The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) have called off their two-week-old strike.
The three teacher unions initiated nationwide on March 20, 2024, citing the government’s failure to address their conditions of service.
However, the unions have called off the strike action.
This was after the National Labour Commission (NLC) obtaining an interim injunction to halt the industrial action.
This will therefore pave way for negotiations to begin
In a statement to the media in Accra on Tuesday, King Ali Awudu, President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana said “As law abiding citizens and having respect for the court, we hereby declare the strike that was called on 20th March 2024 off. We ask all our members and teachers of pre tertiary education in this country to resume work with immediate effect.”
“We continue to ask the employer led by the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to commence negotiations this afternoon, today April 2 2024. So we can expedite the negotiations and come to a conclusion to forestall any other happenings in the future,” he stated.
