The Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG) has decided to continue with its strike in spite of the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) order to call it off.<\/p>\n
The NLC held a meeting with POTAG\u00a0in order to\u00a0convince POTAG to call off the strike but the two parties failed reach a consensus.<\/p>\n
POTAG has been on strike for two weeks demanding the payment of their book and research allowance.<\/p>\n
According to the Association, government has not shown commitment to resolving their concerns.<\/p>\n
The Association therefore ordered its members to withdraw all their services until government address their concerns.<\/p>\n
POTAG has said it will only resume work if government pays them their allowance.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/b>, the President of the Association, Mr. Dugra said the strike the strike will continue until government shows commitment to paying their allowances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not convinced about the stance of NLC because we followed the due processes to arrive at a conclusion of declaring a strike but we have decided that looking at the stance of stakeholders, it seems our matter is not a matter to them so the strike still continues until when we feel government is showing commitment to paying our book and research allowance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
