The National Labour Commission (NLC) has obtained an interlocutory injunction to halt the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
CETAG had been on strike since Friday, June 14, 2024, protesting the government’s delay in implementing the arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
Despite the NLC’s order to call off the strike on June 20, CETAG defied the directive, leading to a hearing where the commission announced its decision to sue the government to enforce its arbitral award orders in favour of CETAG.
The NLC’s injunction now restrains CETAG from continuing the strike.
Amongst other things, NLC is praying the court to restrain CETAG’s Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees or other persons from further embarking on their strike action
“Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein shall pray this Honourable Court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the Respondent herein, whether by Itself, Its Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees or other persons from further embarking on their strike action which they commenced from 14th June 2024.”
The Commission is seeking an order to compel CETAG to comply with its directive, dated June 21, 2024, and call off the strike action.
“AND FOR an order compelling the Respondent herein, whether by Itself, the Executives, Officers, Members, Agents, Servants, Employees or other persons to comply with the Directive of the National Labour Commission dated 2Is1 June, 2024 to call off the strike action upon grounds contained in the accompanying affidavit and for any further orders as this Honourable Court may deem fit.”
The Court will be moved on Thursday, July 18, for a hearing.
