Universities Senior Staff Declare The Intention To Strike Again
Senior staff of the various universities in Ghana has announced that they will soon embark on a strike action again following the failure of the government to meet their demands as instructed by the National Labour Commission
A letter to that effect revealed that the government has failed to address their concerns regarding non-payment of their Tier-2 Pension arrears, Market Premium, and non-basic allowance. And also, the failure by the Fair Wages and Salary Commission to finalize negotiations on their conditions of service.
The letter written by National Chairman, Zakaria Mohammed said “I write on behalf of the National Executive Council of Senior Staff Association-Universalities of Ghana, to covey to you our intention to resume industrial strike on 18th May 2021.
This has become so compelling as a result of government’s decision to flout the NLC 31st March 2021 deadline directives to have the following concerns addressed as raised previously in our 21st January, 2021 Industrial strike.
“Nonpayment of our Tier2 Pension arrears (2010-2016), Market Premium and non-basic allowance, Failure by the fair wages and salary commission to finalize negotiations on our Conditions of Service.”
“I wish to assert that all efforts made by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Association to engage with the relevant stakeholders to address our concerns have not yielded any fruit,” the letter added.
