Unions Welcome Back Officers After NZCTU Election
The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions welcomes back President Richard Wagstaff and National Secretary Melissa Ansell-Bridges, who were both re-elected for a four-year term.
Today at the NZCTU Biennial Conference, all four officers standing for election were welcomed back unopposed.
Richard Wagstaff was thrilled to represent the peak union movement for a third term.
“It remains a huge honour to represent and advocate for workers across the motu. A strong union movement is essential for New Zealand as we continue to navigate new challenges like just transitions, the ongoing pandemic, and increasing inequality.”
Melissa Ansell-Bridges expressed her privilege in continuing as National Secretary for a second term.
“We have a lot of work ahead of us, but the NZCTU remains deeply committed to working people. I’m looking forward to continuing this work for another four years.”
Vice-President Rachel Mackintosh was also re-elected for a third term, and Vice President Māori Syd Keepa was re-elected for a fourth term.
