The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), has announced a series of industrial actions to embark on to demand payment of their Cost of Living Allowance also known as COLA.
These include hoisting of red flags at all Zonal and Regional Secretariats of the Association.
Members are also to wear red bands till the end of June 2022.
The Association says if Government fails to heed to all their requests by the end of July 2022, they will embark on an industrial action.
Vice President of the Association, Jacob Anaba, addressing the media in Accra said ”the Government’s inability to respond to the call of the Union has forced them to take such a position”.
Meanwhile, the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), has also made a similar call to Government to as a matter of urgency, expedite action on issues of Cost of Living Allowance, COLA and base pay for teachers and workers in general.
According to GNAT, ”there is an uneasy calm among workers as a result of delays over the issues, hence the need for Government to come clear by the end of this month to ensure industrial harmony.”
The Cost of Living Allowance, according to the Association, when implemented, would alleviate the plight of workers in the prevailing economic challenges that had seen prices of foodstuffs and other items soaring.
