The National Labour Commission (NLC) has adjusted its meeting schedule with the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to Wednesday, August 16, 2023.
This decision follows a request from CETAG to postpone the initially planned meeting, which was slated for today, August 9, 2023.
CETAG cited the unavailability of its leaders as the reason for the request.
CETAG’s ongoing strike, which commenced on August 1, has been prompted by the government’s failure to fulfill the agreed-upon terms of their service conditions.
In response to CETAG’s postponement request, the NLC reached out to the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, the Ministry of Education, and other pertinent stakeholders to inform them of the date change.
Under the authority vested in it by section 139 of the Labour Act, the Commission has directed CETAG to immediately suspend their strike action.
CETAG’s strike had been initiated to demand the disbursement of outstanding allowances owed to its members.
