In an attempt to end the current strike, the administration will meet with the Civil and Local Administration Staff Association (CLOGSAG) leadership on Thursday, February 27 for a negotiation meeting.
The association is requesting that Samuel Adom Botchway, the new Births and Deaths Registrar, have his appointment revoked due to his purported partisanship.
The Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Unemployment called on CLOGSAG to cancel the strike before the scheduled meeting, outlining the reasons in a letter.
Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG Isaac Bampoe Addo told Citi News that the meeting’s decision would determine the association’s next course of action.
“We have received some correspondence from the Minister for Labour, Jobs, and Employment. They are requesting us to come and have a meeting with them on Thursday, February 27.”
“‘And they are also requesting if it is possible to suspend the strike, but as we have always said, the strike action was called by the National Executive Council of CLOGSAG, and they are the only body that can call it off.”
“And then number two, this neutrality that you are preaching, our members have been dismissed for violating it and doing politics, so it is only fair as a start for this discussion; we think Mr. Botchway should not be there.”
