The National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) is much more stable than it was a year ago.That is the view of president of the country’s largest public sector union Kimberley Agard, who said providing its members with a safe and healthy environment is one of her biggest achievements to date.In an interview with Barbados TODAY to reflect on her first year in the post, Agard said prior to her being elected, both the NUPW’s Executive and membership were in turmoil.The 39-year old became the third woman to serve in the position when she defeated Fabian Jones on August 19, 2021.That election was overshadowed by controversy as former president Akanni McDowall staged an unsuccessful attempt to become the NUPW’s general secretary and then after being disallowed from seeking re-election he filed an injunction in the High Court to stop the elections from taking place.However, Agard said she was proud to see that the NUPW had since settled down.
