- CLOGSAG strike halts business registration in Accra.
- Government fails to implement new salary structure despite MOU.
- Applicants left stranded and frustrated.
- Strike impacts businesses and economy.
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association Ghana (CLOGSAG) has embarked on an industrial action, leaving many applicants stranded at the Registrar General’s Department in Accra. The association is protesting the government’s failure to implement a new salary structure approved by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission over a year ago.
Despite reaching a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the government, CLOGSAG claims that the proposed salary structure has not been implemented, leading to frustration among its members. The strike has resulted in a halt in business registration and renewal services at the Registrar General’s Department. Applicants who attempted to access services at the department were turned away, with many expressing frustration and disappointment.
She explained that she had visited the department the previous day to file her annual registration but encountered issues. Upon returning the next day, she discovered that the staff were on strike. The applicant urged the government to intervene and resolve the issue, which has been ongoing for over two years.
Another applicant, who preferred to remain anonymous, expressed concern about the impact of the strike on businesses. “We are pleading with the government to intervene and resolve this issue so that businesses can continue to operate,” the applicant said.
CLOGSAG members are demanding fair compensation and better working conditions, citing the government’s failure to honor its agreement. The association has accused the government of neglecting its responsibilities, leaving them with no choice but to embark on an industrial action.
The strike has caused inconvenience to many businesses and individuals who rely on the services of the Registrar General’s Department. The department is responsible for registering and renewing businesses, as well as providing other essential services.
The government has been urged to take immediate action to address the concerns of CLOGSAG members and resolve the issue. The strike has highlighted the need for better communication and negotiation between the government and public sector unions.
The industrial action by CLOGSAG has also raised concerns about the impact on the economy, as businesses are unable to access essential services. The government must prioritize resolving this issue to avoid further disruption to businesses and the economy.
