The National Service Authority (NSA) has clarified that National Service Personnel (NSP) deployed to institutions under the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) are not part of the ongoing nationwide strike by the union and must continue reporting to their posts.
In a release dated March 11, 2026, signed by Director-General Ruth Dela Seddoh, the NSA emphasized that NSPs are not members of CLOGSAG and are therefore not covered by the industrial action, which began on March 9, 2026.
The statement comes amid disruptions in public offices, ministries, and local government institutions following CLOGSAG’s indefinite strike over unresolved issues, including delays in implementing a negotiated salary structure and improved conditions of service dating back to agreements from as early as 2019.
“The National Service Authority (NSA) wishes to inform all National Service Personnel (NSP) currently deployed to institutions under the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) that they are not parties to the ongoing industrial action declared by the Association,” the release stated.
It noted that while the strike has affected operations in some institutions where NSPs are posted, the personnel remain distinct from unionized staff.
“Accordingly, all NSP serving in institutions under CLOGSAG are required to continue reporting to their respective places of posting and carry out their assigned duties as expected,” the NSA directed.
The authority urged affected personnel to remain committed to their national duty, support the institutions they serve, and contribute to national development.
The NSA expressed appreciation for the dedication of all NSPs across the country.
CLOGSAG’s action has led to widespread disruptions in public services since March 9, with government officials, including the Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, appealing for suspension of the strike to allow negotiations.
The National Labour Commission had earlier directed CLOGSAG to call off the planned action, citing procedural concerns under the Labour Act.
