Following an announcement of a strike by the Civil and Local Governance Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG), the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has called on the CLOGSAG to rethink its decision to embark on its strike action scheduled for Thursday, November 7, 2024.
According to CLOGSAG, its intention to strike stems from the government’s delayed implementation of a long-negotiated salary structure. In a statement released on November 4, the group noted that the government’s failure to implement the intended salary adjustments—agreed upon in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) over a year and a half ago—has left members with no choice but to take action.
Meanwhile the FWSC has called on CLOGSAG to rethink its indented strike action and seek an audience at the negotiations table. This they say emphasizes the government’s commitment to resolving the salary dispute.
“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.
