Unfavorable Negotiations: CETAG threatens to revert Strike action by January

The Colleges of Education
Teachers Association of Ghana
(CETAG) has threatened to
revert to their strikes by January
following what it describe as bad
faith on the side of government
after returning to the negotiation
table.
CETAG called off its 24 academic days strike action following
the compulsory arbitration by the National Labour
Commission(NLC) ordering striking teachers at the various
Colleges of Education to return to the negotiation table.
The striking teachers of the Colleges of Education after a
National Executive Committee meeting resolved to return to
their posts, while the process for an amicable settlement of
their issues continues.

But reports say government has allegedly ordered the
Controller and Accountant General Department not to pay
tutors of Colleges of Education Salaries which the National
Labour Commission directed the National Council for Tertiary
Education( NCTE) to pay.
Aggrieved Tutors of the Colleges of Education have reacted to
the development cautioning government on the intransigent
position saying “We are monitoring the situation closely. Next
week students will go home for the Christmas break but when
Colleges resume in January 2019, tutors shall revert to the
status quo.”
The circular by CETAG also added: “This time no NLC can
direct tutors to go back again until government pay the
November Salaries and all what we are asking for.
