CETAG strike still biting hard; enters sixth week

Due to their protracted strike, the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is holding an emergency meeting.

Teachers from the several education institutes went on strike on June 14 in protest of their pay and working conditions.

This was in reaction to the government’s protracted implementation of the agreed service conditions and arbitral award orders issued by the National Labour Commission (NLC).

Among CETAG’s requests are that each member get one month’s payment for any additional work completed in 2022, and that eligible members of CETAG be granted the agreed-upon amounts of allowances that public institutions are required to provide.

Every one of the 46 public institutes of education in the country has been impacted by this strike.

The goal of the strike, according to CETAG leadership, is to exert pressure on the government to carry out these obligations.

The strike has caused a disruption in the academic schedule, and students are eager for school to resume.

For this reason, the CETAG leadership is calling an urgent meeting to discuss strategy and decide on the best course of action.
