By Three pre-tertiary teacher unions have suspended their strike, which began nationwide on March 20, 2024, due to the government’s failure to address their conditions of service.
The decision to halt the strike comes after the National Labour Commission (NLC) obtained an interim injunction to cease the industrial action, paving the way for negotiations to commence.
The unions involved in the suspension are the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT).
In a statement issued to the media in Accra on Tuesday, King Ali Awudu, President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana, emphasized the urgency for their employers to promptly engage in negotiations to resolve their grievances.
“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.
