The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike starting Wednesday, July 3, 2024, in response to the government’s failure to implement a new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.
Despite an agreement reached one and a half years ago through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the government has not enacted the proposed changes.
At a press conference, CLOGSAG Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo called on all members to adhere to the strike directive until their demands are met.
“Indicating our intentions to proceed on a nationwide strike if the new salary structure for the staff of the civil service and local government service is not implemented, we hereby declare a nationwide strike with effect from Wednesday, July 3, 2024. All staff of the civil service and local government service are to stay away from work until further notice. Similarly, all CLOGSAG secretarial offices must be closed. Kindly take note and comply accordingly.”
The strike will continue until the government implements the agreed salary structure, affecting all civil service and local government offices across the country.
