Africa-Press – Angola. Leaders of trade union centrals in the province of Huambo defended, this Wednesday, the need to be represented in the National Assembly, for a more direct participation in the discussions and approval of laws aimed at public/private workers.
The fact was manifested by the members of the Union of Trade Unions (UNTA-CS) of Huambo during a meeting with the provincial secretary of the Social Renewal Party (PRS), António Soliya Selende.
