(The Guardian):  President general of the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU) Ancel Roget says workers will protest outside the private residence of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, resist proposed austerity measures and prevent any private company from operating a bunkering facility in T&T. Roget announced those measures during a rally on Brian Lara Promenade, Port-of- Spain, yesterday after a two-hour march through the city by an estimated 4,000- strong group of trade union members and supporters.

Among the unions which participated were the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union, Communication Workers Union, Banking, Insurance and General Workers Union, T&T Unified Teachers Association, Transport and Industrial Workers Union and Seamen and Waterfront Workers Trade Union.
