THE Oilfield Workers Union (OWTU) has appealed to Labour Minister Stephen McClashie to intervene and help 15 workers who have been retrenched from Yara Trinidad Ltd.
OWTU trustee member Ernesto Kesar made the appeal when he spoke with reporters outside Yara s ammonia plant at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate on Wednesday.
Kesar recalled that on November 18, Yara issued retrenchment notices to 15 workers in the union s bargaining unit at the company. He said the union responded the following day.
