The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike starting Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
CLOGSAG’s decision comes in response to the government’s failure to implement a new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, despite a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) being reached over a year and a half ago.
In a media address, CLOGSAG’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, urged all members to adhere to the strike directive until their demands are met.
“Indicating our intentions to proceed on a nationwide strike if the new salary structure for the staff of the civil service and local government service is not implemented, we hereby declare a nationwide strike with effect from Wednesday, July 3, 2024.
“All staff of the civil service and local government service are to stay away from work until further notice. Similarly, all CLOGSAG secretarial offices must be closed. Kindly take note and comply accordingly,” stated Addo.
This strike action underscores the association’s frustration with the prolonged delay in addressing the agreed-upon salary adjustments, highlighting the urgency of the situation for civil and local government staff across Ghana.
