CLOGSAG THREATENS STRIKE OVER PENDING CONDITION OF SERVICE

More than 65,000 civil servants across the country are set to withdraw their services in the next 14 days.

According to the Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Isaac Bampoe Addo, the government has failed to implement their revised conditions of service and a new salary structure.

Meanwhile, CLOGSAG has also instructed 3,000 staff of the Births and Deaths Registry to stay at home, citing verbal abuse allegedly directed at them by Registrar Samuel Adom Botchway.

The government is facing fresh pressure from civil servants, as the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana, ‘CLOGSAG,’ threatens to withdraw its services within the next two weeks.

The threat follows the government’s failure to implement a new condition of service agreement and salary structure signed with CLOGSAG last year.

Both parties had agreed that implementation would begin in January 2025, but the commitment remains unfulfilled, despite five separate meetings with the Ministry of Labour.

Tensions are now rising among over 65,000 civil servants nationwide.

The executive secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, insists the government has run out of time and that CLOGSAG members will begin their industrial action in two weeks.

 

This development comes on the heels of a nationwide strike by nurses and midwives last week, where 128,000 health workers withdrew their services.

That strike was only suspended after parliamentary intervention, but the government is still struggling to meet its financial demands.

CLOGSAG, however, says it is unmoved by the government’s financial challenges.

In a related development, CLOGSAG has ordered its 3,000 members at the Births and Deaths Registry to stay at home starting Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

The directive follows claims of verbal abuse allegedly directed at staff by the registrar, Samuel Adom Botchway.

CLOGSAG says it will not tolerate what it describes as a toxic working environment and is calling for swift action.
