It is an indefinite suspension of our industrial action.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also expect the government to make the first payment as a part of their salary agreed upon this month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that it is important that there is harmony on the campuses, and it is for this reason that we should be seen in the offices very soon to serve our students in the various institutions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Solomon Nunoo continued to say that there is hardship in the country, and the government has admitted it was not fair to introduce the conditions of service without first engaging them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be recalled that UTAG began their strike on Monday, October 17, 2022, to compel the government to improve conditions of service. The unions continued with their strike despite the intervention of the National Labour Commission(NLC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
