The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike beginning Wednesday, July 3, 2024, over the government’s failure to implement the proposed new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.
The government, according to CLOGSAG has failed to implement the proposed new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission after one and a half years since a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was reached.
Addressing the media, the Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Mr. Isaac Bampoe Addo called on all association members to abide by the directive from the national executives until the government meets their demands.
“Indicating our intentions to proceed on a nationwide strike if the new salary structure for the Civil Service and Local Government Service staff is not implemented, we at this moment declare a nationwide strike with effect from Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
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,” he directed.
