The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana has agreed to suspend its nationwide strike.
Following an appeal from the government, CLOGSAG has accepted a two-week period to facilitate further negotiations regarding salaries and working conditions.
This decision was announced in a statement issued on March 17, 2026. According to the statement, the National Executive Committee of the association resolved to temporarily halt industrial action, allowing room for a mutually agreeable resolution to the dispute.
The strike, which impacted civil and local government services nationwide, was prompted by disagreements over the salary structure and working conditions for union members.
The government had requested a 14-day window to address the union’s concerns, as stated.
“EXECO on 17th March, 2026 reviewed the appeal by Government to call off the nationwide strike action ‘and allow Government fourteen (14) days to come to an amicable resolution of the issues with the salary structure and conditions of service of members of CLOGSAG’,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, the association announced that the industrial action would be temporarily suspended.
“EXECO, therefore, has suspended the nationwide strike.”
CLOGSAG directed all its members nationwide to return to work by Tuesday, March 24, 2026, effectively restoring public services that had been disrupted.
“All members of CLOGSAG are to report to work by Tuesday, 24th March, 2026,” the statement signed by the association’s executive secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo added.
