The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana and the government have not come to an agreement about the association’s demand for non-payment of tier 2 pension arrears and other contractual obligations.
According to Isaac Donkoh, the association’s national chairman, this is the case.
The association has also stated that despite a deal for the government to pay the Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), its members will continue to protest for several other unsolved labor issues.
Isaac Donkoh, the association’s national chairman, stated in an interview with Citi News that if members approve of a deal the leadership strikes with the government, the association may decide to call off the strike.
“We met with the Ministry of Education and the Labour Commission on Wednesday and Thursday. We were supposed to sign some agreements with them on Friday but it couldn’t happen because it seemed they were not available.
“For us the leaders, we are content with the terms we settled on, but we will need to check with our members. If they are satisfied, we will suspend the strike.”
