The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has requested the Tripartite Committee negotiating for a national minimum wage to come out with a wage fixed at the existing inflation rate.
Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Joy FM, The National President of NAGRAT, Mr. Angel Carbonu, said everywhere in the world, minimum wages are pegged to inflation rates.
“How do you expect workers to survive when the price of everything has doubled in the last couple of months?” he questioned.
According to Mr. Carbonu, even the cost of government services has skyrocketed.
“So, how are workers expected to survive in the wake of these increments and rising inflation leading to price hikes?”
Mr. Carbonu said NAGRAT is demanding a 19 percent increase in the yet-to-be-announced minimum wage to address workers’ challenges during these times.
