The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike effective Monday, March 9, 2026.
In a notice dated March 5, 2026, and signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, the union said the strike comes after unresolved issues with the authorities.
The notice, addressed to the Heads of Civil and Local Government Services, regional secretaries, and members, explained that the decision follows earlier warnings of planned industrial action.
The union’s National Executive Council (NEC) had informed members on February 19, 2026, that a strike would happen if the outstanding issues were not resolved.
“As you know, the NEC of CLOGSAG, on 19th February 2026, gave notice that its members would take industrial action if issues remain unresolved,” the statement said.
Since the matters have still not been addressed, CLOGSAG has instructed all civil and local government staff to stay home until further notice.
The strike comes after long delays in implementing a unique salary structure and other working conditions for civil and local government staff.
At a February 19, 2026, NEC meeting, CLOGSAG said government officials have repeatedly failed to respond to reminders from the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC).
The association also noted that promises to implement the new salary structure, meant to take effect on January 1, 2025, have not been fulfilled.
CLOGSAG traced the negotiations back to 2019, saying that two separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) were signed with the government, but have still not been put into action.
