The National Executive Committee of the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) is set to engage with the National Labour Commission (NLC) on Wednesday regarding the suspension of its planned strike.

The association has concurrently issued a call for tranquility across all affected campuses amidst these deliberations.

The Association had initially issued a strike threat due to the alleged failure of management in certain Technical Universities to address concerns related to retirement. However, it later decided to rescind this threat.

In an interview, President of the Association, Joseph Mensah disclosed that a crunch meeting with the NLC will determine the fate of the strike.

“There’s a monumental progress made towards the resolution of our demand. Those attempts have been on the instance of the Minister of Education pursuant to which a directive has been issued to the non-compliant institutions to do so. Subsequent to it, we have had a fruitful discussion with the Vice Chancellors and they have pledged their commitment to abide by the conditions of the role over.

“It is in respect of these progressive moves by the Vice Chancellors and national stakeholders that is why we have decided to suspend the strike. Suspend in the sense that we have some summons from the NLC. We do not know what is the view of the Commission whether or not the invitation is strictly on the reasons for our intended strike action or an addendum to our issues.”
