The Coalition of Concerned Teachers has downplayed suggestions the nationwide strike it declared last week was illegal. The National Labour Commission (NLC) and the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) have both questioned the legality of the strike and the mandate of the coalition to declare such action. However, the leadership of the group say they have breached no law. Its spokesperson Godfred Agyekum told Nhyira fm’s Naa Amerley Nortey that it is the Labour Commission that failed to act though the coalition had satisfied all legal requirements for calling a strike. “The government has directed Labour Commission to meet us so far as the strike action is concerned. “According to the Labour law, before any group can embark on a strike action you have to give him seven clear days…” Mr Agyekum stated, adding that the coalition satisfied that requirement and only called for a strike after the Labour Commission had refused to respond to their calls.
