The Workers’ Union of the Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS) has suspended its strike action.

The Union went on strike over “the intended migration of staff of SDD-UBIDS and CKT-UTAS to the Controller and Accountant General Department’s (CAGD’s) payroll (IPPD2), in contravention of the existing agreements.”

The Union, in a release said their decision to call off the strike, follows a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed between the workers’ unions (SDD-UBIDS and CKT-UTAS) and the Minister of Education for all migration processes to be halted, until all the conditions precedent for the migration of public universities on to the CAGD’s IPPD2, are met.

“This MoA was reached at a meeting on Tuesday, August 17, 2021, between the leadership of the workers’ unions of the two universities and the Minister of Education, with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), CAGD, and Management of the two universities in attendance,” part of the statement read.

The Union therefore urged its members to resume work with immediate effect.
