The president of the Antigua Trades and Labour Union (AT&LU) used this year's Labour Day observance to issue a direct appeal for unity among the nation's trade unions, warning against actions that divide workers.
According to Antigua Observer, Bernard De Nully made the call at the union's Labour Day gathering held at the VC Bird Bust on Lower Market Street. De Nully addressed attendees ahead of what is one of the labour movement's most significant annual occasions.
De Nully's remarks centred on the importance of solidarity across the country's various trade unions, urging them to stand together rather than pursue interests that could fragment the broader worker movement in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Labour Day event at the VC Bird Bust on Lower Market Street served as the backdrop for the appeal, a location long associated with the country's labour heritage.
