TEWU suspends strike after talks with FWSC

The Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has suspended its indefinite strike action, which began on September 19, 2025, following positive engagements with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and other stakeholders.

The industrial action, which involved non-teaching staff of the Ghana Education Service, public and technical universities, the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board, and the Ghana Library Authority, had disrupted operations across the education sector for nearly two weeks.

In a statement issued in Accra on Wednesday, October 1, TEWU General Secretary King James Azortibah announced the suspension, stressing that it was not a termination of the strike but a temporary step to allow negotiations to continue.

“After a very constructive dialogue, the parties resolved to work towards an amicable solution to the concerns of the union. 

We are expected to meet FWSC on Tuesday, 7th October, 2025, to proceed with negotiations, conclude and sign the various Conditions of Service,” Mr Azortibah said.

He added, “As a result of this positive development, TEWU has decided to suspend the indefinite strike action, with effect from today… All TEWU members in the aforementioned institutions are expected to resume work by Thursday, 2nd October 2025.”

The union cautioned, however, that it would not hesitate to resume the strike if agreements reached were not honoured. 

“We emphasise that this is a suspension and not a calling-off of the strike. We hope the FWSC and employer institutions will honour their side of the agreement so that TEWU is not forced to do otherwise,” the statement warned.

TEWU also urged against reprisals on its members for participating in the strike, pledging to defend any worker who might be victimised. 

“No TEWU member or non-teaching staff should be victimised for exercising their right to strike. The union leadership will defend any member facing victimisation and unfair labour practices from their employer on this matter now or in the future,” Mr Azortibah said.

The leadership expressed appreciation to school heads, management, and stakeholders who supported their cause without intimidation. 

The union also thanked its executives and members across the country, as well as the media, for their solidarity during the nine-day strike.

“TEWU shall remain a law-abiding union and will continue to pursue better conditions for our members. We know our efforts have not been in vain. There is power in our collective action,” the statement furthered.
