The Teachers and Educational Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (TEWU-TUC) is set to begin a nationwide strike today, Monday, November 18, over the government’s failure to address longstanding concerns about their conditions of service.
TEWU-TUC has voiced frustration over delays in finalizing, signing, and implementing revised conditions of service for workers under the Ghana Education Service (GES), Ghana Library Authority, Museums and Monuments Board, and Public Technical and Traditional Universities.
The union highlighted that negotiations for these reviews have dragged on for years, leaving members deeply dissatisfied.
Meanwhile, the National Labour Commission (NLC) has summoned TEWU-TUC and other relevant stakeholders to a meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, to address the situation.
