The Antigua and Barbuda Trades and Labour Union (AT&LU) has decided to retain its current executive leadership following the absence of new nominations before the September 12 deadline. This decision was formally ratified during the union’s 86th Annual Delegates’ Conference, where a resolution confirming the continuation of the last lawfully elected team was unanimously supported by delegates. The conference also marked a significant announcement: General Secretary Alrick Daniel declared he would not seek re-election, signaling a potential shift in the union’s administrative dynamics. In his presidential address, AT&LU President Bernard de Nully underscored the theme, ‘The Unity of Labour Is the Salvation of Our Country,’ emphasizing solidarity and reflecting on the union’s 86-year legacy. De Nully also proposed the establishment of an AT&LU Credit Union, aimed at enhancing members’ financial security through savings initiatives. The union hailed this year’s conference as a ‘resounding success,’ meeting the expectations of both leadership and members. The event highlighted the union’s commitment to unity, financial empowerment, and strategic growth.
