UTAG, TUTAG reps exit meeting with FWSC 

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, walked out of a meeting with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC).

The groups cited reasons such as bad faith, contempt, and a lackadaisical attitude on the part of their employer, FWSC, towards the crucial aspects of their conditions of service, as grounds for their decision.

They maintained that UTAG/TUTAG would not participate in meetings that do not result in benefits and cautioned that the voices of University Lecturers would soon be heard in a language better understood by the Employer/Government.

The National President for UTAG, Professor Mamudu A. Akudugu, in an interview noted the commission picked out some key components in the conditions an left some out.

He explained that as groups, they are not going to pick and choose conditions rather, they want the commission to relook at the entire condition of service as they have agreed.

“We were in a meeting with the FWSC about our condition of service and some other key component of our conditions of service that we thought would be part of the meeting. Our employer is of a different view regarding our concerns

“Some key components of our conditions of service were supposed to be included in our meeting. So, we think that as we are talking about them, then it should have been everything and not to pick and choose. So we decided to walk out,” he said.

Although Prof. Mamudu A. Akudugu, did not give out the specifics of the conditions for which they walked out, he noted that as associations, they would return to the Fair Wages and Salary Commission if it is ready to meet all of the terms and conditions.
