The National Labour Commission (NLC) has summoned the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) and the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) to hear the dispute between the parties.
On Monday, the latter served notice to embark on a strike should the former refuse to suspend what they described as an “obnoxious” directive regarding the payment of allowances to office holders in public universities.
The Association said the directive must be promptly suspended until GTEC had constructively engaged all stakeholders.
