Go and sleep if you don’t understand neutrality allowance – CLOGSAG
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG ) is not perturbed by the various criticism regarding their demand for the payment of neutrality allowance as supported by the National Labour Commission.
Mr Isaac Bampoe Addo, Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG revealed that all negotiations and documentation on the payment of the allowance have been finalized.
He further revealed that the National Labour Commission has ordered the Ministry of Finance to pay the allowance of which a payment plan will soon be rolled out.
Mr Bampoe was expressing his opinion on concerns raised so far by the public, stakeholders and some think tanks who are not in support of the allowance and thus called for its complete withdrawal.
But addressing the media in Accra on Tuesday, the Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, had a word for those who are against the allowance.
“We have gone for negotiation with the government. The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission was present so no one can say we have outwitted and played a fast one on them. This Neutrality Allowance is just a minute part of our broader conditions of service. There are more goodies that we have already finished about 80 per cent. We don’t do double work, and we have gone to justify at the negotiation table where we have justified every allowance we receive. So if you don’t understand it, go and sleep.”
