According to the Physician Assistants, they have tried all they can to get the appropriate stakeholders to facilitate their migration but to no avail.
They mentioned the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), the Vice Chancellors of Ghana (VCG) and the National Labour Commission (NLC) as the main stakeholders they have been engaging to get their matter resolved.

The leader of the PAs, Emmanuel Adjei Henaku says they feel left out because even though they notified the appropriate stakeholders in 2012 nothing has been done about it. He also said they have held series of meetings which have all come to nothing.
Henaku described the treatment being meted to them as a form of "humiliation and demotion, after working for them for several years."
According to Mr Henaku, this treatment informed their decision to embark on a sit-down strike come Monday, August 1.
