President John Dramani Mahama has been urged by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) to reverse the order to nullify any appointments made in the public sector after December 7, 2024.
The appeal comes after Chief of Staff Julius Debrah ordered all heads of government agencies to revoke public service openings and hirings that took place after the specified date.
Joshua Ansah, the TUC Secretary-General, issued a statement on Tuesday, February 25, warning that the continued dismissal of public service appointments, particularly those of teachers and nurses who have been looking for work for years, might have disastrous repercussions.
“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.”
