The government has two weeks to enforce the agreed conditions of service for the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), if agreements are not enforced between June 16 and 30, 2025.

This comes after the government's crunch meeting with the Association’s National Executive Council (NEC) on Thursday, 12 June.

At the meeting during which members unanimously demanded full implementation of a revised salary structure and improved service conditions previously negotiated with the government.

Following the meeting, CLOGSAG in a statement issued on June 12 and signed by the Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo,called on the Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, Mr Rashid Pelpuo, to act without delay.

“Within two weeks, that is, from Monday, 16th June, 2025 up to 30th June, 2025, CLOGSAG expects a positive response from the government. Failure to initiate implementation, the Association would have no other option than to embark on a nationwide strike,” the statement read.

They said “ the Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment should see to the effective implementation of the new Salary Structure and other conditions of service for CLOGSAG members”.

The Association stressed that the terms are long overdue and cautioned that further delays would significantly disrupt public sector operations across the country.

This is not the first time the Association has embarked on strike over conditions of service and remuneration.On July 3, 2024 CLOGSAG declared a nationwide strike due to the government’s failure to implement a new salary structure that had been agreed upon since January 2023.

The association directed all members to stay away from work indefinitely until the government fulfilled its commitments.

Also on November 7, 2024, CLOGSAG initiated another nationwide strike after the government failed to finalise the salary structure by October 31, 2024, as previously agreed. The association rejected the government’s proposed January 1, 2025, implementation date, calling it unrealistic.

CLOGSAG also accused the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) of acting in bad faith, leading to a complete disengagement from negotiations.

Meanwhile, their proposed strike comes barely 5 days after the government had a successful agreement with Ghanaian nurses to end their 2-week strike over similar agreements in terms of conditions of service and some other allowances.
