Labour leaders in solidarity call at NAACIE conference

Union members at the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE) conference yesterday.

Union members present at the opening of the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employee’s (NAACIE)  Delegates conference yesterday, were urged to stand in solidarity, as they protest for the rights of workers, regardless of the union or industry being affected.

The conference, which began yesterday and will run until tomorrow, was held under the theme “Galvanizing solidarity to advance and protect workers’ rights”. The conference, which is also the union’s third Triennial Conference, was held at the Umana Yana.

Consultant Dr Nanda Kishore Gopaul, who delivered the event’s welcoming remarks, reminded the audience that unions must work unitedly to protect the interests of workers, and ensure that “if one worker is hurt, all must feel aggrieved.”
