Event Summary

The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike starting March 9, 2026, directing its members in the Civil Service and Local Government Service to stay at home. This action, signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, stems from the government's failure to implement a unique salary structure and improved conditions of service, despite negotiations dating back to 2019 and two signed Memoranda of Understanding. The government had initially agreed to implement the structure by January 1, 2023, then revised the deadline to January 1, 2025, both of which passed without action. Despite interventions from the Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo, CLOGSAG remained firm. The strike is expected to significantly disrupt public administration across Ghana.
