A gathering called by the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations in Accra yesterday[July 6, 2022] to assist with settling issues prompting a cross country strike by educators finished in a gridlock.
Thus, agents of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the four instructor associations said the strike would proceed.
Members emerged from the gathering with frustration composed on their countenances when writers moved toward them to figure out what had unfolded at the gathering.
"The strike proceeds" and "We will be back for additional gatherings" were a portion of their reactions.
Addressing the public authority side were the Minister of Employment and work Relations, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah; the Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and agents from the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Addressing the associations were the heads of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (CCT-GH), as well as the TUC.
Request
The Deputy General-Secretary of the TUC, Joshua Ansah, who tended to the media, said the gathering was essentially about educators' interest for typical cost for many everyday items recompense (CoLA), and that they would keep on connecting with the public authority to track down a neighborly answer for the matter.
He expressed out loud whatever happened at the gathering didn't measure up to their assumptions and "we won't request that the instructor associations cancel the strike since we are as yet arranging".
"We have not reached a resolution thus we will connect further in ensuing gatherings," he added.
He, in any case, said more associations would before long join the activity by the educators assuming the public authority neglected to resolve the issue of CoLA.
Bid
The Deputy Minister of Employment and Labor Relations, Bright Wireko-Brobby, said the public authority acknowledged the genuine worries of educators yet spoke to the associations to urge their individuals to get back to the homeroom while exchanges proceeded.
He said following the announcement of the modern activity by educators, the public authority had been proactive in gathering the associations.
The appointee serve, notwithstanding, said the public authority required additional opportunity to address the worries of the oppressed instructors since "times are hard" because of winning worldwide difficulties, which he said had impacted the country's monetary development.
"The public authority is in an extremely critical circumstance and we cleared up for them that times are not excessively great and, in this way, we beg them.
"We are saying that they have genuine worries, however times are bad, so as and when the circumstance transforms, we will tell them, and it will be very soon," Mr Wireko-Brobby said.
The public authority, he further said, was giving a valiant effort to address their complaints, so understudies and students would get back to the homeroom soon.
Review
The educator associations on Monday declared an endless strike to squeeze home their interest for the installment of CoLA.
They asserted the public authority had not followed up on the solicitation they made for the installment of the stipend since February this year.
The associations, in this manner, gave the public authority a cutoff time for the installment of the stipend, which passed last Thursday without their requests being met.
The associations made sense of that their requests had become vital following the increasing cost for many everyday items in the country.
The ceaseless ascent in the costs of fuel, labor and products, they said, had delivered the four and the seven percent compensation increases from last year unimportant.
