The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana has stated that it is relying on the cooperation of the government to address specific proposals presented before considering calling off the strike of its members.
The strike, which has been ongoing for over a week, is a joint action with the Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWUG), and it revolves around the government’s failure to address concerns related to their pensions.
Following a meeting between the parties on February 1, the National Chairman of the association, Isaac Donkoh, mentioned that the strike would continue until the government addresses their demands.
“The Association or the unions have made some proposals to the government. The government has taken it in good faith, and they will get back to us in a few days… Until then, the strike is still on. So if they are able to work it out fast, it is better for all of us,” he said.
