Nicole Martin, who spoke with the Bahama Journal on Tuesday has not served in the post for a full month, but said that she is "working around the clock."
"The job has come with a lot work as we anticipated," she said.
"Things are coming on pretty good, but we are having some challenges and I guess that should be expected because we have some turmoil here and there with certain employers."
Ms. Martin said those matters are currently being dealt with.
"We are still getting a general understanding of how we want to do business, but things are doing well," she said.
Ms. Martin won more than double the number of votes of all her opponents combined in the union elections held on September 29, according to election results from the Department of Labour.
Her victory was so large that labour officials were able to declare her the winner during the early hours of the following morning before all of the votes were counted.
Ms. Martin, the union’s first female president, secured 1,553 votes. Her closest opponent, former union First Vice President, Kirk Wilson captured 436 votes, while Sidney Rolle and Tyrone Butler received 194 and 123 votes respectively.
She also told the Journal that right now her focus is on getting the union’s finances in orders and assisting union members in Grand Bahama.
"We are focusing on the financial status of the union and also on those persons down in Grand Bahama," she said.
"I just came from Grand Bahama [Monday] after spending two weeks trying to get some things in order because, of course, the people in Grand Bahama were feeling the pinch of the bad economy and so I was there trying to meet with people."
She added that there are also talks in the nation’s second city of a new union being formed. Ms. Martin said she needed to canvass her members’ views on that issue.
"Overall though, I have been doing a lot of things without necessarily prioritizing and I am trying to do whatever I can do to allay some of the fears and bring answers to a lot of the outstanding questions."
Ms. Martin’s entire A-Team won all of the posts on the union’s executive council.
The election win was the second consecutive landslide victory for Martin and her A-Team.
Earlier this year, Ms. Martin had to vacate the presidential position of the country’s largest union after Supreme Court Justice Jon Isaacs nullified its May 4 nominations and May 28 elections.
She defeated former union president Roy Colebrook at the May 28 election.
