Senior staff in state-run public universities have called off a strike, leadership said on Tuesday.
The university staff who have formed the Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) withdrew their services to protest against the government over non-payment of Tier 2 pension funds.
But they will have to resume work following a court order secured and served on their leadership by the National Labour Commission (NLC).
“I write on behalf of the National Executive Council of Senior Staff Association-University of Ghana (SSA-UOG) to suspend our industrial strike action which was declared on 21st January 2021.”
“This has become imperative as a result of your interlocutory injunction and served on us, and also after broad and constructive consultations with our legal team,” a statement signed by the National Chairman of (SSA-UoG), Zakaria Mohammed and addressed to the NLC said.
SSA-UoG had embarked on a strike to demand an improved market premium and non-basic allowance as well as the migration of public universities onto the government payroll.
Their action compelled management of affected universities to close down its basic schools for nearly three weeks.
They are expected to return to work on February 10, 2021.
