executive committee.

members with Kelvin Gabriel Lucciano as
Chairman, the Minister mandated the
committee to also resuscitate state chapters of
the association and reconcile all warring
factions in the association.

Members were knowledgable in what
trade unionism is all about, pointing
out that trade unions play important
roles in the society and are
fundamental to the development of
prosperous and democratic principles.

principle of social dialogue should be
embraced by all as an important tool
for the resolution of conflicts so as to
avoid unnecessary litigations and the

intra-union dispute and leadership crisis
spanning over a period of twelve years, adding
that no Organisation can record any
meaningful progress and growth under such
circumstance.
