Dear colleagues of WOW, dear friends,<\/p>\n
I am very pleased that the General Board of WOW elected our friend Wayne Prins from CLAC Canada as the new president until the next congress in 2021.<\/p>\n
During the last congress in 2016 we elected a new chairman, but due to circumstances he had to resign after one year.<\/p>\n
At the request of the board I have been acting president for a year, with the intention of finding a new candidate as soon as possible. Well that mission has been successful.<\/p>\n
I have been president of WOW from 1995 \u2013 2016. That is quite a long time. It is good that there is now a new leader of WOW. Not only for the General Board, but also for the European Board, where Wolfgang Pissinger is the chairperson now after the resignation of G\u00fcnther Trausnitz.<\/p>\n
I will remain a member and advisor of the European Board and the General Board for the coming years. The latest until the congress of 2021. And even though I will be more in the background in the coming years I will of course remain available to fulfill tasks within the WOW.<\/p>\n
And of course I hope to continue meeting you in the coming years during trade union actions and at seminars and conferences. In your own continent or in Europe.<\/p>\n
Together we will continue working in order to make the WOW even stronger than it is today.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nRoel Rotshuizen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
