It was noted that GAWU was approached by the workers of the GGB “after they felt the representation from the GWU was lacking.”
According to the missive, “workers subsequently completed GAWU application forms and the union submitted its application to the Trade Union Recognition and Certification Board (TURCB).”
Following the TURCB’s consideration of the GAWU application, a poll was ordered to determine which union enjoyed the majority support of the workers. That poll was concluded yesterday.
GAWU in announcing the poll results said it “welcomes the workers of the GGB to its fold, as we work together with them to improve their benefits and other conditions of work.”
