CLOGSAG embarks on nationwide strike effective November 7
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) will embark on a nationwide strike effective November 7 due to the government’s delay in finalizing a new salary structure.
Initially, the association announced their intention to strike in a statement dated October 22, anticipating that the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) would miss the October 31 deadline to finalize the new salary structure.
The decision stemmed from failure to implement a proposed salary structure, despite reaching a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) one and a half years ago.
In a recent statement released on Monday, November 4, CLOGSAG’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, now regards the implementation date of January 1, 2025, as unrealistic.
Additionally, he said CLOGSAG will no longer engage with FWSC’s CEO, Benjamin Arthur, citing bad faith.
“As a result of the long delay in the completion of a New Salary Structure and other Conditions of Service for the Staff of Civil Service and Local Government Service, the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has no than to ask our members to stay at home on Thursday, November 7th”.
