The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has announced a total nationwide strike on Monday, September 16, 2024.
This is to express their demands for improved working conditions, after several protests and negotiations did not yield any result from government.
In a statement signed by National Chairman George Ansong on September 13, the Association expressed frustration over the government’s inability to fulfil previous agreements, highlighting several reasons.
According to them, although an earlier agreement was made, the government has not implemented new rates for vehicle maintenance and related allowances.
The statement also noted that the government has not released Tier Two deductions to Fund Managers since January 2024 and has neglected to recalculate interest on Tier Two pension funds from 2010 to 2016.
The SSA-UoG has directed all member campuses to adhere strictly to the strike directive, emphasising that the government failure to reach the agreement has caused the strike action.
