The College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has responded to the call by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to call off its ongoing strike.
CETAG says it will not comply with the directive and has dared FWSC to go to court over the matter.
FWSC described the strike action by CETAG as an act of bad faith since the government has taken steps to address their grievances.
CETAG has announced a strike action that affects all 46 public colleges of education in Ghana.
The Commission responded that it was unhealthy for them to declare a strike when negotiations were ongoing.
FWSC has therefore asked CETAG to call off the strike.
But in an interview on Citi FM, the President of CETAG, Prince Obeng-Himah, said: “…It is a legal action we have taken to protect our economic rights and that is enshrined in the labour act which is under the 1992 constitution. We haven’t erred in any way. The law is on our side.
“We can tell our people that the law is on our side, they should rally behind leadership. Let’s carry through with the process until such a time that the gov’t complies,” he stressed.
