Castries – Wednesday, April 17, 2019- 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 Finance Administrative Centre at
Pointe Seraphine, Castries.

The Congress which will bring together forty (40) young workers from a cross section of
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 to discuss this role. It coincides with the
celebrations of youth month in Saint Lucia and 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.”
