The government’s failure to execute the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions has prompted the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to launch an indefinite strike that will take effect on Friday, June 14, 2024.
The goal of the strike, which affects all 46 public colleges of education in Ghana, is to pressure the government to accede to CETAG’s demands, which include paying each member one month’s salary for extra work completed in 2022 and applying agreed-upon rates of allowances payable to public universities to worthy CETAG members.
In a statement released on Friday, June 14, 2024, CETAG revealed that the strike is intended to protect its members’ economic rights as stipulated under Section 10(a) and (b) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) and Article 24(1) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
In order to get their complaints addressed, the Association asked its members to stop providing teaching and related services indefinitely.
“CETAG wishes to call on every member to immediately comply with this declaration by withdrawing teaching and related services indefinitely across all 46 Public colleges of education until all the orders arising from the Compulsory Arbitration Awards and related concerns are fully implemented by way of payments to our members and implementations thereof. Thank you.”
