Share the post "CETAG Stands Firm in Strike Action Despite Calls for Resolution"
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) remains resolute in its ongoing strike as it demands improved working conditions from the government, as highlighted by President Prince Obeng Himah in a recent interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
Himah emphasized that the strike was a lawful measure to protect the economic rights of its members, with legal backing from the 1992 constitution and the labor act.
The strike, which commenced on June 14, 2024, has significantly disrupted academic activities across colleges of education nationwide.
CETAG’s demands center on rightful compensation for additional duties performed in 2022 and equal allowances as agreed for their university counterparts.
In defiance of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission’s (FWSC) call for an immediate end to the strike, Himah urged CETAG members to stand united and uphold the ongoing protest until the government fulfills its obligations.
The FWSC, on the contrary, criticized CETAG’s actions as counterproductive, citing ongoing governmental efforts to address their concerns.
The standoff continues as CETAG maintains its stance amidst growing tensions and pressure to find a resolution that satisfies both parties involved.
