The National Labour Commission (NLC) has successfully obtained an interlocutory injunction to halt the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
CETAG initiated the strike on Friday, June 14, 2024, to express dissatisfaction with the government’s delay in implementing an arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
Despite the NLC’s instruction on June 20 to cease the strike, CETAG persisted, prompting a hearing where the Commission disclosed its intentions to take legal action against the government to enforce the arbitral award in favour of CETAG.
The injunction now legally prohibits CETAG from continuing the strike.
The NLC is seeking the court’s intervention to prevent CETAG’s executives, officers, members, agents, servants, employees, and any other individuals from prolonging the strike action.
The Commission is also seeking an order to compel CETAG to heed its directive issued on June 21, 2024, to bring an end to the strike.
A scheduled hearing has been set for Thursday, July 18, to address the matter.
