UTAG rejects GAUA claims of discrimination over Market Premium disparities in public universities

UTAG is instead calling on the government, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Ministry of Education, National Labour Commission and other stakeholders to undertake an independent review of the remuneration structure for Senior Members in public universities.

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has rejected claims by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) that disparities in Market Premiums between teaching and non-teaching Senior Members amount to discrimination.

While the Association maintained that it was not opposed to improved conditions of service for non-teaching Senior Members, it rejected the argument that fairness could only be achieved by making remuneration uniform across different occupational groups.
