Vodafone has announced 950 job cuts in its operations in Ghana by November 2009.



The company has been criticized by the Trade Union Congress in Ghana’s capital Accra for unilaterally imposing compulsory redundancies, rather than following the country’s established procedures. The General Secretary of the TUC, Mr. Kofi Asamoah, has accused Vodafone of not exhausting the proper legal procedure, but rather using intimidation and coercion.



This dispute arises a few months after the South African trade union confederation, COSATU opposed Vodafone’s purchase of a further stake in Vodacom.
