The Public Services Workers Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (Ghana), National Identification Authority (NIA) Division, has issued a firm ultimatum to management, demanding immediate resolution of longstanding staff welfare concerns.
The union warns that failure to address these grievances within 21 working days could lead to a nationwide industrial action.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the Acting Executive Secretary of the NIA, the union listed four critical issues: unpaid operational support allowances, delayed staff migration and promotions, non-payment of allowances for acting District Registration Officers (DROs), and outstanding compensation for the under-15 registration exercise conducted between October and December 2024.
According to the PSWU, the non-payment of the 20% operational support allowance-which has been in arrears for four months-is causing severe financial strain among staff, with many reportedly incurring debt in anticipation of the funds.
