The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike, directing its members in the Civil Service and Local Government Service to stay at home starting Monday, March 9, 2026.
In a notice dated March 5, 2026, and signed by its Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, the association said the decision was taken after unresolved issues between the union and relevant authorities.
The notice, which was addressed to the Head of Civil Service, the Head of the Local Government Service, regional secretaries of CLOGSAG and members across the country, stated that the action follows an earlier warning issued by the union about its intention to embark on an industrial action.
“As you are aware, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), on Thursday, February 19, 2026, gave notice of the intention of its members to proceed on an industrial action,” the statement said.
According to the association, the strike has become necessary because the concerns raised with the authorities remain unresolved. As a result, all staff within the Civil Service and Local Government Service have been directed to remain at home until further notice.
CLOGSAG has urged its members nationwide to fully comply with the directive while leadership continues to engage the relevant institutions to resolve the matter.
