The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared supports for Pre-tertiary teacher unions in education who announced a nationwide industrial action on Friday, 4th November, 2022.

According to the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), they have been following with keen interest the impasse between the three Teachers Unions thus; GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT-GH and the Ghana Education Service (GES).

While supporting the Teacher Unions on the bold steps they have taken to sanitize the operations of the Ghana Education Service, CLOGSAG finds the twists and turns in the discussion quite unhealthy.

The Association explained that, similar appointments in the Civil Service and the Local Government Service are not conducive for industrial harmony.

A case in point is the appointment of Registrar at the Births and Deaths Registry, that has culminated in a court action that is still pending.
