Workers at the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) have voiced strong dissatisfaction with the delay in implementing their agreed conditions of service, despite a deal being reached with management years ago.

The employees, who face challenging and dangerous working conditions, say management has failed to uphold promises made to improve their welfare.

Divisional Chairman of the Public Services Workers’ Union, Pastin Ahenkan Egyiri, speaking on behalf of the aggrieved staff, warned that they would take all necessary actions to ensure the agreement is honored.
“Our members work in very tough environments—some get caught in rainstorms while on duty, and others even risk snake bites in remote areas. Despite all this, we remain committed to providing accurate meteorological services to the public."

“But just two months ago, we observed that management was not forthcoming with any updates, and we cannot sit aloof and allow this to continue," he said.

The discontent among GMet workers reflects a wider pattern of unrest in the public sector.

Recently, the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) held a nationwide strike over similar concerns regarding unfulfilled service conditions. Although the strike has been suspended, it disrupted healthcare services and raised concerns about the government’s commitment to addressing public sector grievances.
