A group contesting this year’s National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) general election plans to defend state employees who were disrespected or even left in the lurch.

That point was made on Friday during the launch of the Vision for the Workers’ Interests Now campaign at the union’s Dalkeith, St Michael headquarters.

The candidates are long-time welfare officer Fabian Jones, who is running for the presidency position, teacher Daria-Michelle Cave for 1st vice president, David Denny for 2nd vice president, and general worker Mclita King for 3rd vice president.

During the launch, Jones said that the union was being accused of being politically affiliated without having the workers at the forefront. He said they intended to reverse that perception.  (TG)
