PHILIPSBURG–Marcellina Loblack has successfully completed her training in the International Labour Organization (ILO) programme in Conciliation and Mediation of Labour Disputes and has achieved certification by the ILO in Labour Mediation.

The Minister congratulates Loblack on her achievement and wishes the office of the mediator much success in the future endeavours to promote and ensure labour peace.
