The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike, beginning Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
The Association accused the government of failing to execute the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission’s authorised recommended new salary structure.
According to CLOGSAG, the new payment system should have been implemented approximately one and a half years after a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, CLOGSAG Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo directed members to carry on the strike until their issues were addressed.
“Indicating our intentions to proceed on a nationwide strike if the new salary structure for the staff of the civil service and local government service is not implemented, we hereby declare a nationwide strike with effect from Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
“All staff of the civil service and local government service are to stay away from work until further notice. Similarly, all CLOGSAG secretarial offices must be closed. Kindly take note and comply accordingly.”
