The Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) have threatened the government to strike from December 6, 2022, should their conditions of service not be addressed.

TUTAG last week threatened to embark on industrial action if the government fails to honor the Codified Conditions of Service of members, which have been outstanding since 2016

According to a statement by the association, the strike was a result of the government and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission’s “refusal” to promptly address its grievances.

The union has said that it would announce the withdrawal of services of all Senior Member Non-Teaching staff at all Technical Universities across the country, if its demands remain unresolved by December 5, 2022.

TUSAAG last went on strike on January 8, 2020, because of unpaid allowances.
