The Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana says its members will continue with their strike despite government’s agreement for the payment of Cost of Living Allowance, COLA.
It cited the non-payment of tier 2 pension arrears and contractual agreements among the reasons for continuing their industrial action.
This comes on the back of the suspension of the strike by labour unions following agreement by government to pay 15 percent COLA.
The National Chairman of the Association, Isaac Donor, maintains that they will not resume work if their demands are not met.
He called for fruitful deliberations with government in finding a lasting solution to their grievances.
Meanwhile, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission says the Senior Staff Association’s decision to continue the strike lacks reasoning.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Ing. Bernard Arthur, in response said, government is still engaging the union on other matters and cannot fathom why the association will not call off its strike.
