The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), is expected to appear before the National Labour Commission (NLC) on Wednesday November 7, in respect of a petition against the Association’s industrial action.
This follows a fresh subpoena which was served CLOGSAG on Monday, November 5 in respect of the petition by the Fair Wages and Salary Commission (FWSC) against the Association’s nationwide strike.
Mrs Charlotte Hanson, Public Affairs Officer of NLC who made this known to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Monday in an interview in Accra said “it is believed CLOGSAG did not get the notice of the subpoena that was served them on Friday, November 2 on time”.
The NLC on Friday issued a Writ of Subpoena Adueces Tecum order 38 rule 10 (1) to CLOGSAG to appear before the Commission on Monday.
A copy of the Subpoena obtained by the GNA in Accra on Friday stated that: “You are commended to attend a hearing at the NLC, Ridge on Monday 5, November at 1100 a.m. fixed for the hearing of the petition.
The subpoena which was signed by Mr Edward Briku-Boadu NLC Executive Secretary and copied to the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning added: “Notice of which is hereby given you and from day to day there after as may be needed until the end of the hearing”.
CLOGSAG declared an indefinite industrial action last Wednesday, October 31 to pressure government to pay premium to its members, saying: “The strike…is in response to failure on the part of government and the FWSC to address outstanding issues with regard to the payment of premium.”
