Welcome to The Africa Hour, the podcast that takes a deep dive into pressing policy issues in African countries, providing expert analysis and insights from various perspectives. In today's episode, we are focusing on Ghana, where the tech industry is currently grappling with the aftermath of Twitter's recent decision to lay off all but one member of its 20-person team in Accra, which is the hub of its African operations. The affected employees have initiated legal action against Twitter, citing violations of Ghanaian employment laws. This situation raises important questions about how multinational tech companies operating in Africa are adhering to local labor laws and respecting the rights of their employees. Therefore, we will be examining the Ghanaian legal framework for hiring and firing, and also delving into broader issues around the treatment of tech workers across the continent. So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore this critical topic. Please subscribe, rate and share.
