“I’m very much aware that some teacher unions have declared a strike in pursuit of s 20% Cost of Living Allowance demand. I’m happy that yesterday the teachers were joined by other members of organised labour under the umbrella of the Trades Union Congress to sit down with the government led by the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations and Education to begin negotiations on this matter.
“I want to add my voice to the appeal by the outstanding minister for Employment and Labour Relations, the Hon. Ignatius Baffour Awuah, Member of Parliament for Sunyani West for the teachers to return to the classroom pending the outcome of these negotiations so that the education of our children some of whom are preparing to sit their final exams is not affected.” He said.
Background
Four teacher unions, TEWU, CCT-GH, NAGRAT and GNAT declared strikes following their request for a 20% COLA from the government which had not been honoured.
Academic activities at the basic level have ceased since Monday, July 4, 2022, following the declaration of the strike.
Meanwhile, some teachers are kicking against the demand for the 20% COLA, saying it is a regressive call to waste.
