The National Labour Commission is expected to meet government representatives and striking pre-tertiary teachers today Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at 10 am.
According to the invitation sighted by Business Daily , the commission has also advised the striking teachers to suspend the strike.
The invitation was after the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations sought the commission’s intervention in the strike, which is in protest of the appointment of Dr. Eric Nkansah as the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service.
Deputy Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Bright Wereko Brobby expressed optimism following the involvement of the NLC.
The three unions on strike are the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (CCT).
The unions have been engaging with the government since the strike began, but the meetings have been inconclusive.
