The Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) of TUC-(Ghana), says it will be left with no option, but to embark on an indefinite industrial action, effective Monday, November 18, following government’s failure to take immediate action to resolve all issues regarding their various conditions of service, amicably.
TEWU wishes to express its utmost concern and disappointment regarding the prolonged delay in concluding, signing, and implementing the conditions of service for the Ghana Education Service (GES), the Ghana Library Authority, the Museums and Monuments Board, as well as the Public Technical Universities and Public Universities, despite years of review negotiations.
Adding, “It is worrying that the issue regarding the various conditions of service, of our members, have been dragging for years,” a statement issued by TEWU in Accra yesterday copied The Ghanaian Times said.
It continued, that the expectation of TEWU members, was that these documents should have been implemented by now. Unfortunately, for the past four years, it has rather been back and forth with the government agencies.
It said with the new academic year underway, especially, the admission process for first-year students entering various institutions. Our members cannot continue to work under uncertain conditions of service.
TEWU added that it must be reiterated that the patience of members, was running out, and expressed the hope that there would be prompt response from the stakeholders, to prevent unnecessary disruptions in the education sector.
