GAUA members have expressed frustration over the continuation of their strike, as administrative services at public universities remain disrupted due to unresolved grievances. Charles Jojo Aidoo, National General Secretary of GAUA, stated that the association has been negotiating with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) for approximately two months, yet significant progress has not been achieved.
Aidoo revealed that GAUA has several grievances, but none have been addressed. He emphasized the frustration among members, stating, "We are all frustrated that we are not getting the attention we expect." The strike, initiated in August, stems from failed negotiations over the payment of approved allowances and disparities in allowances and conditions of service for university administrators.
The ongoing strike has adversely affected universities such as the University of Ghana and UniMAC, causing issues like delayed course registration, accommodation problems, and access complications to the online portal. Aidoo highlighted the long-standing issue of GAUA not having established conditions of service since 2008, emphasizing their repeated attempts to address this matter without success.
The association remains committed to ongoing negotiations, hoping to resolve the outstanding issues by the end of the month to end the strike.
