The National Labour Commission (NLC) has ordered three university staff unions to immediately call off their ongoing strike, citing violations of Ghana's Labour Act.
In a directive dated May 21, 2025, the Commission invoked Section 139(1)(d) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), instructing the Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), the Technical University Administrators Association of Ghana (TUAAG), and the Federation of Universities Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG) to end their industrial action.
The directive follows a notice served on the Commission on May 12, in which the unions cited the government's failure to implement agreed conditions of service.
The original agreement was signed on November 12, 2024.
