Court Orders CLOGSAG To Call Off Strike

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured a court order against the strike by the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG).

According to the Association, the industrial action follows the expiration of an October 31 deadline for the government to meet their demands.

This comes after a notice served on October 23, 2024, in which CLOGSAG described the prolonged delay in finalizing a salary structure for staff to be implemented from January 1, 2025.

In a statement, CLOGSAG said that despite multiple meetings since then, the government has yet to make a concrete offer.

However, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission countered, insisting that CLOGSAG has yet to respond to the government’s offer regarding the new salary structure presented to the association.

In a November 7 application, the NLC approached an Accra High Court, requesting the court to place an interim injunction on the industrial action.

After hearing the application, the court granted the injunction for 10 days, and indicated that after the expiration of this period, the Applicant would need to return to court with notice.

The court order signed by Justice Frank Aboadwe Rockson noted that “UPON READING the affidavit of OFOSU ASAMOAH of House No. C199 Norley Afia Street Nmai -Djorn, Accra, the Executive Secretary for the Applicant herein filed on the 7th day of November 2024 in support of Motion Ex-Parte for an order for Interlocutory Injunction:

AND UPON HEARING the submission of ALEXANDER OWUSU JUNIOR ESQ., Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Respondent, their Executives Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees and other Persons are restrained from further continuation of their strike action from 7th November 2024.

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the Respondent by itself, its Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees and other Persons are to comply with the directives of the National Labour Commission dated 6th November 2024 and call off the industrial action.”
