The National Labour Commission has advised the leadership of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) to appear before it on Wednesday, July 10.
The association failed to attend a meeting scheduled on Wednesday, July 3 following the commencement of its strike.
It is reported that CLOGSAG refused to show up at the meeting, raising issues with the constitution of the committee formed to address the concerns of members.
In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Ofosu Asamoah, said the composition of the panel is being reviewed and urged the association to honour the next invitation.
“Upon their notice, we requested the ministries involved to respond as well as the Office of the Senior Presidential Advisor who is leading the ministerial committee on the negotiation which they duly did and for that matter, a meeting was scheduled and they wrote to us challenging the constitution of the panel.
“So the commission has looked at it and we have been directed to respond referencing them to sections 136 and 178 of the Labour Act and then reschedule a meeting for July 10. Meanwhile, they are to call off the strike.”
