Senior staff of the country’s public universities have declared a strike today.
At a news conference at the main entrance of the University of Ghana, members of the Senior Staff Association of the Universities of Ghana were asked by their leadership to “go home.”
The league joins a tall list of public sector labour unions who have embarked on strike demanding
Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), calculated as 20% of basic salary.They are also unhappy that accrued interest on Tier 2 pension arrears has not been paid.
The members are also disturbed about what they describe as university salary inconsistencies...
At the news seminar today, General Secretary of the coalition, Hector Owoahene-Acheampong, said senior staff in the public universities are unfairly treated, and the time is now to have their demands met.
The Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the union of Concerned Teachers (CCT) have laid
down their tools over the non success of government to pay the 20% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
