The history of the GWU does not stop at the end of various important events.
The GWU is a dynamic organization and its role is an ongoing process. The GWU is vital for the social and economic well-being of workers.
Continue to fight to give voice to the working class in the national arena. The GWU is a force for change and it is for this virtue that it is very difficult for the country to have an adequate and real social dialogue.
