The Executive Secretary of the National Labour Commission (NLC), Bernice Welbeck, has confirmed that another meeting has been arranged for March 18, 2026 following the boycott of a meeting with the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, over their strike action.

The Commission had directed the striking group to suspend the industrial action and appear before it to address their concerns.

However, reports indicated that the leadership of the association failed to attend the scheduled meeting.

During an interview TV3 on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Welbeck, said another meeting has been scheduled to address the matter.

Welbeck further explained that because the association did not show up and had continued with the strike, the Commission could not proceed to address the substantive issues raised by the workers.

“Because they didn’t appear and they are still on strike, you know, when a party is on strike or has instituted an industrial action, the substantive matter cannot be heard,” she said.

She added that the Commission had already declared the strike illegal and had asked the association to call off the action immediately.

“The first one [strike they embarked on] constituted an illegality. Now, the declaration has been made, and the ruling [establishes] that the action that they’ve taken is illegal. So, we are moving step by step,” she said.

Welbeck indicated that the leadership of CLOGSAG had been asked to call off the strike and appear before the Commission next week.

“So, they’ve been asked to call it off immediately and appear next week, Wednesday, March 18, 2026,” she said.
