Manuel Antonio Rivas (born 28.II.1702 AN) is a New Alexandrian politician and labor mediator serving as Secretary of Labor since 1744 AN. A member of the Federal Humanist Party, he has represented Boriquén in the Federal Assembly since 1739 AN. Born in Punta Santiago, Alduria, to an Aldurian father and Shirerithian mother, Rivas relocated to Hato Rey, Boriquén, where he built a career in labor-management relations and workforce development consulting. Before entering politics, he worked as a business consultant specializing in human resources optimization and served as director of the Boriquén Workforce Development Institute from 1732 AN to 1738 AN, where he developed vocational training programs emphasizing skills matching and employer partnerships.
Rivas was elected Deputy in the 1739 general elections as one of four Federal Humanist Party representatives from Boriquén, a region heavily dominated by the Wakara People's Party. His success in securing a high position on the FHP party list reflected his reputation as a pragmatic advocate for economic development and job creation in a region where the FHP typically struggles electorally. In the Federal Assembly, he served on the Labor and Economic Development Committee, where he focused on apprenticeship programs, labor market flexibility, and reducing barriers to employment. His appointment as Secretary of Labor by Premier Juan Pablo Jimenez in 1745 AN came as the government prepared to address workforce challenges stemming from refugee integration and rapid technological advancement associated with the Force 1752 initiative.[1]
