If the government does not put their welfare first, two significant employee associations at the 46 institutions of education across the nation have vowed to stop working.
The organizations are the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) and the Colleges of Education Non-Teaching Staff Association of Ghana (CENTSAG).
They state that they are disappointed with “the manner Government has handled matters affecting the welfare of our members in the colleges of education throughout the years.”
The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) unilaterally chose April 2023 as the start date for the placement of First Degree Holders of CENTSAG on position 17H on the SSSS. Other problems include the Ministry of Education’s excessive delay in replying to our request for payment of compensation.
The government was given five working days in the joint communiqué of November 6 to resolve the issues or face a strike.
According to CETAG and CENTSAG, if their demands are not granted by Friday, November 11, 2022, “we shall revive our indefinite strike activities that we suspended on January 24 and April 14, 2022, respectively.”
