The Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) has suspended its strike following a meeting with Education Minister Dr Yaw Adutwum.
In a statement issued by TUTAG on Saturday, announcing the latest development, the group said: “After listening to the Education Minister, we observed that there are still individuals in political positions that citizens can trust”.
TUTAG, however, noted that they are only suspending the strike to give the education minister the benefit of the doubt, with the belief that he would ensure their demands are met in good time.
TUTAG embarked on an indefinite strike on Monday, 14 June 2021, despite a directive from the National Labour Commission against it.
The technical university teachers explained that the decision to strike was a result of unfavourable conditions of service as well as the non-payment of research allowance arrears and tier-two pension contributions for its members.
