Dr. Yaw Baah- TUC Sec- Gen Elect.

       

 The 10th quadrennial delegates’ congress of the labour organization held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, has elected Dr Anthony Yaw Baah as the new Secretary General of Ghana’s Trades Union Congress (TUC).

This congress comes after the reign of Mr. Kofi Asamoah, who has served his two four year term.

Before he was elected, Dr Baah was the Deputy Secretary General of the TUC and has served in various capacities in the TUC. He now takes over from Mr. Kofi Asamoah the outgoing Secretary General of the TUC.

Dr Baah, who has worked under the former Secretary General, is expected to improve upon the legacies left by his predecessor getting the structures working and carrying along his leadership.

In his speech, he has pledged not to disappoint the trade union, declaring that they will work with passion to improve the Ghanaian worker's condition.

Other officers elected by the delegates to serve on the national level were; Mr Joshua Ansah, Deputy Secretary General, Reverend Richard Yeboah, Chairperson, Mr. Alex Nyarko Opoku, first Vice Chairperson and Ms Philomena Aba Sampson, second Vice Chairperson.

He made a call to various labour unions to maintain the unity in order to make the TUC formidable to champion the cause of workers.
