The National Executive Councils (NEC) of the Senior Staff Association, Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) and the Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG) hereby give notice of the suspension of their strike action, effective Wednesday, 16. October, 2024 after an Emergency Meeting held on Monday, 14th October, 2024.
The NEC have taken this decision after the Government issued a letter indicating that the new rate of the Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (VMA) and Off Campus Allowance be paid to eligible members of the Association.
Again, it has also become necessary so that the Association can engage and conclude negotiations with Government on the Conditions of Service (CoS) which had already began.
All other issues as stated in the notice for strike is being looked at with Government. It is our hope that the Government will show utmost good faith to resolve the issues within the stipulated time of two weeks as stated in the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed on October 2, 2024 which included the migration of University of Media, Arts and Communication (UNIMAC) migration onto the Universities Pay Structure.
We entreat all our members to remain calm and resilient as we engage with Government for all their legitimate claims and issues.
