The National Chairman of the Senior Staff Association of Public Universities Mr. Isaac Donkoh, has said there was no plans yet in sight to call off the strike immediately since the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Association has no such intentions.
Speaking to SOMPA NEWS on the strike, he said the meeting of the NEC demands cognition of resources, and they have to pull resources in order to arrange for such meeting to ix a date.
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has issued a directive instructing the Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU), affiliated with the Trades Union Congress, and the Senior Staff Association of Public Universities and the Federation of Universities Senior Staff to immediately cease their ongoing strike. The NLC contends that until the unions comply with this directive, they will not be able to engage in addressing the various demands put forth by the striking teacher unions.
Following a meeting with the unions, Ofosu Asamoah, the Executive Secretary of the NLC, informed journalists that progress has been made in addressing some of the concerns raised by the unions.
But Mr. Isaac Donkoh said the strike could linker on for more days since they NLC has no plans to respond to their concerns.
