The Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), Federation of Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG), and the Teacher and Educational Workers Union of Trade Union Congress (TEWU-TUC) have called off their intended industrial action scheduled to commence from August 9 2024.
This was contained in a press statement released on August 8 2024 by the three Associations signed by their executives
According to the statement, this decision was arrived at following the interventions of Government in extending the upward adjustment in the vehicle maintenance allowance (VMA) to their members, which they believe was a step in the right direction.
The unions however called on the government to extend their agreed-upon adjustment to all categories of senior staff of all public universities across the country.
“We would like to express our gratitude to the government for this development and acknowledge their commitment to addressing the concerns of our members. We are satisfied that the VMA has been restored to our members and we believe that this decision demonstrates a willingness to work with us to restore all outstanding issues,”
“We would like to assure our members that we will continue to engage with the government and other stakeholders to address all outstanding issues that affect our working conditions. We are committed to working together to build a better future for Public Universities in Ghana,” The statement said
The statement concluded by assuring their members of their willingness to continue engaging with Government and other stakeholders in addressing all outstanding issues that affect their working conditions.
The three unions earlier declared their intentions to embark on strike over issues regarding their vehicle maintenance allowance.
