The Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) to hold a crank emergency congress today Monday 6th January 2020 at the Accra Technical University.
It is likely that TUTAG will declare a resumption of their suspended strike if by then the Association doesn’t get the assurance of paying their allowances.
TUTAG described the non-payment of their December public universities allowances as a refusal by the government to comply with the ruling by the National Labor Commission.
“The NLC ruling on 28th of October held that the government should pay us all the allowances of our salaries for December…One paid in January, the other one paid in February and we agreed on that but when our salaries came, it came with the old good allowances so members were not happy that they had been short-changed.”
The three-week industrial strike action by TUTAG has affected the academic calendar of technical university compelling students break for the Christmas instead of a vacation.
Students of Technical Universities will resume writing the end of the first-semester examination but it is likely that, if TUTAG declares a resumption of their suspended strike, student have to wait a bit longer.
Comment:if there should be any strike at all student must write their examination before .Because we have also pay school fees to get what is rightful for us , we are in the new year with another semester so there shoulbe consideration.thank you
This useless government thinks he didn’t convert the polytechnics to university so he don’t care what the tutag will do whether it will affect students or not. Are they not giving colleges allowance for no work done?
I don’t blane them cox we called for it.
Useless government with useless governance
We mpo we are not in a hurry to complete school. These lecturers should take all the time in the world to fight for what is due them. They can kill their self, we too we can’t kill our self.
