The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has directed the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to immediately call off its ongoing industrial action.
The Commission criticised CETAG's decision to strike at this critical juncture, labelling it an act of bad faith in light of the government's efforts to address their grievances.
On Friday, June 14, 2024, CETAG declared an indefinite strike due to the government's delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and the negotiated service conditions.
The strike affects all 46 public colleges of education in Ghana.
The Commission emphasised that the government is actively working to resolve CETAG's concerns and called the timing of the strike unhelpful.
As a result, CETAG has been instructed to end the strike immediately while discussions continue to address their demands.
“Government has demonstrated goodwill towards this because we believe that it is mutually beneficial, and it will benefit this country that at least we do something for our colleagues who are teaching in the colleges of Education. The government means well.”
“So we are calling on them to go back to the classroom to go and teach. This strike is out of bad faith," he said.
