In relation to recent demand of cost of living allowance from the government,President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has finally directed the government team to negotiate with organized labour to reach an amicable solution over it.
More than 10 labour unions including four teacher unions, the Ghana Medical Association, and the Public Services Workers union have demanded a 20% cost of living allowance to cushion them amidst the current economic conditions.
At least 3 attempted negotiations with teacher unions who are already on strike have ended inconclusively.

Government’s effort to get the four teacher unions on strike over the Cost of Living Allowance to return to the classroom failed, as a meeting with them ended in a disarray.
In the last Tuesday meeting, the government asked the leadership of the unions to call off their strike before negotiations could begin, but the teachers remained determined in their actions and subsequently staged a walkout.
