Ferdinand | EducationGhana | July 15 | NLC Secures Interlocutory Injunction to Halt CETAG Strike
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured an interlocutory injunction to halt CETAG’s ongoing strike, with a court hearing scheduled for July 18, 2024.
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has obtained an interlocutory injunction to halt the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG). CETAG initiated the strike on June 14, 2024, in response to the government’s delay in implementing an arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
Strike Commencement and Continuation
Despite an NLC directive on June 20, 2024, instructing CETAG to end the strike, the association continued its industrial action. CETAG’s persistence led to a legal hearing where the NLC announced plans to sue the government to enforce the arbitral award in CETAG’s favour.
Interlocutory Injunction
The NLC secured an injunction that legally restrains CETAG from continuing the strike. The injunction aims to prohibit CETAG’s executives, officers, members, agents, servants, employees, and any other individuals from participating in the strike action.
NLC’s Court Petition
The NLC is requesting the court to:
- Issue an order of interlocutory injunction restraining CETAG from further embarking on their strike action.
- Compel CETAG to comply with the NLC’s June 21, 2024, directive to call off the strike.
Court Proceedings
The Court will convene on Thursday, July 18, 2024, for a scheduled hearing to address the NLC’s petition and the ongoing strike by CETAG.
NLC’s Legal Submission
“Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein shall pray this Honourable Court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the Respondent herein, whether by itself, its executives, officers, members, agents, servants, employees or other persons from further embarking on their strike action which they commenced from 14th June 2024.”
“AND FOR an order compelling the Respondent herein, whether by itself, the executives, officers, members, agents, servants, employees or other persons to comply with the Directive of the National Labour Commission dated 21st June 2024 to call off the strike action upon grounds contained in the accompanying affidavit and for any further orders as this Honourable Court may deem fit.”
Conclusion
The NLC’s legal intervention underscores the Commission’s commitment to enforcing compliance with its directives and resolving labour disputes within the framework of the law. The upcoming court hearing on July 18, 2024, will be crucial in determining the resolution of the ongoing strike and the enforcement of the arbitral award in favour of CETAG.
