Professor Charles Marfo, national president of UTAG said his members will only return to work unless their demands are met.
He said that the salaries of lecturers in public universities across the country have been worse off following the government's failure to implement what they agreed with the government in 2012.
Professor Marfo added that the current entry-level salary of a lecturer is basic premiums of $997.84 which is less than Ghc2000 while a professor earns less than Ghc5000 monthly.
The 2012 conditions of service which the association is asking to be implemented will peg the Basic plus Market Premium of a lecturer at $2,084.42.
