‘We Will Continue Our Strike Until Our Demands Are Met’ – CLOGSAG

The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG), says its industrial action will still be observed by all civil and local government workers, as its National Executive Council continues to also engage in negotiation with the government. CLOGSAG laid down their tools on the Thursday, April 21, 2022, following the

inability of the government to also pay their neutrality allowance as agreed upon in the January this year. Their demand for the allowance has been criticized by many including Civil Society Organizations.The Centre for the Democratic Development Ghana, (CDD), for instance, suggested that the association rather channels its

energies into demanding a level playing field regarding service conditions among public sector workers. But CLOGSAG members remain resolute in their demand for their allowance. In a letter to the Civil Service signed by its President, Isaac Bampoe Addo, the association also insisted that the strike would continue unabated until

their demands are met. The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana will also wish to draw your attention to the ongoing strike by members of CLOGSAG. It should also be noted that by a letter dated March 30, 2022. CLOGSAG also declared its intention to embark on strike to press home our demand for the implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding entered into with

government on January 20, 2022. The industrial action has become necessary after the government’s failure to fulfill its side of the agreement since February 2022. This action is legal and is proceeding unabated. CLOGSAG members are enjoined to be steadfast, resolute, and committed to the cause and stay at home until further notice, the association noted.
