The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has declared its intention to embark on a nationwide strike from March 9, 2026, over the government’s failure to implement a unique salary structure and agreed conditions of service for its members.
The decision follows what the Association describes as years of protracted negotiations with the government, dating back to 2019. CLOGSAG says two separate Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed, with the implementation of the new salary structure expected to take effect from January 1, 2025.
Speaking on the matter, Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo expressed frustration over what he called the government’s silence despite several reminders.
According to him, letters have been sent to the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), but no response has been received.
Mr. Bampoe Addo said the Association is holding the government accountable for the signed agreements and will not hesitate to withdraw its services if concrete steps are not taken before the March 9 deadline.
He stressed that CLOGSAG would only reconsider its decision if the government demonstrates “good intentions” toward implementing the agreed salary structure and conditions of service.
The Association has since notified the National Labour Commission (NLC) of its intended industrial action, reaffirming its commitment to securing improved conditions of service for its members across the country.
