The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has called on the Divisional Executive Council (DEC) of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) Division of the Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) to reconsider its planned strike, set for Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
In a statement dated Monday, September 17, 2024, the FWSC expressed regret over the NCCE Division’s decision to strike, especially as negotiations are still ongoing.
The Commission emphasized its commitment to resolving the matter and clarified that it has been engaging the union in good faith since the negotiation process began on July 23, 2024.
Contrary to claims of “delay tactics,” the FWSC outlined a timeline of discussions, including an agreement on certain allowances and ongoing engagements with the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to finalize the remaining terms.
The FWSC urged the union to reconsider its decision and return to the negotiation table to protect the welfare of NCCE staff.
The Commission reassured the public of its dedication to resolving the issue through continued dialogue with the union and other stakeholders.
