Workers of the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) have expressed deep dissatisfaction over what they describe as an unjustified delay in the implementation of their agreed conditions of service, years after a deal was reached with management.
According to the workers, despite enduring challenging and sometimes dangerous working conditions, management has failed to honor commitments made to improve their welfare.
Divisional Chairman of the Public Services Workers’ Union, Pastin Ahenkan Egyiri, speaking on behalf of the aggrieved staff, vowed to take all necessary steps to ensure the full enforcement of the agreement.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
The frustrations of the GMet workers echo wider unrest across the public sector.
Recently, the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) embarked on a nationwide strike over similar concerns about unfulfilled conditions of service.
Although that strike has been suspended and nurses have returned to work, the disruption significantly impacted healthcare delivery and sparked national concern over the government’s commitment to public sector welfare.
