At the 86th Annual Delegates’ Conference of the Antigua and Barbuda Trades and Labour Union (AT&LU), featured speaker Carl Christopher lauded Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s administration for its transformative housing and infrastructure initiatives. Christopher described these efforts as a “housing revolution for the workers” and an “infrastructural revolution,” emphasizing their role in elevating living standards across the nation. He highlighted the broader societal benefits, including expanded access to education, ownership opportunities, and investment avenues for the youth. Christopher urged delegates to remain vigilant against detractors, warning against allowing “liars, laggards, and charlatans” to derail the progress achieved. He invoked the legacy of past labour leaders, such as Sylvia Cornwall Byrd, Ivan Peters, and Rufus Lewis, to underscore the importance of unity in addressing global challenges like inflation, climate change, and conflicts. Christopher stressed that these issues are not abstract but directly impact workers, making solidarity essential. He called for continued discipline and productivity, urging the younger generation to view education as a tool for empowerment and job creation. In his closing remarks, Christopher emphasized the critical role of unity, declaring that “the unity of labour is the salvation of our nation.” He rallied support for Prime Minister Browne and AT&LU President Bernard de Nully, asserting that the movement’s future hinges on collective strength.
