The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has declared an indefinite strike effective Thursday, January 2, 2025.
This decision was reached during an Emergency National Council meeting held on Monday, December 30, 2024.
In a statement issued on December 31, CETAG noted that the strike follows earlier notices on September 26 and December 23, 2024, which the National Labour Commission (NLC) failed to act upon.
CETAG cited the government’s persistent breach of signed agreements and roadmaps, particularly regarding the unresolved compulsory arbitration award issued by the NLC on May 2, 2023, as the primary reason for the action.
“The National Council of CETAG wishes to state unequivocally that members of the union shall not under any circumstance return to the colleges to undertake any official duties including teaching, and supervision of project work and macro-teaching, until the last pesewa is paid into our accounts. This declaration of an indefinite strike action is in accordance with section 159 of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651).”
