The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has expressed dissatisfaction with the 10% wage increase for public sector workers, insisting on a 30% adjustment. This marks the second increment in less than a year and is set to take effect on March 1, 2025.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, TUC Chairman Bernard Owusu stated that the union accepted the new wage adjustment due to an upcoming negotiation with the government in April 2025.
“Nobody is okay with whatever the government gave to us. We accepted it on condition that we will be going for another negotiation around April and once that is done, we can then add more to what we have already acquired by having this negotiation with government.
“So nobody is happy about that because we could have gotten more but this is what the government is saying that yes we can give you ten percent because of the conditions that we came to meet.”
