Kumasi, June 28, GNA – The on-going strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has stalled the payment of June salaries to workers in the public universities.
This is because the accountants and finance officers are not working; consequently, salaries could not be processed.
The affected, include members of the University Teachers Association (UTAG), Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSAG), Tertiary Education Workers Union (TEWU) and the administrators themselves.
Mr Solomon Panford, President of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) branch of GAUA, said they would not call off their strike until their demands were met.
The entrenched position taken by the administrators could affect admissions into the public universities.
A break in the academic calendar appears imminent unless the Fair Wages Salaries Commission and the striking administrators find a common ground to end the impasse.
The Labour Commission, representatives of FWSC, Ministries of Education and Finance, and the Vice Chancellors of Ghana (VCG) have already held discussions on the GAUA's industrial action and it was agreed that there should be an immediate mediation process to resolve it.
