NLC obtains interlocutory injunction to stop CETAG’s strike

National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured an interlocutory injunction to halt the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).

CETAG began their strike on Friday, June 14, 2024, in protest against the government’s delay in implementing the arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.

Despite an NLC order to end the strike on June 20, CETAG continued their industrial action, prompting the commission to hold a hearing where it announced plans to sue the government to enforce its arbitral award orders in CETAG’s favor.

The NLC’s injunction now prohibits CETAG from continuing the strike. Additionally, the NLC is requesting the court to restrain CETAG’s Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees, and any other associated individuals from further participating in the strike action.

“Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein shall pray this Honourable Court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the Respondent herein, whether by Itself, Its Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees or other persons from further embarking on their strike action which they commenced from 14th June 2024.”

The Commission is seeking an order to compel CETAG to comply with its directive, dated June 21, 2024, and call off the strike action.

“AND FOR an order compelling the Respondent herein, whether by Itself, the Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees or other persons to comply with the Directive of the National Labour Commission dated 2Is1 June, 2024 to call off the strike action upon grounds contained in the accompanying affidavit and for any further orders as this Honourable Court may deem fit.”

The court will be moved on Thursday, July 18, for a hearing.
