The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), has, effective today, Friday, June 14, 2024, laid down its tools over the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
The nationwide indefinite strike affecting all 46 public colleges of education is to ensure the government fulfills the demands being made by CETAG including the payment of one month’s salary to each member for additional duties performed in 2022 and the application of agreed rates of allowances payable to public universities to deserving CETAG members.
A statement issued Friday, June 14 cited Article 24(1) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana and Section 10(a)(b) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), which spells the economic rights of citizens.
The Association urged its members to withdraw teaching and related services indefinitely until their grievances are resolved.
“CETAG wishes to call on every member to immediately comply with this declaration by withdrawing teaching and related services indefinitely across all 46 Public colleges of education until all the orders arising from the Compulsory Arbitration Awards and related concerns are fully implemented by way of payments to our members and implementations thereof,” portions of the statement indicated.
