Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana declares indefinite strike

The Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has declared an indefinite industrial strike action.

The strike action follows the government’s persistent disregard for the welfare of university senior staff as well as what they have described as poor service conditions.

National Chairman of SSA-UoG, Isaac Donkoh, addressing the media in Accra on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, maintained that until the government pays all outstanding debt and pension contributions together with the appropriate interest from March to December 2023, they are not ending the strike.

He equally demanded the government prioritize the recalculation of accrued interest on Tier-2 pensions for 2010–2016, as agreed upon in a Memorandum of Agreement on July 25, 2022.
