The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has directed its members to resume work on May 23.
The Association declared an indefinite strike on May 21 over non-implementation of a collective bargaining agreement reached with government since November last year.
The decision to suspend the industrial action is contained in a press release dated May 22 and signed by the National Chairman, George Garshong.
“On behalf of our sister unions (TUAAG and FUSSAG) and on my behalf as the National Chairman of SSA-UoG, we are pleased to inform you that following our collective action and strong advocacy, the Government has responded positively to our demands,” Mr Garshong wrote.
He explained that, “The Ministry of Finance has finally released the long-awaited letter authorizing the implementation of the negotiated agreement, effective 1st November 2024. The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has also written, authorizing the universities to effect payment immediately. Based on the Government’s goodwill to act swiftly on our concerns, we announce that all our members are to resume work on Friday, 23rd May 2025.”
“We want to thank the Hon. Minister of Education and Prof. Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai for their immense efforts in making this a reality. We also thank the media and our cherished members for your goodwill and support,” Mr Garshong stated.
