Some members of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), identifying as the “Silent Majority,” have issued a three-day ultimatum to the association’s national leadership, demanding an immediate end to the ongoing strike.
These aggrieved members contend that there is no justification for the strike, particularly after Organised Labour recently called off its action following government assurances to address the issue of illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
During a press conference on October 15, the internal dissent within UTAG became evident, reflecting growing frustration among some members over the continuation of the industrial action.
Professor Isaac Boadi, a senior academic and spokesperson for the group, urged UTAG’s leadership to reassess the situation and adopt a more strategic approach in negotiations with the government. He further suggested forming a team to monitor the implementation of the government’s roadmap to address the galamsey issue.
Previously, Organised Labour had announced plans for industrial action but rescinded them after receiving assurances from the government that the relevant issues would be promptly addressed.
