If POTAG thinks that teaching is just one of the other services they render why not withdraw the other ones and continue with the teaching, when it hit the salary you are going to court. Tell the govt. that no payment of the allowance no research but you have sacrifice research with teaching and want to dictate to which one govt must substitute. Very Sad

AFTER COLLECTING THESE THESE BOOK AND RESEARCH ALLOWANCES FOR YEARS, THIS MAN NEVER PRODUCED A PAMPHLET EVEN FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESSONS.

I wonder why government will sacrifice the future of over 70,000 students for some few hundred greedy teachers who are claiming what they do not deserve.
Just dismiss them and ask them to go to the various Polytechnics to reapply and go through interviews and those pass the interview taken with different conditions of service.
How can we continue with this nonsense paying people for no work done!

This is the dumbest thing POTAG wants to do. I thought POTAG's members pay union dues. If they do, whenever POTAG goes on strike, it's the duty of the union leaders to pay members from their union dues, not ask the government to pay them salaries. It surely doesn't make any sense to ask for a salary when you refuse to work by going on a strike.

If you don't work, why should you be paid? This irresponsible behaviour must stop at some point. It is time for government to flex its muscles. We the general public are with you. Show that you have the balls and the teeth to bite otherwise no one will respect authorities. Enough is enough. Labour unions have held the nation to ransom using very flimsy excuses. Tough decisions can win you admirers and votes and this is one of them. Act and show your muscles now, Government.

Is it worth going to court over the possible non payment of these allowances? Why is the Ghanaian so much obsessed with money?
I thought academics would fight for principles and not tangible things like money. Do they have enough computers in their computer labs for their students? Do they have current and adequate books in their libraries for their students? Are their lecture rooms good enough for teaching students? Do the lecture rooms have very good public address systems? Money is the least thing that should motivate a lecturer.

Ghana is a democratic country with laws. They will present their case in court, the gov't will also present its case and the court will decide. Honestly, I think POTAG will win because they are demanding what is due them by law. If the gov't had paid them as the law says, they will not be on strike. It is not what we think that matters. It is what the law says and if we do not like it, we can change the law. Last year the outgoing parliamentarians demanded their ex-gratia because the law required it and they were paid.

They should have begun by going to court to litigate the withdrawal of the book and research allowances.
As the situation stands, it is more difficult to argue that you should be paid while on strike, albeit selectively.

"POTAG has been on strike since May 15, 2014 ........ " means that over 3 months that they have stayed away from work, they still expect to be paid. Who do they expect to work and generate the funds to pay them with?
If their pay were really stopped, that is proper. And if they should go to court to challenge the justice due them, that is also good because the courts would finally tell them the truth they are running away from. Whether the strike is legal or not, is not the issue. The issue is that, you have not worked and so you must not be paid. The worker is only worth his labour because it is his labour that keeps his company (the government) in business. If he withdraws his labour and he is paid as well, it is a double loss for his company and surely the company will go bankrupt. No sane businessman will do that.
Who will not like to stay in the house and be paid? In other words, being paid your salary while on strike, is a super motivation to go on strike on any flimsy excuse like what POTAG is presently doing. POTAG has no problem with their salary but with "book and research allowance which the government has replaced with National Research Fund" and for this, they have been on strike for over 3 months without any end in sight.
If government workers can stay away from work for so long and still be paid, it is easy to collapse the national economy by multiple strikes here and there. If the national economy collapses, everybody (including the judges whom POTAG will be going for redress) will be adversely affected. Not even Judges can boycott their work and expect to be paid.
What is surprising to me is the fact that the Government is only now getting the awareness that striking workers must not paid for the time they are on strike. POTAG actually, did not deserve their salaries for May, June, July and August. Whatever claim POTAG sends to court, the Government must reply with a counterclaim to recover all the salaries they were wrongly paid.
I think the time has come for the Government to send the message clear to all those waiting to go on strike not to try it. All labour issues can be addressed satisfactorily without strikes. Strikes are becoming the fashion because of politics and this is where the Government must prove that it can govern.

If u and your immature communicators and so called education ministers think the politechnic education is not good then cancel it from our records and stop this childish behaviour of trying to isight the public against POTAG.
Did the court not rule in POTAG's favour when the NMC sued it?
The same government claims he does not owe them but the next day begging them to return to class as he wants to pay part.
Go and collect those moneys you created, looted and shared with Woyomi, Isofoton, Gyeeda etc and use them to pay our dying hard teachers and stop this shamefull decisions and threats. If we are talking about those who did not work but received salary(pay) then they are Woyomi, Isofoton and the likes and not POTAG because if u had pay them they would have been in classrooms.

Don't forget this:
1. Some members of potag voted for this government too.
2. In every society majority decision wins, but then, don't forget those potag members who voted for you and who may be in the minority.
