Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), has called off its one-month-old strike following another intervention by the National Labour Commission (NLC).
The resumption of work is to pave the way “for the commencement of negotiations as directed by the NLC,” a brief statement from CETAG said.
CETAG had been on strike over the failure of the government to pay them their Interim Market Premiums and Book and Research allowance.
The strike affected all 46 Colleges of Education, which were shut down indefinitely.
Previous negotiations between the association and other stakeholders including the Ministry of Education, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the National Council on Tertiary Education (NCTE) yielded no positive results.
The NCTE argued that CETAG did not have the right to declare a strike when negotiations were ongoing.
CETAG was also accused of being unreasonable and failing to present itself for negotiations on the matter, drawing out the impasse.
