President of the Oilfields Workersâ Trade Union Ancel Roget says the unionâs future has been secured following the passage of The Miscellaneous Provisions Amendment Bill on Thursday.
The bill ensures that collective agreements negotiated under Petrotrin will continue through its successor companies, Heritage Petroleum Company Limited and Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited.
Speaking during the OWTUâs annual Labour Day wreath-laying ceremony at the statue of labour movement pioneer Tubal Uriah âBuzzâ Butler on Friday morning, Mr. Roget described the move as one of the most significant victories in the unionâs history.
