The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike if the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) fails to comply with a directive issued by the National Labour Commission (NLC).
According to the Association, the NLC on Monday, June 9, instructed GTEC to reinstate members whose allowances were withdrawn or reduced last month, facilitate dialogue on disparities within the Single Spine Salary Structure, and reverse a directive on office-holding.
However, in a statement issued, the Association said no concrete steps have been taken to implement these directives, and is giving the government until the end of the month to act or face another strike.
Meanwhile, the Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to GTEC, demanding an immediate reversal of its directive mandating traditional public universities to swear in representatives of the Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU-TUC) onto their Governing Councils.
