The Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) has threatened to embark on an industrial strike action if government fails to sign and implement the conditions of service document its leadership has presented.

This was said by the National Chairman of the Association, Dr. Micheal Akurugu Brigandi at a press conference held in Tamale.

 “Government must sign and implement the conditions of service document presented by TUTAG with the urgency it deserves” he said.

He added that any further delay by the National Council for Tertiary Education and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission has the tendency of jeopardizing efforts at calming down the nerves of its members.

Dr. Brigandi also called for the migration of the Wa and Bolgatanga technical universities onto the Public University Salary Structure.

On the payment of research arrears due members, Dr. Brigandi said though government has increased the research allowance by 100 percent in the 2018/2019 academic year, TUTAG members are yet to receive any payments.

He warned that TUTAG will go all length including a strike action in pressing home these demands.

He also advised all political parties to be committed to peaceful and a violence-free electioneering process.

“All political parties are hereby enjoined to act in a manner that promotes peace” he added.
