is actively working towards resolving the issues raised by CETAG, making the timing of the strike untimely and unhelpful.
Consequently, CETAG has been instructed to immediately cease the strike while discussions continue to find a resolution to their demands.
"...We are well within our legal rights to take this action as it is protected by the labor act under the 1992 constitution. There is no wrong doing on our part. The law is on our side," emphasized a CETAG spokesperson.
"We urge our members to recognize that the law supports our cause and to stand behind our leadership. Let us persevere until the government complies," they stressed.
On Friday, June 14, the Colleges of Education Teacher's Association of Ghana (CETAG) declared an indefinite strike in response to the government's delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
CETAG's demands include the payment of an additional month's salary to each member for duties performed in 2022, as well as the application of agreed-upon allowances payable to public universities.
CETAG stands still to their decision that if their allowances are not paid off they are not calling off
Expressing themselves boldly that the law is on their side quoting from the institution , stating clearly there is no wrong doing on our part also encouraged them to stand still to the decision they've taking and be united
