All members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) are instructed to remain at home beginning on Monday, March 9, 2026, as part of a statewide strike.
The organization stated that the decision was made in response to unresolved difficulties between the union and the appropriate authorities in a notice dated March 5, 2026, and signed by its Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo.
The notice, which was sent to CLOGSAG regional secretaries, the Head of Civil Service, the Head of Local Government Service, and all association members, clarified that the directive followed the union’s earlier announcement of its intention to take industrial action.
The statement indicates that on February 19, 2026, the CLOGSAG National Executive Council (NEC) notified members that if the unresolved issues were not resolved, the organization would go forward with the strike.
The statement said, “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,”
According to CLOGSAG, all employees of the Civil Service and Local Government Service are to stay at home starting on March 9 and continuing until further notice because the concerns are still unresolved.
While it continues to work with the authorities to address the issues presented, the group called on its members across the country to completely comply with the instruction.
Situation
The association claims that the implementation of a special pay structure and other terms of service for civil and municipal government employees has been delayed for a long time, which is why the strike is scheduled.
CLOGSAG stated at a meeting of its National Executive Council on February 19, 2026, that government representatives had consistently ignored reminders from the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Employment.
The group pointed out that promises to implement the new pay structure, which was supposed to start on January 1, 2025, had not yet been kept.
The NEC stated that two different Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) that were signed with government authorities back in 2019 have not yet been put into effect.
The goal of the industrial action, according to CLOGSAG, is to push for the agreements’ implementation and better working conditions for its members.
