Four labour unions of Ghana are poised to embark on a strike, which will take effect on October 13, 2022, over poor conditions of service.
These universities are; e University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Tertiary Education Workers Union (TEWU), Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), and the Ghana Association of University Administration (GAUA).
In a statement dated October 5, 2022, the unions are concerned by what they describe as a” blatant unilateral variation of service in the face of hostile economic conditions.”
Therefore, they have given the government and all stakeholders “one crucial week to reverse the directive that seeks to negatively compromise the Conditions of Service of university workers.”
The leadership of the unions, however, urged all members to maintain composure as they refuse any attempt by the government to change the conditions of their agreed-upon condition of service.
