The Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment, Rashid Pelpuo, has called on the leadership of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to call off its strike and come for dialogue.

According to the Minister, their continuous strike has impacted negatively on government businesses. "I have had discussions with the leadership and I have told them about the need not to be on strike, but to start by doing the talking.

At the moment, I am having discussions with the presidency, I am trying to understand the two ways and what they can do and ask the president representative to communicate his thinking and his idea as what he can do for them. "I believe that CLOGSAG appreciates the situation we are in now.

As a new government it is important that we don't start by having problems with them.
