The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), have lamented over the delay of salaries for the month of February.
They further stated that any delay in the payment of their salaries of its members will burden their financial responsibilities.
According to the President of NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu, the government is yet to pay salaries for the month of February.
This is because the government is expected to pay February salaries by the 25th of the month. Therefore there is a bit of anxiety among many public sector workers as the month has elapsed without any payments made and the government also struggling with its finances.
At a media call in Accra today on Tuesday, the President of NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu, questioned the delay in the payment of salaries and the need for government to remedy the situation.
‘“We would have expected that even without prompting from the leadership of the various workers’ unions, the government itself would have initiated some great news to lessen the effect of this economic hardship on the Ghanaian worker, especially when there have not been any upward adjustments.”
Defending why the unions boycotted the labour conference despite an invitation from the government, Angel Carbonu noted that the forum was not the appropriate platform to address the myriad of unresolved issues they have tabled before the government.
“We do not see the need to attend a Labour conference that does not alleviate our plight in any way.”
