‘Our members are frustrated’ – GAUA on stalled talks with government
The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) says its members are frustrated by what they describe as the lack of attention to their outstanding grievances, as their strike continues to disrupt administrative services at public universities.
The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) is expressing frustration as their strike continues to disrupt administrative services at public universities across the nation. National General Secretary Charles Jojo Aidoo stated that negotiations with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) for the past two months have yielded no significant progress on six or seven outstanding grievances.
Aidoo emphasized that GAUA is representing professionals in various capacities, including medical doctors, lawyers, chartered accountants, auditors, human resource professionals, and procurement specialists, who have been without conditions of service since 2008. The strike, which began in August, has resulted in difficulties for students at universities such as the University of Ghana and UniMAC, including challenges with course registration, accommodation, and access to online portals.
Aidoo maintains that GAUA is committed to negotiations, hoping to resolve the outstanding issues by the end of the month to end the strike and restore normal operations at the institutions.
