CETAG bares teeth at Gov’t
Members of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) have embarked on an indefinite strike against the government.
Their action, according to the association, was caused by governments failure to reach an agreement with the government on the payment of their Interim Market Premium as well as Book and Research allowance after three months of negotiations.
A statement signed by Prince Obeng-Himah, President of CETAG, said: “At an emergency National Council meeting of Collages of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) in Kumasi on Monday, 29 October 2018, the highest decision-making body of association resolved to embark on an indefinite strike action with immediate effect in all the forty-six public colleges of education.
“This follows the failure to reach an agreement with the government on Interim Market Premium as well as Book and Research allowance for members of CETAG after three months of negotiations.”
