UTAG Strike: GIJ lecturers cancel classes, join UTAG strike

The Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) A letter sighted by GhanaWeb indicates that the Ghana Institute of Journalism has suspended lectures until further notice. This is in light of the strike by members of the University Teachers Association of Ghana. The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has directed members to withdraw all teaching and related services. Members of the association are to also lay down their tools and stay off teaching, examinations, and invigilation, marking examination scripts, and processing results until further notice. The decision to embark on an industrial strike, according to the NEC, is borne out of the government’s failure to heed calls by the association to improve their working conditions.

Haruna Iddrisu predicts more strikes

• He said, the 4% increase in wages is a recipe for industrial conflicts • UTAG is currently on strike Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority Leader has envisaged more strikes in the public sector following the UTAG strike. He attributed this to the 4% increase in the public sector salaries has contributed greatly to the instability on the Labour front. This increase, he noted, is a “recipe for the industrial conflicts”. Speaking on the floor of Parliament, the Tamale South MP explained, “The public sector workers of Ghana can have no smiles into 2022. When inflation is at 8% or 9%, the appropriate thing to do in terms of minimum wage negotiation is to place the wage increase not above inflation.
