the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has urged the Civil and Local Governance Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to reconsider its planned strike, which is set to begin on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
CLOGSAG, which represents workers in the civil and local government sectors, announced the strike due to frustrations with the government’s delayed implementation of a salary structure that was negotiated long ago.
CLOGSAG on November 4, stated that the government’s failure to execute the proposed 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.
However, the FWSC is urging CLOGSAG to halt the strike and return to negotiations, emphasizing the government’s commitment to resolving the salary dispute.
“We wish to emphasise that the government is prepared to engage CLOGSAG in finding lasting solutions to its demands without undermining the principles underpinning the Single Spine Pay Policy.
“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.
