The staff of the National Identification Authority (NIA) have cautioned the Government of Ghana to heed their concerns and improve upon their conditions of service to avert any future industrial action.
The staff are hopeful as they prepare to meet with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) on June 14 to discuss their conditions of service, following a three day strike action.
The meeting with FWSC comes after a 3-daystrike was halted the National Labour Commission to allow for negotiations to continue. The strike had significantly impacted NIA operations, leaving many individuals seeking services unable to access them.
According to Kwabena Adu Kyeremeh, the secretary of the NIA staff union, if today’s meeting does not yield satisfactory results, they may resort to another strike.
In an interview with Citi News, the secretary of the NIA staff, Kwabena Adu Kyeremeh, indicated that they might declare another strike if today’s meeting does not yield conclusive results.
“We are expecting the government to come home with a very good offer. Then we will also accept it in the interest of Mother Ghana. And they [the aggrieved staff] have also indicated to the general public that if today, they are not successful, they will declare the strike on our behalf.”
