UTAG Strike : Pentecostal Council Call on Gov’t and UTAG ; The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has urged the government and the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) to take into account the consequences of the latter’s strike and return to the negotiating table with open minds and less entrenched stances. The parties must be committed to respecting the conclusion of all negotiated agreements, according to the document.
“We also urge the National Labour Commission, in particular, to at all times demonstrate a posture of impartiality and proactiveness in resolving labour disputes rather than being reactionary in its approach to dealing with labour unions.
“While urging government — the employer — to demonstrate sincerity and commitments to a lasting negotiated settlement to this impasse, we also wish to appeal to UTAG to consider calling off its industrial action and returning to the negotiation table,” a communique issued at the end of the GPCC’s 2022 Conference of Heads of Churches and Organisations said.
The council expressed great worry about recent labor disruption, particularly in the education sector, noting, in particular, the nearly four-week-long strike by UTAG.
