Union formed to represent concerns of vendors

Jun 12, 2012 News

A union has now been developed to cater for the needs and betterment of street vendors.
Named the Movement of Civil Union, its founder and Chairman, Odo Best, told Kaieteur News that the well planned organization also includes a secretariat. Its objective is mainly to take on the responsibilities of the issues affecting vending, and vendors.
The union comprises 78 members. It has been in existence for almost three months now, and is hoping to make a difference in a short while.
Best noted that “although there is no law clearly preventing vending in the streets, the law of encumbering road ways and government reserves is conveniently used to create discomfort and fear in the hearts of the vending population which comprises of 90 per cent women.”
Best added that all the members of the union learn from each other and scrutinize challenges and ways in dealing with them.
The union, he said, is prepared to engage any authority to address any issue relating to vending within the boundaries of the country.
Best and the members of the union are hoping to have more members and grow as a body.
