NLC extends teacher unions' negotiations with govt

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has given the three pre-tertiary teacher unions a two week ultimatum to conclude negotiations with the government.

The unions are the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT). 

However, the General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Thomas Musah, has said the government’s lack of preparedness is a betrayal of trust and a display of bad faith.

“The next move is that we have been given two weeks and we are to go and engage the employer
