TEWU to NLC: We won’t return to class without signed conditions of service
The Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU) has firmly rejected the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) request to suspend its ongoing strike.
TEWU, which launched an indefinite nationwide strike on Friday, September 19, 2025, is protesting the government’s prolonged delay in finalising its conditions of service. The union also accused the government of disregarding the welfare of non-teaching staff within the education sector.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, September 23, the National Chairperson of TEWU, Salamatu Mahamah Braimah, stated that the strike would continue until their demands are met.
“Until we conclude and sign the conditions of service, we will not come to class. The NLC themselves know that we went by the rules, and this is never illegal. We have given them the chronology of events. So why is NLC writing to us?” she said.
