Tema, Jan. 20, GNA – The Tema Municipal Assembly Members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOSAG) have joined the nationwide strike as directed by its leadership until the government heeds to their request for better conditions of service.
The Ghana News Agency visit to the TMA offices on Thursday observed that a notice posted on the entrance stated: “This is to confirm National Executive Council (NEC) decision that from Thursday, January 20th, 2022, the Civil and Local Government Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) will embark on a nationwide strike to press home demand for better conditions of service.
“By this letter, all CLOGSAG members in the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies as well as the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies are informed to stay at home from Thursday, January 20, until further notice.”
The Association claimed that over a year after their proposed salary structure was sent to the Finance Ministry to deal with it, they were yet to communicate anything to them despite persistent reminders.
Mr Isaac Bampoe Addo, CLOGSAG Executive Secretary in a statement said all relevant stakeholders were served with notice of the industrial action since December 22, 2021.
“In a similar vein, by this letter, all Chief Directors, Heads of Departments, Regional Coordinating Directors, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Coordinating Directors are duly informed,” he added.
