JTUM appeals: Put refinery in hands of those who laboured
The Pointe-a-Pierre refinery. -
IN a show of solidarity, individual members of the Joint Trade Union Movement (JTUM) have called on government to finalise the arrangement that would see the Guaracara refinery in the hands of the OWTU's Patriotic Energies and Technologies Co Ltd (Patriotic).
Trevor Johnson, JTUM’s assistant general secretary and general secretary of the banking workers union, said they are not asking for any favours or political handout.
During a virtual news conference on Friday morning, Johnson stressed the unions were not in a fight with government, but in solidarity with their brother union.
