The Ghana National Association of Teachers, GNAT has asked the National Labour Commission to compel the Ghana Education Service, GES to return to the salary negotiation table.

According to the association after six meetings of the Negotiation Committee two weeks ago, the GES Management broke off the talks to consult their principals.

However the Management Team has since not returned.

The teachers association said it was yet to receive any favourable response after it wrote to ask the educational authorities to return to the negotiation table.

At a news conference in Accra on Wednesday, the National President of GNAT Joseph Kweku Adjei told Joy News that the negotiations have stalled.

The Standing Negotiating Committee made up of GNAT and GES was inaugurated in October to negotiate new salary proposals submitted by the teachers, which was supposed to have been included in the 2007 National Budget.
