The four worker unions in Ghana’s public universities that had hinted at a strike have called it off.
University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Tertiary Education Workers Union (TEWU), Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), and Ghana Association of University Administration (GAUA) unions had threatened to strike over their working conditions.
The strike was scheduled to begin today, Thursday, October 13, 2022.
However, following a meeting with the NLC, the four worker unions have postponed their planned strike to Wednesday, October 19th, 2022, to allow for “meetings with the Employer.”
“After the deliberations, the Commission directed that the Employer should hold meetings with the four (4) Labour Unions on Friday, 14th October 2022, and Monday, 17th October 2022 to “discuss terms of payment and other related matters”.
“As a result of this development, we write to communicate that the intended strike action of all Labour Unions in the public universities in Ghana, which was to commence today, 13th October 2022 has been postponed for the meetings with the Employer to take place,” the unions said in a statement.
