Despite an emergency meeting on Wednesday evening between the
leadership of UTAG and the fair wages and salaries commission, The University
Teachers Association of Ghana are starting an indefinite strike today.
In an interview with journalist, President of the University
Teachers Association, Dr Anthony Simons indicated that they will not allow
themselves to be taken for granted any longer. We are demanding payment of
arrears and other allowances and until that is done we are not going back to
the class he noted.
UTAG had gone on strike earlier this year but suspended it
after promises by the Government to resolve the Teachers’ grievances. An
emergency meeting held Wednesday night with the Fair Wages and Salaries
Commission (FWSC) failed to avert the strike.
Deputy Minister in charge of tertiary education, Samuel
Okudzeto Ablakwa has however assured the university teachers their outstanding
premiums will be settled by Friday.
