Members of the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG) at the Kumasi Polytechnic have suspended their two week strike.The teachers joined their colleagues in Takoradi and Sunyani to embark on the industrial action, in agitation over anomalies in their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure.National POTAG executives, at its congress in Bolgatanga, directed the striking teachers to return to work, following the intervention of the National Labour Commission to get the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the Association to address the teachers’ concerns.POTAG Takoradi and Sunyani heeded to the call and called off the strike last Friday.Members at the Kumasi Polytechnic at an emergency meeting Monday decided to suspend the action “to give the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission the benefit of the doubt” in resolving issues concerning the POTAG’s market premium.“Members in their wisdom agreed that let’s allow them the opportunity, so that is after the 13th [of March] they are not able to resolve the issues, we’ll be right to go on strike again”, Edmond Oppong-Peprah, Local POTAG Chairman at K-Poly told Luv News.The teachers are returning to the classroom with immediate effect.Mr. Oppong-Peprah said the Association will be meeting with the school’s management to make up for any shortfall in the academic calendar.
