President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Carbonu, has expressed his displeasure at what he describes as a deliberate attempt by the government to ignore their concerns until they lay down their tools.
According to him, teachers are yet to receive their allowances among other benefits as stipulated in the Collective Agreement signed on May 24, 2024.
Mr Carbonu said despite efforts to get authorities to resolve their issues, nothing appears to be done.
Speaking in an interview on Joy FM's Top Story on August 28, he said the government owed them certain allowance as far back as three years ago and has still not indicated when it would fulfill its part of the agreement.
He said the union therefore has no other option than to use the language the government understands to get them to fulfill their side of the bargain.
“We are having serious challenges with the current situation that is bedeviling us. As you and I see the last time car maintenance allowance was paid to the Ghana Education Service was three years ago.
“So as far as the Ghana Education Service was concerned car maintenance allowance are not being paid.
“So do we always have to state an industrial action for people to do what they are supposed to do my law,” he quizzed.
NAGRAT and other teacher unions, in a press release signed on Tuesday, threatened to embark on industrial action if the Ghana Education Service failed to act swiftly to resolve the precarious and difficult situation currently confronting the teachers by the close of Monday, September 16, 2024.
