The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) is now on strike in support of improved working conditions, and FUSSAG has joined them.
“Our members are also actively involved in the strike in whatever form, shape, or direction it takes,” FUSSAG stated in a statement.
The government’s decision to pay the 2022 fuel ex-pump allowance rather than the 2021 price, as well as the payment of car maintenance and off-campus allowances, are the subjects of the UTAG strike.

Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), and Ghana Association of University Administrators are more labor unions that have joined the strike (GAUA).
The strike was supported by the Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG).
It threatened to engage in a similar industrial action and stated that it supports the UTAG strike out of “common interest.”
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has given the striking unions instructions to end their strike right away.
This decision was made by the NLC following a meeting with UTAG members on October 20, 2022.
The Commission directed as follows:
- That the parties engage fitter on the “Terms of Payment and other related matters.
- That both parties should bring to the engagement table, people with mandate to take and/or make decisions.
- That the engagement should be held in good faith
- That UTAG should call off the strike immediately
- That the parties are given two weeks to conclude their engagement on report
