Members of the Tertiary Education Workers Union (TEWU) will, from today, lay down their tools to demand better conditions of service.
The strike is in response to the government’s failure to address various concerns, including welfare needs, Tier-two pension funds, vehicle maintenance allowance, and overtime allowance.
The union has withdrawn various services, including cleaning the environment, setting up classrooms, providing security, and hospital services.
The National Chairman of TEWU, Sulemana Abdul-Rahman, stated that the strike would continue until their concerns are addressed.
“On the lackadaisical nature of the employer which is the government of Ghana to address the challenges and problems of TWEU members in the traditional public universities, the TEWU of Ghana hereby declares an indefinite strike and the strike takes effect on 1st February which is Thursday until further notice,” he said.
