Some workers of the University of Ghana are complaining about what they say is undue delays in the payment of their salaries. The workers including lecturers say their salaries are sometimes delayed for almost two weeks. They tell Joy News the situation is putting undue pressure on them. President of the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) branch of the University of Ghana, Augustine Karbo said the situation is putting undue pressure on the workers. “The delays in salaries have been consistent for the past three to four months and it’s put unnecessary pressure on [us], the workers’ leaders, and suffering on workers in general. They work at the end of 30 days, they expect to be paid, only to run into the following month. And their families are not happy,” Mr Karbo said. University authorities have yet to comment on the development. But asked what the authorities have been saying about the situation, Mr Karbo cited delays in subvention from government to the university and the “depletion of the buffer stock.” “At the end of the month their creditors are chasing them; they (workers) have to work and put food on the table of their families and things are not going that way, they are very worried about it,” he indicated. TEWU is one of several groups at the university pushing to be migrated onto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS). Mr Karbo however told Joy News the workers will be meeting by the end of July to discuss the way out of the situation. Source: TEWU/UG/
