Members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) are set to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike today [Monday, March 9], protesting delayed implementation of their agreed conditions of service.
The industrial action will affect operations in ministries, departments, and agencies, as well as local government offices nationwide.
According to CLOGSAG’s leadership, talks with government have broken down, forcing the strike. Despite a National Labour Commission (NLC) directive to suspend the action, CLOGSAG members have been instructed to defy the order.
“Since last Thursday (March 5,) that we gave the announcement for the strike, the National Assembly Council of CLOGSAG has still not heard anything from our employer and for that matter, our strike is still on,” says Edmund Aquaye, CLOGSAG’s Public Relations Officer.
The association stressed that government’s inaction has frustrated members, prompting the industrial action.
