With effect from Monday, January 8, 2024, the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) has called for a nationwide walkout to obtain full compliance with their retirement roll-over date.
TUSAAG lamented that, despite multiple interactions, the administration of certain technical universities had not responded to the concerns raised by its members.
In a statement issued on January 1, TUSAAG cited the failure by the management of Accra Technical University (ATU) and Koforidua Technical University (KTU) to implement the roll-over conditions for qualified personnel, leading to the premature termination of the employment of affected staff members.
“The management of Cape Coast Technical University (CCTU), Sunyani Technical University (STU), Accra Technical University (ATU), and Koforidua Technical University (KTU) has not complied fully with the roll-over of the retirement date to the end of the academic year, despite the clarity provided in all our previous communication.”
“The NEC of TUSAAG hereby declares a nationwide strike effective Monday, January 8, 2024, in demand for full compliance with the conditions of the roll-over of the retirement date, as outlined in the referred portions of the Conditions of Service,” in light of these fatal violations and after meeting the requirements outlined in Section 159 (b) of the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651).
