The Trades Union Congress (TUC) of Ghana has condemned the government's directive to revoke all public sector appointments and recruitments made after December 7, 2024, describing it as unfair and harmful to young professionals.

The union described the move as heartbreaking and a serious threat to job security, particularly for young professionals entering the workforce for the first time. "We find the directive by the Chief of Staff very problematic, to say the least.
