UWUL leaders at the installation programThe newly inducted officers of the United Workers Union of Liberia (UWUL) local office #12 have been warned against engaging in any acts of lawlessness in advocating for their members.Mr. Emmett A. Crayton, Assistant Minister of Trade Union Affairs at the Ministry of Labor, admonished the newly elected officers that they must consider their positions as servants of those who elected them and seek their interest through peaceful means.Crayton said one of their objectives should be to unite the workers to speak with one voice because “in union strong success is sure” through hard work.The installation was held recently in the gold mining town of Kinjor at the UWUL local office in Grand Cape Mount County.Speaking earlier and on behalf of the Bea Mountain Mining Company’s management, Mr. Sando Wayne, community and governmental affairs manager, said the company welcomed the establishment of the workers’ union.He said workers unions are necessary to give workers a voice in making decisions that affect their interest in their places of work .Wayne said one thing the union will bring on board is the advocacy role on behalf their members and promised the company’s full support.Mr. Sydney Cooper, chairman of UWUL, promised to cooperate with the management of Bea Mountain .“Our aim is to make sure that we engage our management through dialogue and not through confusion and I can assure you that we will continue to use dialogue in situations that demand our involvement with the management,” he said.Cooper acknowledged difficulties that faced the union and the unyielding determination of the workers. “There were times that we walked in the rain to make sure that our request to the management was addressed,” he said.He expressed appreciation to Bea Mountain’s management for working with them to get the organization off the union off the ground. “We negotiated with management on pertinent issues and we amicably resolved them which made possible what we have achieved today,” Cooper said.Cooper gave a brief history mining in the community and noted it began in 1996 when a group of artisanal miners discovered the presence of gold in Kinjor leading to the interest of several mining companies including the Mano River Resource and the Aureus Mining.Those installed along with Cooper included Mao Coulibaly, co-chairman, Emmanuel S. Woanyean, secretary general, Maryan Lee, finance officer and James Sulonteh, grievance officer.Others are UWUL’s representatives: Lawrence Copeland Jr., Abraham S. Nyei, Peter Kumeh, Nelson Kiadii, Elijah G. Paypay, Prince Mulbah and Musa Konneh.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Despite receiving assurances aimed at allaying those fears, Mkhitaryan has chosen not to travel to Baku following discussions with the club and his family.Arsenal boss Unai Emery said he respected the ‘personal’ nature of Mkhitaryan’s decision, but conceded it was ‘bad news’ for his team.But Venkatesham branded the situation ‘unacceptable’ and revealed the club would make the full extent of their anger known to the governing body.He was quoted as saying by a number of national newspapers: “I struggle to find words for how strongly I feel. We feel it’s unacceptable.“We don’t feel he can travel and it’s extraordinarily sad. You don’t get a chance to play in major European finals often. Miki has had it taken away from him and it is an extraordinary shame.“We made our point clearly to UEFA, we have written to them. We will also sit down with them face to face after the final and express how it is unacceptable and how it can never happen again to Arsenal or anyone.”0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Arsenal chief angered by Mkhitaryan situationLONDON, United Kingdom, May 22 – Arsenal’s managing director, Vinai Venkatesham, has branded the choice of venue for the Europa League final as “unacceptable”, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan set to miss the game due to fears over his safety.The Armenian’s safety was a concern because of the dispute between his country and Azerbaijan, the host nation of next week’s fixture between the Gunners and Chelsea.

JOE DUFFY has reaffirmed his intention to become a ‘free agent’ as the Burtonport man prepares to face Reza Madadi in London in March.The 28-year-old Donegal man will be fighting for the fifth and final time as a UFC fighter, Duffy having become frustrated in the franchise.Duffy (15-2) takes on the 14-4 Madadi on March 18 at The O2 Arena in London and says: “The plan is free agency. Nothing has changed. “But I’ve enjoyed my time with the UFC and I definitely won’t be cutting them out of the picture. We’ll see how this performance goes.”Iranian Madadi lost to Irishman Norman Parke in October 2015.Bar his points loss at the hands of Dustin Poirier, lightweight Duffy has won all of his contests inside the first round.Back in July, lightweight Duffy took just 25 seconds to overcome Mitch Clarke in Las Vegas for what was the fourth-fastest stoppage in MMA history. ‘Mad Dog’ Madadi is a 38-year-old with a 3-2 UFC – 14-4 overall as a mixed martial artist -record and his last fight was a win over Yan Cabral in Rotterdam back in May.Duffy said: He’s never been finished, he’s fit, he’s game everywhere and he’s not afraid to strike.“You need to be as fit as you can be when you’re up against him. But as always, I’m confident everywhere and I reckon most of the fight will be standing.” Joe Duffy will go for MMA’s free agency route after final UFC bout in March was last modified: January 19th, 2017 by Chris McNultyShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:Joe Duffy
