Eon Andrews is newest City Councillor
City Mayor Hamilton Green (sitting at left) acknowledges the presence of Eon Andrews (standing) as the newest councillor.
In his first presentation as a Councillor of the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Georgetown (M&CC), Eon Andrews emphasised the importance of addressing employees’ wellbeing in the interest of improving the operation of the municipality.
Andrews was, on Tuesday, sworn in as the newest councillor of the municipality. He replaces the recently deceased Alan Chin.
And as Vice President of the Guyana Trades Union Congress, Andrews pointed out at the most recent statutory meeting, retrenching of workers should not be considered an option in the municipality’s efforts at restructuring.
His comments came in the wake of deliberations which suggested that a reviewing of the quota of municipal staffers should be done if the operation of the entity is to be sustained financially.
He ably highlighted possible ways that skilled and unskilled workers could be shuffled with ease with a view to improving, rather than hurting, the institution. His presentation was well accepted by his colleagues.
According to Andrews, in a brief interview with this newspaper, he brings to the municipal table a wealth of knowledge as it relates to labour laws and union operations. He added that he could offer ideas in the area of sports, having been a sports personality for a number of years.
Andrews is the Administrator of the Critchlow Labour College, and is the Assistant Secretary of the National Commission on AIDS.
