During the period to end military rule in the 1970s it was UTAG that led the way. Eventually the military succumbed.
The government should also send qualified military personnel to teach our kids whilst the university teachers are on holidays.
Another group if blackmailing teachers. After receiving fat allowances from government this is your appreciation. Hasn't the government initiated moves to withdraw the LO that allows mining in the forest?
This is tangible proof that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! POWER IS NOT KNOWLEDGE INDEED! TUC and the other Labour unions are simply useless and clueless and corrupt. God abundantly bless UTAG as they embark on this noble national missi ...

I you give power to the one who failed in power and continues to fail in opposition, why do you thing he will succeed. History repeats itself because of short memory and hate speech.
Gyampo fa wo to be gye marks a pure NDC lecturer. Mahama will never be president. You may leave the classroom when Mahama looses who cares
@ Lobby, Mahama may never become president again... That's not the point. There is a national crisis which requires drastic measures to be taken. This is a step in that right direction.
Well done UTAG
Most lecturers are sponsoring galamsay and small scale mining wen they make such noises they are given fat consultancy by the large mining companies

These Togolese Ayigbes do not want anything good for Ghana. Their allegiance is to Togo their ancestral home. The strike by university teachers led by NDC's Gyampo will not change the outcome of the elections.
Are the intentions of UTAH actually based on love for mother Ghana if politically motivated? If so why now? The timing is indeed questionable. Well we hope these concerned citizens will put the interest and well being of the ...

My brother, leadership is cause, everything else is effect. Let's put the blame squarely where it belongs - leadership! That's is why the Caucasians have evolved faster.
And you think that's enough?
This Vote shows that there are about 22% Idiotic fools parading as lectures and must be fishes out. Kudos to the 78% intelligent and wise UTAG lectures....
Go and fish them out yourself. The majority cannot always be right! We hope this strike would cause the immediate end to illegal mining. Was our late former president not a university teacher? Why could he not stop completely ...

As intellectuals as they claimed to be, what remedial measures have they put on the table.
Nonsense

What remedial measures have you yourselves taken to train your nieces well at home?
This is stupid measures

@ Veey
Hahaahaaa she is now a qualified Civil Engineer in Texas making good monies.Ghana would have destroyed her forcing her not to reach her full potential.Ghana has been destroyed by our leaders including UTAG.
She could not defend her 1st class. She was just offering sex for the grades. Idiot. Some of u have dust in your brains.
This is a blatant lie!
Probably, you're the only Ghanaian who lives in the US. What Kwaku Ananse story is this?

Misuse of statistics. 2,135 represents only 8 percent of the UTAG population, who voted to embark on the strike.
What happened to the other idiots who refused to vote? Did someone cut off their thumbs?
Hope the UTAG members don't expect to be paid while they are on strike. Government should suspend their salaries during the strike.
Why did you not ask government to suspend their salary the last time UTAG was on strike because of unpaid research allowance. It is a shame that idiots like you because of politics talk as if you faeces in your head. May be y ...

Our universities are not even relevant again.UTAG shd be concerned about their output which do not meet the requirements of our industries. Bogus antiquated lectures which cannot solve societal problems
Abuse of power!! Every association has become a political tool. This is a strike that affects students, were they consulted? Can’t wait to see the court action that will soon be invoked. Political tools!!
Go to court tomorrow. Idiot.
UTAG is now the conscience of the nation. We are proud of you.
Lazy fools, political bigots at the end of the month go to strike department to collect your salaries. The government should let you remain in your strike and find patriotic Ghanaians to teach our children. Go sit down somewh ...

UTAG members must not be paid. We are sick and tired of UTAG members using strike action to destroy the future of our children in the Universities. UTAG members must be bold enough not to collect their salaries. The sad thing ...

Even an idiot like you believe nobody can manipulate you.
You are going on strike to disrupt the academic calendar for something that the organized labour has called off the nation wide strike? Think about your students too.
You must be the most silly sheep among the rest. So galamsey should kill the students isn't it.
Wo ye gyimi ni paa. Must you go about insulting all the time? Civilized people don't do things without thinking about it consequences on innocent students. Why must students suffer for something that they have no hands in.
@ Truth, U figure say all UTAC members are mdc supporters abi?,shallow minds try and appreciate the beauty of nature which the Almighty God in his wisdom has created and stop seeing every nonsense in political lenses.
This strike will have no impact. The students are already at home until January 25 Gyampo is desperate.
AKUFO ADDO should show good faith and embarrass those he thinks are striking for political reasons.

Let kofi Jumah speak on his weak authority and nonsense to dismiss GIHOC workers who will join any industrial strike action on galamsey,GIHOC is Nkrumah initiative not under NPP authority,"foolish stop"
UTAG IS BOUGHT BY JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND NDC TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK FOR THEM.
UTAG IS NOW BEING CONTROLLED BY NDC.
UTAG WHY NOW, WHY NO STRIKE IN 2012 TO 2016????
UTAG IS NOW NDC.
GO TO HELL.
NO WORK NO PAY.
UTAG SHOULD NOT BE PAID IF THEY GO ON STRIKE.
NO CONTRIBUTION NO CHOP.
NDC WILL REMAIN IN OPPOSITION, PERIOD.
It is interesting to know that we still have too many idiots in this country. God save us.
SEREBOUR OF TUC AND HIS ASSOCIATES HAVE BEEN PAID MILLIONS OF AKUFFO ADDO STOLLEN MONEY TO SUSPEND STRIKE. MAY SEREBOUR DIE WHEN HE USES CONTAMINATED GALAMSEY WATER EITHER TO TAKE HIS BATH OR COOK

These are the men of our land. We salute you UTAG. You have stood up and you will be counted. The fight against galamsay is a fight of the conscience and only right minded individuals will fight.
UTAG MEMBERS SHOULDN'T BE PAID IF THEY GO ON STRIKE.
NO CONTRIBUTION NO CHOP.
TIT FOR TAT IS NOT A SIN
Thank God, at least we have one organisation that can stand as the moral conscience of society. As for the so called leaders of Organise Labour the least said about them the better.
It would have been bad if UTAG, the library of knowledge in the country, had also kept mute over the evil and dangers of galamsey. I wish they had bared their teeth earlier but it's always better late than never.

Thank you UTAG. At least you have shown the difference between intellectuals and the others. You have our 100% support.
Government must be bold not to pay any salaries to members of UTAG for the number of days they stay out of work
I think the students must start beating and chasing the UTAG members because they are just punishing the students for something they don’t have any knowledge about… RISE UP university students!!!
@Daniel Asante, your suggestion is very stupid, I believe the students drink and use engine oil to cook and for that matter do not need clean healthy water. Stupidity on High Heels.

Why is UTAG headed by STUPID people with names like AKUDUGU; & MUMUNI: CARBONU
Nobody expected anything good from this “GROUP WITH ITS HEAD OF A RAPIST CALLED JAMPO”. ANYWAY THEY SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT THEY WILL LOOSE THEIR MONTHLY AS LONG AS THEY REMAIN AT HOME.
The "sex for grade" Professor and his irresponsible UTAG who think they know all should go ahead and declare the ban. I will surely laugh at them if they don't do this within 48 hours!!
