The Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) has declared an indefinite strike effective January 6, 2020, in protest of the non-payment of allowances due to its members following the conversion of polytechnics to technical universities.
According to the association, the government has failed to comply with the ruling by the National Labour Commission (NLC) to ensure that members of the association receive allowances due from December 2019, January 2020 and February 2020.
Addressing the media in Accra, National President of TUTAG, Dr. Solomon Keelson, said “salaries of December 2019 were paid without the said allowances with no official communication to that effect.”
He noted that teaching, invigilation and marking of scripts in technical universities shall be affected by the industrial action.
