After going on strike for two weeks across the country on March 20, 2024, three pre-tertiary teacher unions have decided to end it. They cited the government’s refusal to address their terms of service.
The National Labour Commission (NLC) decided to call off the strike in order to facilitate the start of negotiations by seeking an interim injunction to stop the industrial action.
The Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) are some of these unions.
The President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana, King Ali Awudu, emphasized in a statement to the media on Tuesday that their employers must immediately begin negotiations to resolve their issues.
“As law abiding citizens and having respect for the court, we hereby declare the strike that was called on 20th March 2024 off. We ask all our members and teachers of pre tertiary education in this country to resume work with immediate effect.”
“We continue to ask the employer led by the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to commence negotiations this afternoon, today April 2 2024. So we can expedite the negotiations and come to a conclusion to forestall any other happenings in the future,” he stated.
