PRESIDENT OF THE National Union of Public Workers (NUPW), Akanni McDowall, is querying why the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) administration is making such ado about the union’s upcoming elections.
Calling it “a distraction”, he told the MIDWEEK NATION: “The elections of the union should not be such a great concern to any Government, unless the Government is in fear of the leaders of the union.”
McDowall made the comments following criticism from Minister of Education Ronald Jones at the DLP St Andrew branch meeting at Alleyne School on Sunday.
Jones claimed there were Barbados Labour Party (BLP) supporters seeking to become trade unionists to further their personal and political aspirations. (LK)
