Senior Reoprter

The Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) is distancing itself from its former secretary general Clyde Elder, after he entered the general election race as a candidate under the United National Congress (UNC) banner.

The union yesterday made it abundantly clear that it has no affiliation with Elder’s campaign, nor is it in support of the UNC’s coalition of interests.
