Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), the Federation of Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG), and the Teachers and Educational Workers Union of the Trade Union Congress (TEWU-TUC) have announced plans to initiate an indefinite strike.
This decision comes in response to perceived disparities concerning the Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (VMA) and other related allowances.
The unions argue that they have been excluded from the recent increase in the VMA, despite their crucial role within the university system.
“The Commission’s decision to grant the VMA review to the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), while excluding SSA-UoG, FUSSAG, and TEWU-TUC members, is a clear violation of the principles of fairness and natural justice in the administration of common allowances,” the unions stated.
