An­cel Ro­get has been re-elect­ed, un­op­posed, to the post of Pres­i­dent Gen­er­al of the Oil­field Work­ers Trade Union (OW­TU).

In a me­dia re­lease, the OW­TU says Ro­get’s 'Rebel' Slate will be in charge of the union for the pe­ri­od 2022 to 2025.

It says nom­i­na­tions, which were held yes­ter­day, saw for the first time in OW­TU’s 85-year his­to­ry, women hold­ing the po­si­tions of both First and Sec­ond Vice-Pres­i­dents.

Reesa Ram­lo­gan-Jod­ha, who pre­vi­ous­ly held the po­si­tion of Vice-Pres­i­dent, was el­e­vat­ed to the post of Sec­ond Vice-Pres­i­dent.

Mean­while, Sati Ga­jad­har In­niss, who pre­vi­ous­ly held the po­si­tion of Sec­ond Vice-Pres­i­dent in the union, was el­e­vat­ed to po­si­tion of First Vice-Pres­i­dent.

The OW­TU al­so re­ports that Ad­di­tion­al­ly, as part of the new ex­ec­u­tive, two young per­sons were brought on to the ex­ec­u­tive to hold the po­si­tions of Trustee.

The union al­so notes the new ex­ec­u­tives who have re­placed out­go­ing mem­bers Pe­ter Burke and Chan­dra­sain Ram­s­ingh, are Com­rade Janelle Thomas from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go branch, and Com­rade Jonathon Bowen from the T&TEC, Port of Spain branch.

“With a new ex­ec­u­tive that re­flects the OW­TU’s mem­ber­ship, which com­pris­es women in se­nior po­si­tions and young per­sons, the union is ef­fec­tive­ly po­si­tioned to en­sure its con­tin­ued rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the chang­ing needs of the work­ing class and hold fast to its man­date to de­fend its mem­bers and the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go at all costs,” the OW­TU said.
