National Organization of Trade Unions (NOTU) Chairman General Usher Wilson Owere has outlined his plan ahead of being nominated Workers MP in 2021 elections.

The long serving NOTU boss threw his hat in the race for the next election and announced his candidature for Workers MP last week at Serena Hotel.

“There has been a lot of pressure on me work

ers want me to stand I have been consulting the youth, women and other stake holders together with leaders from both centers that is NOTU and COFTU to stand,” Owere said.

“I want to add value to our representation in parliament I want to defend our interests as workers and I to insure the laws that are passed in parliament are
implemented to the last word I want to monitor policies geared to the interest of workers.”

Workers in the 10 th parliament are represented by legislators that include Charles Bakkabulindi, Dr Sam Lyomoki, Arinaitwe Rwakajara others are Agnes Kunihira, and Margaret Namubiru Rwabasaija.

“When are came I found there was a lot of fighting from both centers, but I defused these fights and now both centers are working,” Owere added.

“This bickering and fighting you go to parliament then you use money to create fights it is going to stop I cannot stand that. Workers we are supposed to be united and when we are united we can progress.”

Owere added that he wants to push for a minimum wage.
The long serving NOTU boss is an aviator and worked at Civil Aviation Authority were he achieved a lot of milestones while he worked there.
He stated that CAA has the best collective bargain agreement.

Owere’s entry has caused fever among the five incumbent workers’ Member of Parliament. Close members to workers’ MPs, say that Hon. Arinaitwe Rwakajara and Hon. Sam Lyomoki are the most worried.
