NIA Staff Declare Indefinite Strike

With effect from June 10, 2024, The Divisional Executive Council of the Public Service Workers’ Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Ghana, National Identification Authority Division, has proclaimed an indefinite strike.

The government’s refusal to address poor working conditions and bargain for improved service conditions for NIA employees is what sparked the strike.

The union, in a statement on Sunday, June 9 stated that it had deferred its initial strike notice in March 2024, following the intervention of the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations.

However, the government’s lack of progress in the negotiation process has prompted the union to take industrial action.

According to the statement, the strike is premised on several factors including the government’s failure to address undue delays in the negotiation process and granting institution-specific allowances to NIA staff.

PSWU has urged members nationwide to adhere to the decision until further notice, resulting in the cessation of services at all NIA offices, including district, regional, and premium centres.
