The National Executive Committee of the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) has threatened to go on strike effective December 6, 2022, if the government does not resolve all matters put before it.
In a statement issued and jointly signed by the national president of the union, Mr. Joseph Mensah Oti-Asirifi and his interim general secretary, Mrs Elizabeth Amihere, the union said the impending strike is as a result of the government and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission’s “refusal” to address its issues and grievances timeously.
It was therefore emphatic that services of all Senior Member Non-Teaching staff at all Technical Universities across the country would be withdrawn if the issues remain unresolved by December 5, 2022.
The unresolved issues it stated are:
1. Placement of Faculty Officers (at Technical Universities) on the appropriate level on the Allowances Schedule for office holders at Public Universities;
2. Restoration of Fuel Allowance for Faculty Officers at Technical Universities;
3. Implementation of Entertainment Allowance for Faculty Accountants at Technical Universities;
4 Appropriate placement (levels) of Senior Member Non-Teaching at the Technical Universities on the PUSSGS;
5. Implementation of the Negotiated Internally-Generated-Funds and associated Conditions of Service;
6. Equitable implementation of the new fuel rates for Senior Members at Public Universities.
“The NEC would procced to announce the withdrawal of services of all Senior Member Non-Teaching staff (administration, ICT, medical, finance, etc) at all Technical Universities across the country, should these issues remain unresolved by Monday 5th December, 2022,” the union warned.
