The Technical University Senior Administrators’ Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) has announced a nationwide strike starting from Monday, January 8, 2024.
The strike aims to press for complete adherence to their retirement roll-over date.
TUSAAG expressed disappointment in the failure of some Technical Universities’ management to address the concerns of their members despite numerous engagements.
In a statement released on January 1, TUSAAG specifically highlighted the non-implementation of roll-over conditions for qualified personnel by the management of Accra Technical University (ATU) and Koforidua Technical University (KTU), resulting in the premature termination of affected staff members’ employment.
The statement noted, “Despite the clarity provided in all our earlier communication, the Management of Cape Coast Technical University (CCTU), Sunyani Technical University (STU), Accra Technical University (ATU) and Koforidua Technical University (KTU) have failed to comply fully with the roll-over of the retirement date to the end of the academic year.”
“On the basis of these lethal violations, and having satisfied the conditions espoused in Section 159 (b) of the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651), the NEC of TUSAAG hereby declares a nationwide strike effective Monday 8th January 2024, in demand for full compliance with the conditions of the roll-over of the retirement date, as outlined in the referred portions of the Conditions of Service.”
