THE SILENCE OF THE TEACHER UNIONS ON THE PRESSER BY CAGD WITH RESPECT TO THE DEDUCTIONS ON TEACHERS’ NOVEMBER SALARY IS DEAFENING.
It is so sad that, Teacher Unions particularly GNAT, NAGRAT, CCT are dead silent on the press release by The Controller and Accountant General’s Department.
It is particularly sad because, the stance of the Teacher Unions in recent times, begs the question of whose interest they represent ie. the dues paying members of these unions or government? Consider the following;
1. These Union Leaders have sat at a round table with government to procure alien laptops (which they won’t buy for their primary school children) for their dues paying members at mind boggling price, at a time Rwanda has procured top class laptops for her teachers at no cost of the teacher.
2. Leadership of CCT came out to tell their members if anyone felt differently about the procured laptops and would not take them, they might as well leave the teaching field (what a shame!).

3. Per the presser, GES has asked for 100.00 to be deducted for the license which same amount was deducted for just a year ago and is renewable in three (3) years time. Is that the norm? For some of us hold other licenses which we pay money only for its renewal.
4. The presser by CAGD says government and union leaders have officially communicated to them (CAGD) to effect a 30% deduction of GHC 509.55 for the laptops which are yet to be received.
What makes this part particularly infuriating is that, as it stands, no one has communicated to teachers, which timelines specifically, these alien laptops will be received so that, if they are not received appropriate actions in whatever form can be taken against whoever is responsible. (if that is possible at all in this Ghana)

So, GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT in particular, which peoples’ interest do you really represent, your members whose dues pay you or government?
Agitations in labour are expected but, woe to the piper who plays a tune different than the one the payer calls.
A CONCERNED TEACHER.
