Solace Myers who joined the National Workers Union (NWU) about one year ago as the organisation’s industrial relations specialist has been appointed to act in the position of assistant secretary general.

That decision was unanimously agreed upon on December 12, 2012 when the NWU held its final Central Committee Meeting for 2012.

Myers will now be one of the front-line negotiators for the organisation  and will also deal with other matters of an industrial relations nature undertaken by the union.

Myers, who is the holder of a masters degree in industrial relations and human resource management from the University of Toronto and a bachelor of arts degree in labour studies and sociology from York University, is the first woman to assume that level of position in the National Workers Union.
