Address Grievances or Face Renewed Strike Action Pre tertiary Teacher Unions to Govt

Three teacher unions, namely the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), and Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT-GH), have voiced their disappointment with the government for failing to uphold its end of the agreement.

Following the commencement of a nationwide strike on March 20 due to concerns regarding their working conditions, these three pre-tertiary teacher unions opted to conclude the industrial action on April 2 after engaging with the National Labour Commission (NLC).

The matter was later taken to court, which instructed them to suspend the strike.

The General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas Musah, expressed dissatisfaction with the government's lack of commitment to adhering to the court's directive and facilitating conclusive negotiations between both parties.

He highlighted that the ongoing negotiations have failed to yield meaningful outcomes due to the government's conduct in addressing the matter.

As a result, the unions are urging the government to comply with the court's directives and promptly address their grievances if they wish to prevent a resumption of the strike action.Sika Ayim/ Peace FM Newsroom
