The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has pleaded with the Civil and Local Governance Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to reconsider the decision to embark on a strike effective Thursday, November 7, 2024.
CLOGSAG’s decision to embark on a nationwide strike stems from the government’s delay in finalizing a new salary structure for its members.
According to CLOGSAG, the government’s failure to execute the proposed salary adjustments agreed upon in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) over a year and a half ago has left members with no choice but to take action.
However, the FWSC in a statement appealed to CLOGSAG to revoke the strike announcement and return to negotiations, emphasizing the government’s commitment to resolving the salary dispute.
“We wish to emphasise that the government is prepared to engage CLOGSAG in finding lasting solutions to its demands without undermining the principles underpinning the Single Spine Pay Policy.
“We, therefore, urge CLOGSAG to rescind its decision to embark on the strike action and return to the negotiating table for a timely resolution of their concerns,” excerpts of the statement read.
