The Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) says it is resuming its suspended strike over the failure of the Ministry of Finance and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to pay its members without the existing public university allowances for the month of December 2019.
"Under the circumstances where the government has refused to implement the National Labour Commission (NLC) ruling of October 28, 2019, we are informing you of the immediate resumption of our suspended strike," TUTAG said in a letter dated December 23, 2019 and seen by Graphic Online.
The letter, signed by the General Secretary of TUTAG, Mr Joseph Danso to the Executive Secretary of the NLC said on October 28, 2019, the commission expressly ruled that the Ministry of Finance and the government should pay lecturers in technical universities the same existing allowances as their counterparts in the public universities "with a specific roadmap beginning from December 2019 and subsequent arrears paid in January and February 2020 with the effective date from August 2019".
"However salaries for December 2019 have been paid without the said allowances with no official communication to that effect," the letter stated.
"We wish to inform you that the FWSC and the Ministry of Finance have blatantly refused to comply with your express ruling. You recall that in our letter dated November 27, 2019, we notified you of our intention to resume the suspended strike if the FWSC undermines the NLC ruling of October 28, 2019, and pay anything less than the existing public university allowances," it said.

Peace fm where did you allow someone to write plenty and you're restricting tus from doing same? Or that feedback was written by yourself or someone you know?
@@Omanpaba why are you hiding your name. Your submission about NPP approach and NDC plans is absolute nonsensical.NDC is more confused than NPP granted NPP is confused. Quality education is not in name change. You must equip them with the necessary tools. These teachers don't even have the tools to work meanwhile they're asking to be paid for no quality work.
What is the benchmark for education? Is it not interesting that, for the NPP, when it comes to basic education, we say UK, Kenya and Sudan, when it comes to secondary, we say America, when it come to Tertiary, we say China???? Confusion all over. This is what happens when you PhD holders who talk more than they think. They never consult because they say they know it all. Talk about industrialization...NDC under Mahama prioritised TVET and the policy was to make Technical and Vocational education free. TVET and science is what stimulates industrialization not General Arts and accounting. So when you make everything free, you are either confused or being populist....like that student who puts his hands up first in class to every question yet every answer is a bomb. NPP...borgafu)….so so bragging but nothing really. Remember Kuffour 1cedi to 1dollar claim hen infact it was artificial.....!
Anokwa but December has not even ended then u resume a strike and still went for your December salary. motrimu yemode paa
Was it even necessary to convert the poly technics to technical universities without equipping them with the require materials?
Napo knows nothing about education. He will destroy the technical universities the same way he did at winneba and now UENR
" NA WHO COURSE AM " China more advance in technology have turned about six hundred universities into poly technics. Ghana knows nothing turning poly technics into technical universities without any technical materials or machines, just for cheap political gains. There was no problem, we as a country went to look for our own problems. What has changed from poly technics to technical universities? Anything new? Lord have mercy.
