The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has suspended its nationwide strike following an appeal from the government for more time to negotiate salaries and conditions of service.
In a statement issued on March 17, the association said its National Executive Committee (EXECO) agreed to halt the industrial action for two weeks to allow for an amicable resolution of the dispute.
The strike, which disrupted civil and local government services across the country, was triggered by disagreements over salary structures and other conditions of service for members.
CLOGSAG explained that the government had requested a 14-day window to address the concerns raised by the union.
“EXECO on March 17, 2026, reviewed the appeal by Government to call off the nationwide strike action and allow Government fourteen (14) days to reach an amicable resolution of the issues with the salary structure and conditions of service of members of CLOGSAG,” the statement said.
Following deliberations, the association directed all members to resume work by Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
The statement, signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, noted that the decision to suspend the strike is intended to restore public services while negotiations continue.
CLOGSAG, which represents a significant portion of Ghana’s public sector workforce across ministries, departments, agencies and local assemblies, cautioned that failure to reach an agreement within the two-week period could lead to the resumption of the strike.
