Mohamed Ayube Edun

Mohamed Ayube Edun was a prominent Guyanese trade union leader and activist, best known for founding the Manpower Citizens Association (MPCA) in 1937 to represent the interests of sugar workers in Guyana. Under his leadership, the MPCA became a powerful force for labor rights and worker representation, notably surpassing the British Guiana Labour Union in membership. Edun's commitment to militant trade unionism during a time of significant socioeconomic challenges in the Caribbean marked him as a crucial figure in the labor movement, advocating for better working conditions and fair treatment for workers.
