The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike.
It has, therefore, directed all its members across the Civil Service and Local Government Service to stay at home with effect from Monday, March 9, 2026, until further notice.
The directive was issued and signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo and dated March 5, 2026, and addressed to the Head of Civil Service, the Head of Local Government Service, all regional secretaries, and all CLOGSAG members nationwide.
“Stay at home until further notice,” the circular stated.
According to CLOGSAG, the decision to embark on the strike is due to the failure of the government to implement a unique salary structure and improved conditions of service for civil and local government workers.
The Association noted that negotiations on the matter date as far back as 2019 and resulted in the signing of two separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with government representatives.
The government initially agreed to implement the structure from January 1, 2023, but later requested more time, revising the date to January 1, 2025. That second deadline also passed without action.
The association notified the National Labour Commission of its planned industrial action after the NEC meeting on February 19.
Despite Labour Minister Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo’s intervention, urging restraint, the association confirmed the strike would proceed as planned, which threatens to disrupt public administration.
