The newly elected chairman of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Bernard Owusu, has pledged to implement radical changes to address what he describes as the current weak and unresponsive state of the organisation. Mr Owusu secured 347 votes in a decisive victory over incumbent Alex Opoku-Nyarko at the TUC's quadrennial congress held at the Pentecost Convention Centre at Kasoa in the Central Region. He pledged a transformative approach focused on safeguarding workers' rights. "The current leadership, they have done their bit but I think it is time we change and move on. The TUC as it stands today is weak and the reason being that, as TUC, there are a lot of things that are happening that I think should have been done better. Currently, we got to the negotiation table to beg.
