Three unions have threatened to embark on industrial action on August 9, 2024, if the Ministry of Finance fails to authorize payment of agreed allowances by August 8, 2024.
The unions involved are the Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), the Federation of Senior Staff Associations of Ghana (FUSSAG), and the Teachers and Educational Workers Union of the Trade Union Congress (TEWU-TUC).
The group has expressed concerns over the Finance Ministry’s failure to issue a letter to effect payment of the Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (VMA) and other related allowances.
The three unions in a statement dated Monday, August 5, said, “The Unions have given the government (Ministry) up to the close of work on Thursday 8th August to release the letter. Failure to do so will result in the Unions being forced to take industrial action on the 9th of August, 2024. The SSA-UoG, FUSSAG and TEWU (TUC) are committed to fighting for the rights of its members and will not rest until justice is served.”
“The Unions believe that the government is using Machiavellian tactics to deny us of an agreement reached with them.”
