The College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has announced its indefinite strike action.
The association announced the strike action on Thursday 2nd January 2025
The decision was contained in a statement released on 31st December 2024. This was reached during an emergency national council meeting held on Monday, December 30th 2024.
Prior to the strike action, CETAG made it clear that its warning of an intended strike action was issued back on 23rd September 2024. This warning, the Association says was ignored by the National Labour Commission.
In affirming and justifying their strike action, the association said “The National Council of CETAG wishes to state unequivocally that members of the union shall not under any circumstance return to the colleges to undertake any official duties including teaching, and supervision of project work and macro-teaching, until the last pesewa is paid into our accounts. This declaration of an indefinite strike action is in accordance with section 159 of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651).”
CETAG further stated that government has repeatedly breached the term that have been agreed on by both parties. This the association says leaves them with no choice than to embark on the indefinite strike action
