The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called on President John Dramani Mahama to revoke the directive to annul all public sector appointments made after December 7, 2024.
The appeal follows a directive issued by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, instructing all heads of government institutions to cancel public service appointments and recruitments made after the said date.
In a statement released on Tuesday, February 25, the Secretary-General of the TUC, Joshua Ansah, warned that the ongoing termination of appointments in the public service, including teachers and nurses who have waited years for employment, could have devastating consequences.
“The mass termination of employment of teachers, nurses, and others, who have been educated at great cost to their families and the nation and who may have stayed at home for years struggling to obtain employment can be devastating for these young men and women. It is a blot on our democratic credentials. It can also completely sap the patriotism of these young men and women.”
