“We can no longer survive the current economic malaise with the salary levels of the Ghanaian teacher,” the Vice President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Jacob Anaaba, stated.
NAGRAT has threatened to strike in demand for better conditions of service.
“The union wants the government to start negotiations aimed at reviewing teachers’ conditions of service,’’ Jacob Anaaba made this revelation at a press conference on Monday, November 8, 2021.
“NAGRAT calls on the government to reconvene an emergency joint public service negotiation committee to review the salaries of the Ghanaian Worker and, for that matter, the Ghanaian teacher.”
NAGRAT also urged the leadership of organized labour to “immediately take steps to put pressure on governments to take decisions to improve the wherewithal of the Ghanaian worker.”
NAGRAT assured that “we will soon embark on a series of actions to drum home the suffering of the Ghanaian worker.
Jacob Anaaba urged the union to stand in readiness for action.
