The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has announced a total nationwide strike on Monday, September 16, 2024, over the government’s failure to address their demands for improved working conditions, despite numerous protests and negotiations.
In a statement signed by National Chairman George Ansong on September 13, the Association expressed frustration over the government’s inability to fulfil previous agreements, highlighting several reasons.
According to them, the government has failed to implement new rates for Vehicle Maintenance and related allowances, despite a prior agreement.
The statement also noted that the government has not released Tier Two deductions to Fund Managers since January 2024 and has neglected to recalculate interest on Tier Two pension funds from 2010 to 2016.
The SSA-UoG has directed all member campuses to adhere strictly to the strike directive, emphasising that the government’s inaction has left them no choice but to take drastic measures.
