Teacher union strike negotiations in Ghana stall over demand for new allowance

Negotiations between Ghana's Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and pre-tertiary teacher unions have stalled. The unions are seeking the introduction of a new allowance, which the FWSC states falls outside the current transitional framework for reviewing conditions of service. The nationwide strike, which began on September 25, continues, with unions demanding verifiable evidence of payment for outstanding promotion-related salaries before returning to classrooms.
