Fair Wages and Salary Commission Fails to Negotiate; NCCE Notifies of Strike Action

The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) Divisional Staff Union of the Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU) of TUC (Ghana) has announced an indefinite strike beginning on September 18, 2024. The strike follows the failure of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to reconvene for negotiations on staff allowances, despite reminders from the union.

Negotiations, initially scheduled in May 2023, stalled after the FWSC delayed proceedings and showed a lack of commitment to addressing the union’s concerns. This delay, combined with worsening economic conditions and eroding purchasing power, has led NCCE staff to take action.

In the lead-up to the strike, red flags will be raised at all offices, and staff are expected to wear red attire starting September 16. Meetings will be held to further outline the strike’s roadmap.

The union remains firm in its demand for the FWSC to reconvene negotiations and meet their terms, stating that the time for delay tactics has passed.
