In a statement issued today December 10, 2019, the NLC, while describing the industrial action as illegal, accused the Unions of failing to notify the Commission before embarking on their strike.
The teacher unions — the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) declared a strike December 5, 2019, after a series of failed engagements with the government on Legacy Arrears incurred between 2012 and 2016.
