Universities’ senior staff suspends strike after court order

The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has suspended its strike after the National Labour Commission (NLC) secured an Interlocutory injunction from the High Court.

A notice from the Association has asked members to return to work on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.

Executives of the Association says that it will continue to engage with the government over their grievances.

“We will continue to engage faithfully with the government and other relevant stakeholders in our fight for justice and fairness in the payment of our Tier2 pension contribution arrears and the award of market Premium and Non-basic allowance to our Union members,” part of the notice reads.

The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana has been on strike since January 21, 2021 over the payment of the Tier 2 pension contribution arrears and the award of market Premium and Non-basic allowance to our Union members.

One of the effects of their action was that Basic Schools of some universities including that of the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, and the University of Health and Allied Sciences had to defer their reopening date.
