CLOGSAG Declares Strike
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) has directed its members to proceed on an indefinite strike.
The industrial action will take effect on March 9, 2026.
“As you are aware, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) on Thursday, 19th February, 2026 gave notice of the intention of its members to proceed on an industrial action,” a statement issued on March 5 read in part.
It added, “The issues remain unresolved, and as a result, all staff of the Civil Service and Local Government Service are enjoined to stay at home with effect from Monday, 9th March, 2026 until further notice.”
This stems from the government’s failure to implement its approved conditions of service dating back to 2019, according to the CLOGSAG Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo.
At a presser on February 19, the Association expressed frustration over the delay in executing the agreed terms, despite what it said were extensive negotiations and official approval three years ago.
He stated that two separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) regarding salary structures, allowances, and other benefits from the negotiations have yet to be implemented.
The Association felt “taken for granted” and thereby deems the strike action as the appropriate means to seek a remedy.
