The Teachers and Education Workers Union of TUC (TEWU-TUC) and the Senior Staff Association, Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), has embarked an indefinite strike at the University of Ghana, Korle Bu Campus, on December 22. The strike is a response to prolonged delays in the payment of arrears of the Interim Hospital Market Premium to eligible staff.
