Rabiatou Sérah Diallo

Rabiatou Serah Diallo (born 31 December 1949, Mamou, Guinea[1]) is a Guinean trade unionist.[2] She is the secretary-general of the National Confederation of Guinean Workers (Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs de Guinée, CNTG).[2][3]

Diallo took a secretarial course at the Ecole des Cadres Techniques in Conakry from 1964 to 1966.[1][2] She worked as a government administrative assistant during the regime of Ahmed Sékou Touré from 1966 to 1979.[2] After completing special legal training at the Institut Polytechnique Gamal Abdel Nasser de Conkry (1975-1978),[2] she became successively "an intern at the Justice Ministry (1979-1980), court clerk at the Regional Tribunal of Conakry I (1980-1984), deputy presiding judge at the Children's Court (1984-1985), a magistrate at the Justice Ministry's Labor Tribunal (1997), and the officer in charge of women's rights at the Ministry of Women's and Children's Affairs (1997)."[2]

Her work as a labor unionist began early. In 1966, "she was elected to the labor unit of the Presidency of the Republic".[2] Diallo was the secretary-general of the District Workers Committee in Conakry from 1981 to 1984, a member of the Executive Committee of the Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs de Guinée (CNTG), and secretary-general of the CNTG, first elected in 2000.[4] From February 2010 to January 2014, she was the president of the National Transitional Council.[1][5] She has received numerous honors and prizes.[2]

In May 2006, Diallo returned to Guinea after a long absence. Kanfy Camara, who closely resembled her, was murdered shortly afterwards, an event which was viewed by the ICFTU as a botched attempt to kill Diallo.[6]
