The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has announced a nationwide strike beginning Thursday, November 7, 2024.
This action is in response to what CLOGSAG describes as a "prolonged delay" in finalizing a new salary structure for its members, which they expected to be ready for implementation on January 1, 2025.
Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo, the Head of CLOGSAG, explained that this decision follows a notice served on October 23, 2024. CLOGSAG had given the government until October 31 to resolve the salary structure issue. Since the deadline passed without any resolution, the Association decided to take action.

In a statement, CLOGSAG expressed its frustration, noting that despite "multiple meetings" with government representatives, no concrete offer has been made. They further criticized the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) for what they see as a lack of good faith. “As a result of the delay in the completion of salary structure and other conditions of service, CLOGSAG members have no other option than to stay at home from November 7, 2024,” the statement read.
With the strike set to begin, members of CLOGSAG will cease all work until their concerns are addressed. Below is the full statement from CLOGSAG detailing their decision and demands.
