The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s 10% wage increase for public sector workers, insisting on a 30% raise instead.
Background
The adjustment, which is the second in less than a year, is set to take effect from March 1, 2025.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, TUC Chairman Bernard Owusu stated that the union only accepted the 10% hike on the condition that another negotiation would take place in April.
TUC’s Position
“Nobody is okay with whatever the government gave to us,” Owusu said, emphasizing that the TUC is not satisfied but had to compromise due to the current economic conditions.
He added:
“We accepted it on condition that we will be going for another negotiation around April. Once that is done, we can then add more to what we have already acquired by having this negotiation with the government.”
The union maintains that public sector workers deserve better wages, especially given the rising cost of living.
