From lobbying for workers’ rights to lobbying with the United National Congress (UNC), the Oilfield Workers' Trade Union (OWTU) has officially unveiled its contribution to the coalition of interests, by yesterday submitting two of its members for screening under the UNC banner.
Former secretary general of the Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) Clyder Elder was screened for the La Brea constituency and former Trinmar branch president, now vice president of OWTU, Ernesto Kesar, was screened for Point Fortin.
OWTU representatives told Guardian Media that they were both the sole nominees to be screened for those constituencies. After the process was completed last evening, Elder said both he and Kesar were confident they would be selected as candidates for the seats.
