UG-UTAG to strike Jan. 10
The University of Ghana chapter of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UG-UTAG) has announced its intent to strike on 10 January 2022.
Secretary to UG-UTAG, Prof Ransford Gyampo confirmed the expected industrial action.
According to him, all stakeholders have been served with the notice for their intended strike except the National Labour Commission (NLC).
The strike is to protest the National Executive Committee’s (NEC) decision to accept the government’s Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) proposing, among others, the payment of $1,600 research allowance to members of UTAG.
UG-UTAG said its NEC accepted the MoA despite disagreements from some chapters of UTAG.
UG-UTAG wants the NEC to withdraw its communiqué suggesting that an agreement was reached by UTAG members to accept the research allowance.
