The Teachers and Educational Workers' Union of Ghana (TEWU-GH) has questioned the legitimacy of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission's (GTEC) decision to recognise the Teachers and Educational Workers' Union (TEWU-TUC) as the official representative of non-teaching staff on university governing councils, arguing that TEWU-TUC has no members in some public universities.

This follows GTEC's declaring TEWU-TUC as the rightful body to represent workers on the Governing Councils of Public Traditional Universities across the country.

Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on Tuesday, June 24, the National Chairman of TEWU-GH, Sulemana Abdul Rahaman, noted that the move defies logic and undermines democratic labour representation, given that TEWU-TUC lacks membership in institutions it is now expected to represent.

He cited the situation at UDS, where TEWU-GH has 553 members while TEWU-TUC counts 14 members, to underscore what he described as a disregard for numerical representation in the decision-making process.
