TEWU expressed disappointment in the handling of the negotiation process by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission regarding the payment of the allowance.

During a meeting held by the TEWU of TUC (GH) Management Committee on July 26, 2023, a resolution was reached, stating that the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission must finalize the negotiation for the allowance’s payment by November 2023, with a deadline set for August 7, 2023.

The release further highlighted that if the Commission fails to meet the negotiation deadline by August 7, 2023, the Union’s leadership should not be held accountable for any actions taken by disgruntled members of the Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union of TUC (GH).
