At its first meeting for the year, the General Council of the Guyana Agricul-ture and General Workers’ Union (GAWU) on Friday elected Seepaul Narine as GAWU President, filling the vacancy created since the death of longtime office holder Komal Chand.
In a statement, GAWU said the Council, which comprises representatives from among the Union’s bargaining units and its leadership also elected Aslim Singh as General Secretary and Porandatt Narine as Assistant General Secretary/ Treasurer.
The statement said the Council felt that the new officers have been diligent in their duties and have led the union properly over the last months. “They, therefore, were unanimous in their support of the new officers,” it added, while noting that members of the Council pledged to work alongside the new officers in further strengthening the GAWU and seeing it grow.
