By The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has urged the Civil and Local Governance Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to reconsider its plan to initiate a strike on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
CLOGSAG, which represents civil and local government employees, announced the strike in response to frustrations over the government’s delays in implementing a long-negotiated salary structure.
On November 4, CLOGSAG stated that the government’s failure to execute the proposed salary adjustments, which were agreed upon in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) over 18 months ago, has left its members with no alternative but to take action.
In response, the FWSC is calling on CLOGSAG to suspend the strike and engage in further negotiations, highlighting the government’s dedication to resolving the salary issue.
“We wish to emphasise that the government is prepared to engage CLOGSAG in finding lasting solutions to its demands without undermining the principles underpinning the Single Spine Pay Policy.
“We, therefore, urge CLOGSAG to rescind its decision to embark on the strike action and return to the negotiating table for a timely resolution of their concerns,” part of the statement read.
