A professor of Labour and Human Resource Studies at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Prof. Akua Britwum , has launched a book that chronicles the seventy-five-year existence of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Ghana in Accra. 

Titled: " Trade Union Congress (Ghana)Seventy-five Years of Protecting Worker's Rights: Achievements, Challenges and Prospects," the book explains events that led to the creation and development of the TUC Ghana from the colonial rule in the Gold Coast to 2020. 
It also emphasises the crucial role TUC Ghana played in the fight for independence. 
The book points out the critical ingredients that has influenced the kind of environment governments established for the TUC-Ghana has been and how it promoted the concerns of Ghanaians against their survival of ruling elite and the interests of private foreign capital. 
It also documents the struggle of the TUC as a social institution with patriarchy, focusing on its attempts to deal with its gender democracy deficits over the years. 
The book also highlights the recent organising initiatives with the youth, as well as the vision of union leaders, outlining prospects that can make the TUC Ghana uphold its role as a Labour movement that fills a significant lacuna in Ghana's political space. 
Addressing the invitees, Prof. Britwum   encouraged all and sundry to get copies of the book and add to their knowledge and be abreast of the history of TUC Ghana. 
She said the value of worker's right was very much highlighted in the book and would serve as a guide to Ghanaian workforce.
The  book launch attracted TUC Ghana leadership, the clergy,traditional leaders and the general public.
