Speaking in an interview with JoyNews, the minister said he has been engaging both the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the leadership of CLOGSAG to better understand the issues behind the strike. He added that discussions with the Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, had produced a firm commitment to resolve the matter. Pelpuo admitted that communication between the National Labour Commission, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and CLOGSAG broke down before the strike began, leaving the institutions unable to engage the union in time. Meanwhile, CLOGSAG’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, said a one-hour meeting with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission on March 9 ended without an agreement. Pelpuo, however, urged the union to trust the government’s assurances and suspend the strike while talks continue.
