The Divisional Executives Council of the Public Services Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Ghana, National Identification Authority (NIA) Division, has announced an industrial strike effective today, October 7.
A notice issued by the aggrieved workers on Sunday, October 6, indicates that the strike is a result of the employer’s failure to implement their newly approved scheme of service.
The aggrieved workers say they will not call off their industrial action until the agreed scheme of service is implemented.
“After exhaustive patience and repeated demands, we regret to inform you that your unacceptable failure to operationalize the newly approved Scheme of Service (SoS) has compelled us to take this decisive action beginning Monday, October 7, 2024. And by extension, all our members will not avail ourselves to work beginning [Monday] until the scheme of service is fully operationalized.”
The workers say the failure to implement the agreed scheme of service is a blatant breach of trust and a direct attack on the well-being of all members.
“The SoS, which was painstakingly approved by PSC within two weeks in record history, in the month of March remains a vital tool for our collective survival and progress. Management’s obstinate refusal to implement this critical document is a blatant betrayal of trust and a direct attack on our well-being.”
