A meeting between two tertiary teacher unions and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) Wednesday January 10, 2024 got inconclusive after the unions walked out of the meeting.
The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) say they couldn’t sustain the meeting as a result of bad faith, contempt and lackadaisical attitude on the part of the FWSC.
The engagement was to address the conditions of service of the teacher unions but ended abruptly after the boycott of one party because the government wasn’t forthcoming with their demands.
OnuaOnline’s sources which was present at the meeting say the Associations would “no longer countenance the gross disrespect and lack of commitment towards our quest for improvement in our conditions of service.”
They insisted that UTAG/TUTAG wouldn’t be part of meetings that do not yield benefits and warned that the voices of university lecturers would be heard soon in the language better understood by the employer –Government.
More soon…
