Worker unions at the C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences in the Upper East Region and other two newly created universities are threatening to embark on an industrial action if the government does not rescind its decision on migrating them onto the Controller and Accountant General Department payroll system.
The other two universities are the S.D. Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies in Wa and the University of Environment and Sustainable Development, Somanya.
According to the unions of the affected universities, the migration if forcefully implemented will result in the reduction of their salaries and allowances leaving out their counterparts in other universities.
