The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has suspended its nationwide strike following a government appeal for additional 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 noted that the government requested a 14-day window to address the concerns raised by the union.
“EXECO on 17th March, 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 union directed all members to return to work by Tuesday, March 24, 2026. The statement, signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, emphasized that the suspension aims to restore public services while negotiations continue.
CLOGSAG, which represents a large portion of Ghana’s public sector workforce across ministries, departments, agencies, and local assemblies, warned that failure to reach an agreement within the two-week period could result in the resumption of the strike.
