Basic necessities of life of workers have been challenged heavily—GNAT

The General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Thomas Tanko Musah, has called on government to pay workers the ‘cost of living allowance’ as a matter of urgency.

According to him, there is an uneasy calm due to the high cost of living which government needs to address urgently.

Our members cannot easily forget that one.

As we speak today, we are talking about the basic necessities of life that have heavily been challenged

“The human security should be taken seriously because every day our workers have been calling us, so currently there is an uneasy calm.

And it has become necessary that whatever we can do to bring this particular matter to the front burner is what we are doing,” he added.

He further indicated that this is the time government must come up with some interventions rather than wait for things to escalate before they negotiate with them.
