Members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) are scheduled to begin an indefinite nationwide strike today, Monday, March 9, 2026.
The industrial action is in response to what the association terms as ongoing delays in the implementation of their negotiated service conditions.
The strike is anticipated to interrupt operations in various ministries, departments, agencies, and local government offices across the nation, where CLOGSAG members form a significant part of the administrative staff.
The association’s leadership asserts that the strike decision comes after multiple failed efforts to negotiate with the government on the issue.
This development occurs despite a directive from the National Labour Commission ordering CLOGSAG to halt the intended strike and return to the bargaining table.
However, CLOGSAG has advised its members across the country to ignore the order and carry on with the strike, maintaining that the government has not sufficiently addressed their grievances.
In statements made prior to the action, the association’s Public Relations Officer, Edmund Aquaye, noted that the union had received no official correspondence from the government since issuing the strike notice the previous week.
“Since last Thursday, when we announced the strike, the National Executive Council of CLOGSAG has still not heard anything from our employer, and for that matter, our strike is still on. We are entreating all CLOGSAG members, wherever they are, not to go to work on March 9,” he declared.
