Scholar-activist, Prof. Stephen Kwaku Asare has called on UTAG to directs some its rage on the leaders who serve on the committee to mediate on their behalf.
The Association declared a strike on August 2, 2021, to protest the conditions of service of it’s members.
Utag was hauled to court by the National Labour Commission over the matter, but the case was withdrawn from court to allow for an out-of-court settlement.
Following UTAG decision to put the industrial strike action on hold and completely call it off after successful negotiation with government.
In a post on Facebook, Prof Azar remarked, “Most of the juicy perks and privileges enjoyed by Article 71 office holders have been recommended by Committees chaired by UTAG members, including Professors Ntiamoah Baidu, Edu Buandoh, Ewurama Addy, and Greenstreet.
Contending, “UTAG must direct some of its anger of the neutral Article 71 to its members who serve on these Committees and who make these juicy recommendations”.
UTAG suspended its two-week-old strike on Wednesday, August 18 and also consented to return to the negotiation table.
Meanwhile, Both government and UTAG has resolved to discontinue the legal processes concerning the long-winded strike and gave themselves a one-month timeline to resolve all notable issues.
