NSS Personnels Declares Indefinite Strike Action

NSS Personnels Declares Indefinite Strike Action.

In a press release by NAPSA in the Biakoye District in the Oti Region of Ghana, NSS personnels have declared a strike action based on non-payment of monthly allowances by government.

This and other reasons have brought about the declaration of the strike action.

Read full excerpt of the press release.



NATIONAL SERVICE PERSONNEL ASSOCIATION, BIAKOYE DISTRICT


Loc. Nkonya Wurupong P. O. BOX 40

Our Ref: NASPA/OTI/BIA/26

Date: 02/07/2024

TO: ALL NSS DIRECTORS

ALL USER AGENCIES

ALL NATIONAL SERVICE PERSONNEL

OTHER STAKEHOLDERS


NOTICE OF STRIKE ACTION.

We are disheartened to write and notify all Stakeholders of our strike action taking effect from today 2nd July, 2024 Until allowances are paid.

The following are challenges that necessitate our decision to embark on this strike action;

1. Inability to pay our accommodation and utility bills due to non payment of allowances.

2. Inability to transport ourselves to our various User Agencies regularly to meet our required number of days to be qualified for validation due to non payment of allowances.

3. Inability to feed ourselves at our various workplace.

4. Borrowing money from different sources to survive the hardship we are going through.

5. Development of health complicated issues.

We are entitled to our monthly allowance as we render mandatory service to the state. As at now the government is owing trainees five (5) months allowance and graduates from the Universities three (3) months.

According to NSS rules and regulations, Personnel who fail to report at post for three months after posting will be sanctioned, and we have been working with empty stomach and other unfriendly conditions of work for five (5) and three (3) months now without allowance.

We are also suppose to work for some required number of days to be qualified for validation for payment of allowances, and we have to always borrow money to meet this requirements. This is what we refer to as slavery, we are abused, we have been maltreated, our workforce is undermined and our service to the nation is not duly recognized.

Meanwhile, National Service Personnel have been pillars behind the success of most public and private institutions in the state. Our productivity cannot go unnoticed, many agencies understaffed are requesting for more Service Personnel, yet our efforts are not regarded important to the state.

We are a unique Workforce in the state and must be treated equally and fairly.

We therefore call on all public and private Stakeholders including Media houses, political leaders, traditional rulers to come to our aid, and also help us push for timely payment of allowances.


#PAY OUR ALLOWANCE AND ALL ARREARS NOW.

#SERVICE TO THE NATION IS NOT SLAVERY

#WE DESERVE EQUAL AND FAIR TREATMENT.

#PAY US NOW
