The Technical Universities Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) has described as misleading claims made by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) on negotiations so far.
The Commission on Thursday said the lecturers showed bad faith by declaring strike after series of negotiations, which saw them all migrated onto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) effective August, 2019.
TUTAG declared an indefinite strike on Monday, October 7, demanding a wholesale migration of lecturers onto the same salary scheme as other public universities.
They adduced that since the conversion of some polytechnics into technical universities in 2016, government has failed to put in place measures to enable lecturers enjoy benefits received by university lecturers.
But FWSC said despite long-drawn negotiations involving four ministers of state, TUTAG rejected all offers.
“TUTAG however demanded an immediate surrender of all the concessions gov’t made.”
The Commission added: “In effect, government did not reject a single one of their demands. But unfortunately, TUTAG did not table any compromises during the process; a stance which is inconsistent with negotiating in good faith.”
But TUTAG says the claims are “misleading and contains serious factual inaccuracies”.
