The criteria for selection: committed to our labor agenda; track record of supporting labor, trade unions, farmers, educators, sectors, and advocacies; COVID-19 response; human rights advocate; winnability, significant in surveys; support for NTUC actions; balance of principles and political realities; corruption.
NTUC Phl conducted straw votes among its officers in Aug 8, Sept 18, Oct 16, Nov 25. The latest vote taken on Feb 16-21 mirrored the Council’s decision.
