The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has taken a swipe at the leadership of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Public Services Workers Union (PSWU) for remaining silent following the dismissal of some public sector workers by the new government.
According to reports, several public sector workers whose employment had been confirmed by the Public Services Commission have had their contracts terminated by the administration of President John Mahama, which took office on January 7, 2025.
The decision has sparked public outcry, with critics arguing that such terminations set a troubling precedent.
Speaking in an interview on Asaasepa Radio, Justin Frimpong Kodua expressed disappointment in the TUC and PSWU for failing to defend the affected workers. "TUC should be very careful, and the Public Services Workers Union should also be careful," Kodua warned. "The NDC, by this precedent, wants us to believe that no public sector worker has job security.
