TERESA Ali was elected vice president of the Fiji Trade Unions Congress at the FTUC's 44th Biennial Conference held in Nadi on Saturday.
The appointment of Ms Ali, a first for the FTUC signalled a change in direction as the organisation pushes for more engagement with female employees around the country.
"I will endeavour to do the best I can for my sisters in their various industries and will continue to work towards delivering the best service to union delegates around the country," Ms Ali said.
