The Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union of the Trades Union Congress (TEWU of TUC) has announced plans to embark on industrial action, citing unresolved delays in the signing of Conditions of Service for members across several key public institutions.
The affected institutions include Technical and Public Universities, the Ghana Library Authority, and the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB).
According to the union, repeated engagements and persistent follow-ups with the relevant authorities have failed to yield any progress, leaving their members in a state of uncertainty and discontent.
In a press statement issued on September 8, TEWU of TUC said the prolonged inaction has taken a severe toll on the welfare and morale of its members, who have continued to work under unclear and outdated employment conditions.
“We have outlived our patience and can no longer contain the growing pressure from our rank and file,” the union stated. “The continued postponement is unacceptable and leaves us with no alternative but to escalate the matter.”
The union has formally notified the management of the affected institutions of its intention to commence industrial action effective Thursday, 19th September 2025.
The move, according to the group, is aimed at compelling the relevant authorities to expedite the signing and implementation of the long-awaited Conditions of Service.
