CLOSAG strike over delays in completion of salary structure on Nov. 4
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOSAG) to begin a nationwide strike on November 4 over the delay in the completion of a salary structure
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) have served notice to begin a nationwide strike effective Monday, November 4 as a result of the long delay in the completion of a salary structure for the staff of the Civil Service and the Local Government Service.
According to CLOGSAG, the proposed new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations is yet to be implemented after one and a half years since a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was reached.
It would be recalled that CLOGSAG, by an earlier letter dated 21st June 2024 indicated that its members would proceed on strike on July 2024.
As such, CLOGSAG said it has waited long enough and has no other option than to proceed on strike if the government fails to implement the new structure by the end of the month.
“From the foregoing, it is evident that the 31st October 2024 deadline for finalization of a salary structure for the Civil Service and the Local Government Service would not be met.
“In the light of the above CLOGSAG would have no option than to declare a nationwide strike from Monday 4th November, 2024,” a statement they issued on Tuesday, October 22 said.
