The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced that it will embark on a strike effective Thursday, April 21, 2022.
According to the association, they are forced to embark on the industrial action as a result of government’s failure to pay neutrality allowances owed to members.
