Members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) have today, Monday, March 9, 2026, began an indefinite nationwide strike.
The Association says the strike comes as a result of the government’s failure to implement their agreed conditions of service with the erstwhile administration in 2019.
Many departments, ministries and agencies will be affected by this industrial action, including local government offices throughout the country, where members of the Association constitute a substantial portion of the administrative workforce.
According to leadership of CLOGSAG, the government’s repeated failure to heed to the agreement is the reason for the industrial action.
Although the National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed the Association to suspend the planned strike and resume negotiations, it says it will not comply until government gives them what they require.
It has instructed its members nationwide to disregard the NLC’s directive and lay down their tools, insisting that the government has not adequately responded to their concerns.
Public Relations Officer of the Association, Edmund Aquaye, prior to the commencement of the strike today, had indicated that leadership had not received any formal communication from the government since the strike notice was issued last week.
“Since last Thursday, when we gave the announcement for the strike, the National Executive Council of CLOGSAG has still not heard anything from our employer, and for that matter, our strike is still on. We are entreating all CLOGSAG members, wherever they are, not to go to work on March 9,” he stated.
National Labour Commission declares CLOGSAG strike illegal, summons parties to a meeting on March 11
