The Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has served notice of industrial action should the government refuse to pay the tier-2 Pension contributions of members.
In a statement signed by the Association's National President, Isaac Donkoh, the government should as a matter of urgency pay all outstanding debt and contributions together with the appropriate interest from February to December 2023 using the three percent penalty rates as stipulated by the Pension's Act, Act 766 section 64.
He stressed that contrary to this, the Union would be forced to withdraw its services across all university campuses from Monday, January 15th, 2024.
Mr Donkoh in the statement also demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) letters dated Novembe 7 and 20, 2023, respectively, which illegally eliminate overtime allowance for senior staff.
