The majority of members of the University of Ghana (UG) branch of the Universities Teachers Association Ghana (UTAG) have voted to reject the association’s decision to suspend its strike.
When voting was done, 596 members voted against calling off the strike, whereas 127 members voted in support of suspending the strike.
Similarly, the University of Education Winneba chapter of UTAG had earlier voted against its National Executive Committee’s decision to suspend the strike.
UTAG had resolved to suspend its industrial action until March 4, 2022.
This came after the National Executive Committee of UTAG in a statement on Monday indicated that it would heed the advice of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education and the court ruling to suspend its strike temporarily.
The Association wants the government to restore their 2012 conditions of service, which pegged the monthly income of entry-level lecturers at $2,084.
