The Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) has appealed to President Mahama to facilitate the conclusion and implementation of their Conditions of Service.

In a statement signed by the General Secretary of TEWU, King James Azortibah, he said the speedy conclusion of the conditions of service will reduce the simmering agitations among its members. "TEWU Ghana of TUC have some emergency pending issues with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) in relation to the delayed conclusion and implementation of reviewed conditions of service for the members in Ghana Education Service, Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and the Ghana Library Authority as well as the Public and Technical Universities," he said.

According to him, "the gift we want from the new government to our members in respect of the above mentioned institutions, is to ensure timeous and speedy conclusions of the negotiations on the long over due reviewed conditions of service for them." He expressed concern about the non-inclusion of TEWU members in the governing councils of the universities. "The statues and acts establishing the public universities have no ambiguity in the composition of the governing councils, especially TEWU representation.

However, in recent times some top management officers of the public universities have blatantly violated the provisions relating to the governing councils especially where members of TEWU Ghana of TUC are concerned," he bemoaned.
