The Government Hospital Pharmacists Association (GHOSPA), has described as \u201cunacceptable\u201d the fair wages and salaries commission\u2019s decision not to yield to pressures from public workers for salary increment.<\/p>\n
A number of labour unions including the Government and Hospital Pharmacists Association (GHOSPA), Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), and recently staff of the Electoral Commission,\u00a0have intensified demands\u00a0for increased salaries and some allowances owed them; but the Head of Public Affairs for the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), Earl Ankrah, in an interview on Citi FM <\/strong>said the commission will not give in to demands from labour unions ahead of the December elections.<\/p>\n However, in a separate interview with the General Secretary of GHOSPA, Emmanuel Owiafe, the FWSC will only leave dire consequences at the various hospitals.<\/p>\n \u201cYou cannot owe us for a period of almost six years and you just come out to say that you will not pay because you have not budgeted for it. We will explicitly say that it is show of very bad practice,\u201d Emmanuel Owiafe said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf government blatantly says that this year\u2019s and nothing at all, it is highly unacceptable, and we are not backing down on our stance. We are still on strike and we are very resolute with our demands. We are not backing off until we have a strong commitment from government, he added.<\/p>\n GHOSPA enters into the third week of its strike to demand their changes to their market premiums; as a result of conversion differences after their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Jonas Nyabor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Government Hospital Pharmacists Association (GHOSPA), has described as \u201cunacceptable\u201d the fair wages and salaries commission\u2019s decision not to yield to pressures from public workers for salary increment.
