The University of Ghana branch of the University Teachers
Association of Ghana (UTAG) has vowed not to call off their strike over
conditions of service until their demands are met.
The National Labour Commission (NLC), last week declared an
ongoing strike by UTAG as illegal.
The Commission said the action by the University Teachers
Association of Ghana, (UTAG), is illegal and must be called off. This followed
separate meetings held with the leadership of both associations on Thursday,
January 13, 2022.
But in a statement released Monday, UTAG described as
unfortunate claims by the National Labour Commission that their strike was
illegal.
“Members were surprised at the NLC directive for the strike to
be called off due to late notification, even though the NLC had deliberately
evaded and frustrated the processes to serve them with notification. Members
also expressed worry about the unhelpful posturing of the NLC because, UTAG’s
intention to strike had always been in the public domain from the middle of
2021, yet the NLC had not been proactive in resolving the issues particularly with
regard to the Government’s obligations to UTAG.
“Members resolved that they will not call off the strike until
their demands have been met. They charged the National Executives of UTAG and
the National Executive Committee to be proactive, resolute and resilient in
championing the fight for better Conditions of Service.”
