Members of the Public Service Workers Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) have declared a strike starting Tuesday, July 19, 2022.
The declaration is contained in a press statement released on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
The statement signed by General Secretary, Bernard Adjei, cites the rising unbearable hardships, rising inflation and erosion in the value of the take-home pay as factors that will see the over 27,000 workers stay at home.
“The over 27,000 workers within the over 65 public sector institutions that make up the PSWU feel the economic crunch in their pockets, with each passing day resulting in uncertainties of meeting basic needs. Obviously, a possible return to the IMF further complicates the economic uncertainties faced by public sector workers and flashes back memories of harsh labour policies that disadvantage the ordinary worker,” the statement said.
