The leadership of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) have been invited by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) for a deliberation.
This invitation is in response to the nationwide strike jointly declared by the three teacher unions, beginning today Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
According to the unions, their action stems from the government’s negligence in addressing their conditions of service.
Highlights of their grievances include the ongoing withholding of teachers’ salaries, unilateral changes to timetables without consulting the unions, and delays in the distribution of laptops to teachers.
However, the FWSC in a statement has called on the unions for negotiations to enable them to revert its decision.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 21st March 2024 at the Ministry of Education.
