Ghana: Unions representing university staff threaten to strike nationwide from Oct. 13

Event

Four unions representing teachers and other personnel at public universities have threatened to strike nationwide from Oct. 13 over working conditions. The strike will go ahead if university officials do not meet their demands. It remains unclear whether the work stoppage will be indefinite.

Related protests are possible in the vicinity of public universities and government buildings, particularly in urban centers such as Accra. Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely near any protests that materialize.
