The
Civil and Local Government Staff Association has announced they would embark on
a nationwide strike on July 30 if the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission fails
to put forward a concrete offer on the market premium to its members when they
are migrated onto the Single Spine Salary Structure. In a communiqué issued in
Accra today, the association said its decision is based on the failure of the
Commission to comply with directives by the Minister of Employment and Social
Welfare to develop scenarios for the payment of premium to members of CLOGSAG
by March 5, 2012. But the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission has dismissed
their claims. According to the Director in Charge of Grievances and
Negotiations at the Commission, Cornelius Yawson, CLOGSAG is not eligible for
market premium under the new structure. He noted that CLOGSAG’s decision to
withdraw their services is not the solution to the problem. He encouraged them
to rather resort to procedure by submitting to the National Labour Commission
for both sides to amicably settle the issue.
