The Divisional Executives Council of the Public Services Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Ghana, representing the National Identification Authority (NIA), has officially declared an industrial strike starting today, October 7.
This decision comes in response to ongoing frustrations over the employer's failure to implement a newly approved scheme of service.
In a notice released on Sunday, October 6, the aggrieved workers outlined that their decision to strike stems from the NIA’s inability to uphold its commitment to implementing the agreed-upon scheme of service.
They expressed deep dissatisfaction with the situation, asserting that the delay undermines their rights and expectations as employees.
The workers have made it clear that they will not halt their industrial action until the promised scheme of service is put into effect.
They believe that the failure to act on this matter is not only a breach of trust but also a significant threat to the welfare of all members of the union.
“After exhaustive patience and repeated demands, we regret to inform you that your unacceptable failure to operationalise the newly approved Scheme of Service (SoS) has compelled us to take this decisive action beginning Monday, October 7, 2024. And by extension, all our members will not avail ourselves to work beginning [Monday] until the scheme of service is fully operationalised.”
“The SoS, which was painstakingly approved by PSC within two weeks in record history, in the month of March remains a vital tool for our collective survival and progress. Management’s obstinate refusal to implement this critical document is a blatant betrayal of trust and a direct attack on our well-being," an excerpt of their statement read.
