Three teacher unions who proceeded on strike two weeks ago have called it off following an interim injunction from the National Labour Commission.
The two-week-old strike which was initiated nationwide on March 20, 2024, according to the unions, was due to the government’s failure to address their conditions of service.
These unions include the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT).
In a statement issued to the media Tuesday, King Ali Awudu, President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana, stressed the necessity for their employers to promptly engage in negotiations to address their concerns.
They have called on the Employment Ministry to expedite the negotiations to resolve any other challenge to resolve the matter completely.
“As law abiding citizens and having respect for the court, we hereby declare the strike that was called on 20th March 2024 off. We ask all our members and teachers of pre-tertiary education in this country to resume work with immediate effect.”
“We continue to ask the employer led by the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to commence negotiations this afternoon, today April 2 2024. So we can expedite the negotiations and come to a conclusion to forestall any other happenings in the future,” he stated.
