Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has told former President John Dramani Mahama that they will ensure that whoever becomes president on January 7 2025 after the December 7 2024 general elections, meets the demands of workers.<\/b><\/p>\n

TUC says that workers have rights under the laws of Ghana and those rights must be respected.<\/p>\n

The union was replying to former President John Dramani Mahama who has indicated that he is restraining himself from making promises because the country’s coffers have been depleted by the Akufo-Addo administration.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a \u2018Campus Connect’ event in Hohoe, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer stated that Ghana is broke at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis country is broke, and, so, we will beg you that when we come into office, give us a bit of a honeymoon. Let’s put things in place so that we bring the economy back onto its feet,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I will plead with the teacher union: GNAT, NAGRAT, UTAG, and TEWU and all of them; I know all of you are clamouring for allowances.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me caution you that in 2025 when we take over, we will show you the books and the finances of this country, and when we have done that, we can accede to your demands again, and that’s why I’m being very measured in the promises that I make because we all know the crisis in which this country has been plunged,\u201d he further indicated.<\/p>\n

But responding to him in an interview on Tuesday, January 16, Deputy General Secretary of the TUC, Joshua Ansah, said \u201cLet me state that in 2025, whoever becomes president of this very country must be ready to meet workers and ensure that workers’ demands are met without any questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorkers in this country, for 66 years after independence, have suffered and sacrificed a lot and we think that anybody who wants to become the president must be ready to ensure that labor rights are not dealt with with a child’s gloves, we are going to demand what is our right or what is good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
