TUC calls a halt to the walkout

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has changed its mind on going on statewide strike beginning on December 27, 2022.

The union wanted to use the planned walkout to express its opposition to earlier government intentions to incorporate pension money in the debt exchange program.

The union has additionally advised the government against making any additional preparations in that direction.

The planned industrial action followed a one-week ultimatum given by Organised Labour for the government to ditch its decision to rope in pension funds in the debt exchange programme.

However, following the government’s decision to exclude pension funds from the programme, the Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr Yaw Baah, at a news conference, said the planned industrial action was effectively cancelled.
