The Labour Division of Accra High Court has finally granted an induction against the strike action by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG).
This comes after the National Labour Commission filled an appeal for an interlocutory injunction to suspend the strike action by the UTAG.
The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has been on strike since January 10th, 2022 in demand of better conditions of service.
The NLC dragged UTAG to Court on two solid occasions in an attempt to have UTAG call off its strike but the court in this two occasions ordered both parties to settle the issue outside the court.
During proceedings on Tuesday, February 15, the NLC’s legal team appealed to the court for an interlocutory injunction against the action by UTAG before the hearing of its substantive case seeking enforcement of its order to UTAG to call off its industrial action.
In the court ruling, His Lordship Rockson Aboadwe said the negotiations between both parties would not yield the needed results if the strike persists and thus granted the injunction.
Proceedings have thus been adjourned to February 22, 2022, at 1:30pm.
