Story by Fada Amakye

Mr. Benjamin Nkumsah, TEWU Chairman at the University of Ghana, Legon, has issued a pressing appeal to the government to prioritize the payment and conditions of service for non-teaching staff. Nkumsah emphasizes that a timely resolution is crucial not only for the welfare of the workers but also for the stability and effectiveness of the education sector as a whole.

The conditions of service for non-teaching staff have been a longstanding issue, with delays in negotiations and implementation causing significant hardship for the workers. Nkumsah highlights the importance of fair compensation and benefits, noting that the current impasse has left many workers feeling marginalized and overlooked. He urges the government to engage in meaningful dialogue with TEWU to address the issue promptly and find a lasting solution.

The call comes amid growing frustration among non-teaching staff, who are demanding fair treatment and recognition of their contributions to the education sector. Nkumsah’s appeal underscores the need for the government to take concrete steps toward resolving the impasse and ensuring the well-being of its workers.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to TEWU’s demands. However, one thing is clear: the resolution of this issue is essential for the stability and quality of education in Ghana. The government must prioritize the welfare of its workers and take decisive action to address their concerns.

In light of this, Nkumsah’s appeal serves as a reminder of the importance of fair labor practices and the need for constructive dialogue between the government and workers’ unions. By working together, it is possible to find a solution that benefits all parties involved and ensures the continuity and quality of education in Ghana.
