The issues at stake
The Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU) have currently stopped working because the government has not paid them a cost-of-living allowance of 20% of their basic salaries (COLA).
They are unhappy that their accrued interest on Tier 2 pension arrears have not been paid while expressing dissatisfaction about salary at the Universities. The action is to compel government to pay the 20% cost of living allowance (COLA) as demanded due to the economic hardship in the country.
