Dr Ken Tweneboa Kodua, Vice Chair of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), has condemned the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) for announcing electricity and water tariff increases without exhausting negotiations with organised labour.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Monday, December 8, Dr Kodua described the process as incomplete and disrespectful, revealing that the TUC had been working to establish a fair and realistic tariff structure for its members and that the decision taken by the PURC must be questioned.
He further stressed that the premature announcement of tariffs undermines the collaborative efforts between PURC and TUC, noting that such unilateral decisions could erode trust and compromise future engagement between the regulatory body and organised labour.
