UTAG begins strike Monday over poor conditions of service
The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has declared an indefinite strike effective Monday, 10 January 2022.
The announcement of the industrial action by the lecturers was contained in a statement dated 8 January 2022.
The association catalogued a number of reasons for which they are laying down their tools.
Among them include “the pittance agreed to be paid as annual research allowance”.
They want, among other things, the government to “reconsider the payment of a more realistic research allowance”, as they said it is critical to their research output, promotion and ultimately national development.
Attached is the full UTAG statement:
