The youngest of nine kids, Gadiel has lived most of his life in Manurewa. A trade unionist, he now works at Griffins Foods as a Technical Specialist and volunteers as a Senior Site Delegate for E tū Union.
Involved in the union movement for the past 22 years, Gadiel was recently appointed as the first Pasefika Co-President of E Tū Union. He upholds fairness and equal opportunity, and is passionate about ensuring our rangatahi get the best possible start in life and have access to all they need to succeed.
O le malosi o le nu'u, o tupulaga; the strength of village is our youth. Gadiel knows that this rings true, especially in Manurewa where over a quarter of people are under 15. He is dedicated to being part of a team that can plan our journey forward, knowing that initiatives to focus on youth could not be more important.
