\n

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has ordered the three striking teacher unions to call off their strike.<\/p>\n

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, declared a nationwide strike.<\/p>\n

The action they said stemmed from what they described as the government\u2019s negligence in addressing their conditions of service.<\/p>\n

Key grievances highlighted included the ongoing withholding of teachers\u2019 salaries, unilateral changes to timetables without consulting the unions, and delays in the distribution of laptops to teachers.<\/p>\n

But the NLC in a statement signed and issued by its Chairperson, Justice Kwabena Asuman-Adu on Thursday \u201cin pursuance of Section 133 (1) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) orders GNAT, NAGRAT, and CCT to rescind the decision of the declaration of a nationwide strike made on Wednesday 20 March 2024 and announced on various media networks in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commission said the order was in view of the fact that the declaration was not in compliance with Section 159 of Act 651.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Unions are accordingly advised,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
