The Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH) has instructed its members to continue with their current strike.

In a statement released on Monday, TEWU-GH emphasised the importance of persisting with the strike until the vehicle maintenance allowance is disbursed to eligible members.

TEWU-GH reiterated that the strike will only be halted once all of their demands are satisfactorily addressed by the government.

Consequently, they urged their members to uphold the decision to continue the strike, emphasising that it was for the collective benefit of the union.

“The government has since resolved the issue of Tier 2 and also directed the public universities that were affected to pay the overtime and extra duty allowance, but silent on the vehicle maintenance allowance payment to deserving staff.”

“Some of these issues remain unresolved as the employer, since February 1, 2024, has refused to resolve the issue of the vehicle maintenance allowance. The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Tertiary Education Workers Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH) in the public universities, therefore, wishes to reiterate that the ongoing strike action is to continue until further notice.”

TEWUG initiated an industrial strike on February 1, demanding the disbursement of members' Tier-2 and vehicle maintenance allowances.
