Technical University Senior Administrators’ Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) has threatened to initiate a nationwide strike by the end of September 2024 if their demands are not met.
In a statement released on September 8, 2024, TUSAAG voiced their frustration with the government’s failure to uphold the terms of their collective bargaining agreement, despite several assurances.
The Association accused the government of infringing on their rights by refusing to implement revised allowances for senior members of public universities, as instructed by the Ministry of Finance in May 2024.
TUSAAG also pointed out that an addendum to the collective bargaining agreement, signed in July 2024, has not yet been enforced.
The Association further claimed there is discrimination in the payment of common allowances owed to unions representing similar categories of workers at public universities.
They are demanding the immediate payment of the agreed-upon rates for vehicle maintenance, off-campus accommodation, fuel, utility, and sanitation/security allowances.
TUSAAG has warned that they will embark on a nationwide strike if these payments are not reflected in the September 2024 salary validation.
