The Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH) has reiterated its call for its members to continue with the ongoing strike. The union emphasized the need to persist with the strike until the vehicle maintenance allowance is disbursed to eligible members.
According to TEWU-GH, the strike will only be halted once all of their demands are satisfactorily addressed by the government. They have urged their members to adhere to the decision to continue the strike, stating that it is for the collective benefit of the union.
The union pointed out that although the government has resolved the issue of Tier 2 and directed public universities to pay the overtime and extra duty allowance, the government has remained silent on the vehicle maintenance allowance payment to deserving staff.
As a result, TEWU-GH stated that the strike action will continue until further notice. The industrial strike was initiated on February 1 by TEWU-GH, demanding the disbursement of members’ Tier-2 and vehicle maintenance allowances.
