The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has warned all public servants on strike to rescind their decision or have deductions made in their salaries for the number of days they strike.
The warning follows a number of strikes by public servants in recent times to demand improvement in conditions of services.
The Government Hospitals and Pharmacists Association is the latest group to strike.
The Director in charge of Grievance Negotiations at the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Cornelius Yawson, told Citi News his outfit will only engage the striking pharmacists if they return to post.
“We will refuse to dialogue with the pharmacists as long as they are on strike,” Mr. Yawson said. “We want to discourage that habit where people think they can go on strike and receive whatever they want.”
He said the 75% Market Premium demanded by the pharmacists is untenable.
Mr. Yawson added that FWSC had decided that any group of public servants who decided to strike would have to pay its members from its union dues per the number of days. **
