Accra, June 21, GNA – Two local Trade Unions have at a meeting in Accra on Tuesday expressed dissatisfaction at the way their employers, the Vice Chancellors Ghana (VCG), were handling their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS).
The Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Federation of Universities Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG), made this known in a resolution sent to the Executive Secretary of the VCG by Mr. Dan Ayim Antwi, General Secretary of the TEWU.
The unions said the resolution followed the 93persistent failure of the VCG to respond to invitation by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to deliberate on issues pertaining to migration of TEWU-FUSSAG members onto the SSSS”.
The resolution said FWSC and VCG should do every thing possible to ensure that TEWU-FUSSAG members are migrated onto the SSS in July, 2011, as agreed upon at a meeting convened by the Ministry of Education on March 16, 2011.
It said the meeting was attended by FWSC-VCG, University Teachers Association of Ghana, Ghana Association of Universities Administrators, TEWU and FUSSAG. The unions threatened that if at the end of July, 2011, 93our members have not been migrated onto the SSSS and paid salaries in that respect, we deem it possible to advise ourselves”.
