The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has appealed to Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to reconsider its planned strike action and return to the negotiating table.
The strike slated for Thursday, November 7, 2024 comes amid ongoing salary structure negotiations and disagreements with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) over the terms of government workers' compensation.
Ms Emelia Ennin, Head of Public Affairs at FWSC, in a press statement said CLOGSAG initially submitted its request for a revised salary structure and improved conditions of service to the Office of the Senior Presidential Advisor for consideration. "In response, the government, represented by FWSC and other officials, formed a technical committee to discuss the proposals alongside CLOGSAG representatives.
Both parties committed to working toward a solution on July 12, 2024, showing initial willingness to resolve the issues," she stated.
