CLOGSAG declares nationwide strike over non implementation of new salary structure

The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike set to begin on Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

The association says it is dissatisfied with the government’s failure to implement the new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, despite a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) being reached a year and a half ago.

At a media briefing, CLOGSAG’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, urged all members to adhere to the strike directive until their demands are met by the government.

“Indicating our intentions to proceed on a nationwide strike if the new salary structure for the staff of the civil service and local government service is not implemented, we hereby declare a nationwide strike with effect from Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

“All staff of the civil service and local government service are to stay away from work until further notice. Similarly, all CLOGSAG secretarial offices must be closed. Kindly take note and comply accordingly.”
