The National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured an interlocutory injunction to halt the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
CETAG began its strike on Friday, June 14, 2024, in response to the government’s delay in implementing the arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
Despite an order from the NLC on June 20 to end the strike, CETAG continued its protest.
This defiance led to a hearing where the NLC announced its decision to sue the government to enforce its arbitral award orders in CETAG’s favor.
The newly obtained injunction restrains CETAG from continuing its strike.
The NLC is requesting the court to restrain CETAG’s executives, officers, members, agents, and employees from further engaging in the strike action.
The NLC’s application seeks an order compelling CETAG to comply with the directive issued on June 21, 2024, to call off the strike.
The court is scheduled to hear the case on Thursday, July 18.
