The National Workers Union Youth Council (NWUYC) will hold its 2nd Annual Youth Congress under the theme ‘Trade Unions; A Youthful Perspective’ on Friday, April 26, 2019 at the Financial Administrative Centre at Pointe Seraphine, Castries.
The Congress, which will bring together forty young workers from all the union’s branches, will be addressed by Nikoli Edwards of Trinidad and Tobago.
The event will create a platform for these young workers to recognize and appreciate the role of trade unions in national development, especially as young people continue to be critical to the growth and longevity of the trade union movement.
This Congress comes at an appropriate time as it coincides with the celebrations in Saint Lucia of youth month, and it provides an avenue to execute the NWUYC’s mandate: ‘To be the catalyst for the advancement and development of young workers through advocacy, empowerment and equal opportunities’.
