The Union urged its members to resume full work by Monday, November 25, 2024.
King James Azortibah, the General Secretary of the Union, announced this in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
“We assure our cherished members that the leadership of TEWU of TUC-Ghana is bent on ensuring that there will be finality to the issue of the conditions of service of the affected institutions for immediate implementation.
“Our members are being shortchanged with the continuous delay in concluding and implementing the Conditions of Service, and this cannot be allowed to continue,” the statement said.
TEWU of TUC-Ghana on Monday, November 18, 2024, embarked on an indefinite industrial action, over more than four years delay in concluding and implementing the Conditions of Service for its member institutions.

The National Labour Commission on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, issued a directive that the strike should be called off while the Union and its various managements concerned report back on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, for the Commission to hear the substantive case.
