It still surprises me GAUA is on strike after signing MoU – Fair Wages CEO

The Chief Executive Officer of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), Dr George Smith-Graham, says he is surprised the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) is still on strike after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the commission to allow further discussions on its concerns over salary disparities.

Dr Smith-Graham said he had expected GAUA to call off its strike following the understanding reached at the meeting, which was intended to give the commission time to examine the association's proposals.

Dr Smith-Graham reiterated that the commission would examine GAUA's proposals and respond by the end of October, while maintaining that the earlier negotiations had been concluded and the agreed payments made.
