The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) is bent on embarking on its planned nationwide strike over what it deems as the government’s failure to negotiate their conditions of service.
The General Secretary of UTAG, Dr Eliasu Mumuni, says discussions on base pay, based on market premiums, are the single most important issue that will make them rescind their decision.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, Dr. Mumuni said UTAG members would meet to announce a date for their strike.
“We need that collective permission for membership to say we are behind you, so go ahead. And within this period, we are working on that and prompting the NLC that this is how far we think we can come with the government when it has to do with our conditions of service.”
