The National Labour Commission (NLC) has given the three aggrieved Pre-Tertiary teacher unions two weeks to conclude their negotiations with the government over their concerns.
The three pre-tertiary teacher unions, the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), are yet to conclude negotiations with the government over concerns regarding their conditions of service.
This follows the suspension of the nationwide strike by the unions, earlier this month following an interim injunction by the NLC to facilitate negotiations with relevant stakeholders.
Addressing journalists after an engagement with the NLC in Accra on Wednesday, the General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas Musah expressed optimism about a possible conclusion within two weeks.
“We have not been able to conclude the negotiations and hence we came back to inform the commission and the commission has given us two more weeks to ensure that we get it done. So all things being equal on the 2nd of May will revert to the Commission as to work done so far.”
“The next move is that we have been given two weeks and we are to go and engage the employer. We believe that this time good faith will prevail for the sake of Mother Ghana…We are going to engage starting today,” he stated.
