CLOGSAG Declares Nationwide Strike Over Salary Structure Delay
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike starting from Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
The strike is in response to the government’s failure to implement a proposed new salary structure for civil service and local government staff, which was approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission over a year and a half ago following a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Speaking to the media, CLOGSAG’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, expressed disappointment over the delay in implementing the agreed-upon salary adjustments. He instructed all members of CLOGSAG to adhere to the strike directive until their demands are met.
Addo stated, “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 nationwide strike aims to pressure the government into fulfilling its commitment to adjust salaries as agreed upon, highlighting the association’s determination to pursue their demands through collective action.
