CETAG holds emergency meeting amid prolonged industrial strike

The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has convened an urgent meeting in response to their ongoing industrial action.

Teachers across various colleges of education initiated the strike on June 14, demanding improved work conditions and unresolved remuneration issues.

The strike was prompted by the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s Arbitral Award Orders and agreed-upon service conditions.

CETAG’s demands include the payment of one month’s salary for additional duties performed in 2022 and the application of agreed-upon allowance rates for public universities to eligible CETAG members.

With all 46 public colleges of education affected, the strike has significantly disrupted the academic calendar, leaving students eagerly awaiting the resumption of classes.

CETAG’s leadership has underscored that the strike is intended to compel the government to fulfill its commitments.

In response to the prolonged standoff, CETAG leaders are currently in an emergency meeting to strategize and determine their next course of action as reported by myjoyonline.com.
