The Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has declared an indefinite strike beginning Thursday, September 19, 2025, to protest delays in finalizing and signing Conditions of Service agreements.
The industrial action will affect members in Technical and Public Universities, the Ghana Library Authority, and the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB).
In a statement signed by General Secretary King James Azortibah, the union explained that several engagements with management and relevant authorities have failed to yield results.
TEWU said the prolonged inaction has worsened members’ welfare concerns and eroded morale, leaving them with no choice but to embark on industrial action.
“The prolonged inaction has severely impacted our members’ welfare and morale. We have outlived our patience and can no longer contain the growing pressure from our rank and file,” the statement noted.
TEWU emphasized that the repeated postponement of negotiations is unacceptable and that the strike is aimed at compelling authorities to expedite the process.
Copies of the notice have been formally sent to the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, the National Labour Commission, Vice Chancellors of Public Universities, and other relevant stakeholders as the union presses for immediate resolution.
