CLOGSAG takes part in Labour Unions’ strike against SSNIT Hotels sale

The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has aligned with organized labor to commence a strike beginning on July 15th.

This follows the Trades Union Congress (TUC) declaring an indefinite strike after the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) approved SSNIT’s plan to sell part of its stake in certain facilities.

Dr. Yaw Baah, Secretary General of the TUC, expressed confusion over the NPRA’s decision to permit SSNIT to move forward with the deal without further discussions, despite previously ordering SSNIT to halt the process.

Therefore, the TUC has instructed its members to cease work starting Monday, July 15.

Addressing the media on July 12, Dr Baah said “From Monday 15 of July 2024, all workers in Ghana must not go to work until SSNIT publicly announces the termination of the process for the sale of its shares in the hotels.”

In the meantime, Rock City Hotel has pulled out of its bid to acquire the hotels.

In a statement on Friday, the hotel’s management indicated that “Flowing from all the commentary monitored and the undue negativity that has attended this commentary, we feel you have not done enough to engage all your stakeholders, leading to perceptions that we don’t want to be associated with our brand.”

“We believe that such negativity is not only injurious to our brand but also jeopardises the success of the investment we intend to make in these hotels.”

On the back of this, Rock City has informed SSNIT “of our decision to withdraw our bid and discontinue our pursuit of this investment opportunity.”
