The Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) has threatened to strike.
The Association says it will strike within the next 10 days if the government fails to honour members’ Codified Conditions of Service, which have been outstanding since 2016.
TUTAG’s leadership accused the government of flagrantly disregarding a National Labour Commission ruling on the subject, and also blamed the NLC for failing to enforce the ruling.
According to TUTAG, its members are having problems with the payroll system and want the various Technical Universities to manage the teachers’ payroll.
They further want the government to pay outstanding Book and Research Allowances for the 2021/2022 academic year for the majority of its members.
The National President of TUTAG, Professor Dr Ing Collins Ameyaw addressing a news conference in Kumasi said “TUTAG has observed the government’s blatant disregard of the rulings of the National Labour Commission and also the reluctance of the NLC to enforce its own rulings. It is worthy to note that the issue of codified conditions of service for TUTAG members has been outstanding since 2016.”
