CLOGSAG served notice that it will embark on a nationwide strike from January 20.

According to the Association, this is due to the poor conditions of service they have been working with.

In a statement to all its members, CLOGSAG said their conditions have been overlooked all these years.

According to CLOGSAG, its unique conditions of service is borne out of the fact that Article 94(3)(b) of the 1992 Constitution bars civil servants from participating in active political activities.
