Koforidua Technical University (KTU) has joined the nationwide strike initiated by the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG).
The TUSAAG-KTU Chapter confirmed that it will participate in the strike until further notice is given.
TUSAAG announced the nationwide strike, set to begin today Friday, September 27, 2024, and intends to withdraw all services during this period.
The strike decision follows unresolved concerns regarding the government’s failure to meet its obligations under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and to implement revised allowances for senior public university members.
The management of the university received a letter from TUSAAG-KTU Chapter members on Wednesday, September 26, 2024. They said, “We wish to serve management this notice that TUSAAG-KTU Chapter members are in full support of the nationwide strike. We will observe accordingly until further notice.”
Background
The Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) announced a nationwide strike on September 27th.
This decision comes after the government failed to meet its obligations under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). They say the government also didn’t implement revised allowances for senior public university members.
Consequently, TUSAAG has threatened to withdraw all services across all technical universities in the country until their demands are met.
TUSAAG reiterated that it has exhausted any inclination for further discussion and demands full implementation of all provisions in the CBA.
In a statement, TUSAAG expressed frustration over the government’s failure to honor their collective bargaining agreement despite numerous promises.
TUSAAG cited the government’s refusal to implement revised allowances for senior members of public universities. They say the government’s refusal is a clear violation of their rights.
