NLC Executive Secretary, Ofosu Asamoah

The National Labour Commission has invited representatives of government and striking pre-tertiary teachers for a hearing in relation to the impasse between the two parties.

They are scheduled to appear before the commission on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at 10 am.

“With this intervention, the union is advised to stay all ongoing/intended action(s) and appear as scheduled,” a copy of a letter sighted by Starrfm.com.gh advised.

The invitation comes after the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations sought the commission’s intervention in the strike.

The three teacher unions including the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (CCT) have been on strike since November 4, protesting the appointment of Dr. Eric Nkansah as the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service.

Several meetings between the unions and the Ministry since the protest began ended in a stalemate.
