– –<\/span> NAGRAT and other teacher unions gave the government until June 30 to pay or risk strike measures.<\/p>\n According to NAGRAT, the economic downturn has hurt teachers, hence they want allowances.<\/p>\n The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission insists that all parties must agree on a final payment.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> \u201cIt\u2019s reasonable that stakeholders may request the payment of COLA or any other allowance, but we must sit down with organized labor, the government, and all other parties to decide whether COLA will be paid. We haven\u2019t negotiated 2023 basic salary for the budget.<\/p>\n The minimal daily pay hasn\u2019t been determined, said Commission Head of Public Affairs Earl Ankrah.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> Jacob Anaba, vice president of NAGRAT, said the ultimatum is due to the economy, teachers\u2019 hardship, and the government\u2019s refusal to compromise.<\/p>\n The president remarked, \u201cWe (government) know how to revive the economy. We don\u2019t know how to revive folks. What\u2019s different? Your employees are dying, Mr. President; please prioritize them above the economy. The worker can\u2019t afford it.\u201d<\/p>\n If their demands aren\u2019t satisfied, NAGRAT may take industrial action.<\/p>\n \u201cWe demand that the government offer employees a 20% COLA by June 2022.<\/p>\n If all requirements aren\u2019t met by July 2022, leadership will announce a strike. Leadership concedes to members\u2019 desire for meaningful action, starting with wearing red bands by June 2022 if demands aren\u2019t realized\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> – – The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission will shortly convene all parties to decide whether teachers\u2019 20% COLA will be paid.
