TUSAAG declares strike over unfair treatment of colleagues

The Technical University Senior Administrators’ Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) has announced a nationwide strike that will begin on Monday, January 8, 2024.

TUSAAG lamented that, despite multiple interactions, the administration of certain technical universities had not responded to the concerns raised by its members.

The Accra Technical University (ATU) and Koforidua Technical University (KTU) management’s failure to implement the roll-over conditions for qualified personnel resulted in the premature termination of affected staff members’ employment, according to a statement released by TUSAAG on January 1.

“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.”
