The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has expressed dissatisfaction over the 10 percent wage hike for public sector workers, maintaining its calls for a 30 percent increase.

The adjustment which marks the second in less than a year is expected to take effect on March 1, 2025.

Speaking during an interview on the Channel One Newsroom, Chairman of the TUC, Bernard Owusu said the TUC accepted the new wage adjustment due to a pending negotiation with the government in April this year.

“Nobody is okay with whatever the government gave to us. We accepted it on condition that we will be going for another negotiation around April and once that is done, we can then add more to what we have already acquired by having this negotiation with government.

“So, nobody is happy about that because we could have gotten more but this is what the government is saying that yes we can give you ten percent because of the conditions that we came to meet.”
