We expect adherence to collective bargaining agreement – CCT
Mr Richard Sunday Yinbil, Upper East Regional Chairman of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) says the Association is expecting the next New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) government to fully adhere to all agreements it had with teacher unions.
He said, “In August, we signed a collective bargaining agreement with the government, and we expect the government to strictly adhere to it.
“Towards the elections, people were saying that there are a number of allowances that teachers were benefitting from.
“These allowances are in books, we expect the government to implement them as we agreed on. We do not want to go on strike, we love our students, and we want the government to adhere to the agreement.”
