Members of the Senior Staff Association-Universities of Ghana have brought an end to industrial strike action against the government.

The action of the Association comes after an interlocutory injunction was secured at the Accra High Court by the National Labour Commission (NLC).

The court ordered the Association to call off its strike and for its members to return to their various working posts.

In a press release sighted by JoyNews, the National Chairman for the Association Zakaria Mohammed called on all members to "resume work on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, without further delay."

"I write on behalf of the National Executive Council of Senior Staff Association - Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) to suspend our industrial strike action which was declared on January 21, 2021."

The injunction from the court ordered the Association to go back to the negotiation table with the various stakeholders to discuss matters on better working conditions.

The Association is demanding the payment of non-basic allowance, Tier-2 pension contribution arrears and being a beneficiary of the market premium.

Meanwhile, Mr Zakaria Mohammed has assured its members that their demands will be made a priority in further negotiations.

"We will engage faithfully with government and other relevant stakeholders in our fight and fairness in the payment of our Tier-2 payment contribution arrears and the award of market premium and non-basic allowance to our union members," he stated.
