Vodafone at loggerheads with African labour
Vodafone is at loggerheads with yet another labour movement in Africa. First it was in South Africa with COSATU and now the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Ghana is up in arms over the telecom giant's decision to lay off 950 employees.
Media reports from Accra say TUC has sharply criticised the layoffs saying the decision contradicts labour relations laws of the country.
Speaking on Peace FM's Morning Show ‘Kokorokoo' the general secretary of the TUC, Kofi Asamoah accused the company of using intimidation and coercion instead of established legal procedures.
