The leadership of the striking labour unions in public universities will be meeting the National Labour Commission on Wednesday, November 30, 2022.
The meeting between the displeased group and the NLC aims at addressing the concerns of the workers who laid down their tools on October 17, 2022.
They expressed concerns about their Fuel, Vehicle Maintenance, and Off-Campus Allowances which the employer several times had failed to act upon.
According to the National Secretary of the University Teachers Association of Ghana, Dr Asare Asante Annor, a meeting was scheduled two weeks ago but could not come off because “both the employer and TUTAG requested for some for of extra time.”
He added: “The reasons why we still want to engage is the variations of the conditions of service, specifically the vehicle maintenance, has not come. So if government is able to prepare distribution, then we will be happy, and I’m sure our members too will be happy”.
The various labour unions striking includes University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH), the Senior Staff Association of the University of Ghana (SSA-UoG) and the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA).
