The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) walked out of a meeting with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) on Wednesday morning. They cited the employer’s (FWSC) bad faith, contempt, and lackadaisical attitude towards discussing important aspects of their conditions of service as reasons for their departure.
The two Associations expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of respect and commitment shown towards their efforts to improve their conditions of service. They made it clear that UTAG/TUTAG would no longer tolerate such behaviour.
Furthermore, they emphasized that they would not participate in meetings that do not yield any benefits.
They issued a warning, stating that the voices of university lecturers would soon be heard in a language that the employer/government would better understand.
