CETAG suspends strike; members to continue work on Tuesday.
The National Council of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has called off its strike in protest of the failure to implement the 2017-2020 working conditions.
The council stated in a statement that the validation of January 2022 salaries has confirmed the implementation of the conditions.
This means that teaching will resume in all 46 public colleges of education on Tuesday, January 25, 2022.
The end of the strike, notwithstanding, the council said it had noted some “disproportionate anomalies” in the payment of arrears.
“Unequivocally, the leadership of CETAG would like to express its utmost displeasure and grave concern about the manner in which the payment of the 2017-2020 CoS arrears has been implemented,” the statement noted.
“CETAG expects that the needed steps will be taken by stakeholders to remedy the situation by paying fully all unpaid arrears in February 2022 by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD),” it added.
It also said it expects the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission “to take steps to re-engage the leadership of CETAG to conclude the negotiations of the 2021 CoS before the end of February 2022.”
