The National Labour Commission (NLC) has asked the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) to suspend their separate strike actions and come to the negotiating table for talks.
In two separate letters to both unions, the NLC said the parties are hereby invited to appear before the commission on Thursday, 5 August 2021 at 11 am for University Teachers and 12: 30pm for the senior staff association for hearing of the matter in dispute.
In view of the COVID-19 protocols, the representation by each side is restricted to a maximum of two persons.
Recall that the unions are on strike because of the government’s failure to address concerns raised about its members’ conditions of service. Thousands of students were left stranded on Monday due to the industrial action.
