The Teacher and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) has threatened to resume its strike over government's failure to pay all outstanding arrears relating to their professional development allowances.

The Union in a release dated August 1, 2023 and signed by the General Secretary, Mark Dankyira Korankye called on the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission to complete its negotiations by August 4, 2023.

According to TEWU, its members are disappointed in the way FWSC is handling the negotiation for the payment of the allowance.

“At a meeting held by the TEWU of TUC (GH) Management Committee on 26th July, 2023, the meeting resolved that the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission should be given up to 7th August, 2023 to complete the negotiation for the payment of the allowance by November, 2023.

“Therefore, if the Commission fails to complete the negotiation by 7th August, 2023, leadership of the Union should not be blamed for any action that may be taken by aggrieved members of the Teachers and Educational Workers' Union of TUC (GH)," portions of the release indicated.
