NUPW head: We will support all members

IT DOESN’T MATTER if you are a Bee or a Dee. If you are a member of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) you will be supported.

Minutes after it was announced that he had blown away the challenge of Roy Greenidge by 1 053 to 556 to retain the presidency of the NUPW in Wednesday’s elections, Akanni McDowall pledged to represent the union’s entire membership.

In his victory speech, McDowall promised to put the needs of members first.

“This union is a political institution, but it is a political institution for workers. We have members from the various political parties, with various political affiliations.
