Market premiums delay: NLC tells UG to address staff concerns
NLC admonishes University of Ghana to engage TEWU, Senior Staff Association on unpaid market premiums but what will the outcome of such a call?
University of Ghana (UG) administration has been scolded by the National Labour Commission (NLC) for failing to resolve outstanding market premium arrears owed by members.
The NLC has requested that UG engage in discussions with its Senior Staff Association and Teachers’ and Educational Workers’ Union to resolve this matter.
The delinquencies cover the years 2010 through 2018. Therefore, in the event that management does not pay the interim market premium that is owed to them, the groups have threatened to lay down their tools.
Nevertheless, payment is supposedly already underway from management.
As part of an interview with Citi FM, a radio station in Accra, Mr. Isaac Donkor, president of the Senior Staff Association, announced that the engagement would commence on Thursday, December 14, 2023.
Meeting attendance by management is a key indicator of whether or not the strategy to pay down the debt is being implemented, he said.

We will talk about the percentage of the six years they are ready to pay and when they intend to pay it. Therefore, our members are also prepared to get updates from us while we wait. The involvement with the NLC will have the support of the leadership if the members are on board with it. Nevertheless, we will go on strike if the members feel uneasy about the engagement.
