The TUC and the Ghana Maritime and Dock Workers Union in recent times have expressed concerns about the deal which they believe will lead to job losses. President Nana Akufo-Addo, in his initial remarks, expressed his surprise at the TUC and the Dock Workers union for seemingly escalating on-going engagements the union had with the Transport Ministry.
