You living in past bro, unions have become obsolete as they no longer seek the plight of the worker. They on games and politics. These so-called union leaders get pay offs from employers.

Minister: Unions just as guilty as employers
Carol Matroo
LABOUR Minister Jennifer Baptiste-Primus says her ministry cannot legislate the negotiating process as this takes place between an employer and the union. This, she said, was where one would have to use moral suasion to encourage both parties to sit and talk.
The minister was responding to a question on the inordinate length of time it often takes for negotiations to be completed and how to rectify this.
Baptiste-Primus spoke on Wednesday during a news conference on the Labour Legislative Reform Agenda at the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs, Tower C, International Waterfront Centre, Port of Spain.
“Let me tell you, it is not only employers who delay negotiations, unions also are guilty of that by not submitting proposals to the employer so both parties could take stock and come to the table with an appreciation of mutual respect so negotiations could be conducted and completed on a timely basis.
“That is an area of concern for us at the ministry, but you can’t legislate a time frame for the collective bargaining process. We have to ensure that the collective bargaining process is followed, but we cannot say your negotiations must be completed in six months or one year.”
She said the ministry is looking at contract labour since government’s policy is to reduce State dependency on this form of labour. “You cannot be part of the nature to remove contract employment, but certainly we can make a concerted effort to reduce our dependency on contract labour. That position paper was placed before Cabinet and is before our Finance and General Purposes Committee. The idea is to bring stakeholders together so they can agree on a prescription for the reduction of dependence on (this kind of) labour,” she said.
The minister is hoping amendments to the Industrial Relations and the Retrenchment and Severance Benefits Acts would at least be before Parliament by year’s end.

That's partly the reason why thousands of workers were sent home and de union ain't say boo. That's why Venezuelans taking de same union members jobs and they didn't nothing. Employers raping de workforce left, right and center, and most of de unions silent. I ain't into party politics, but you really feel kamla could have shutdown petrotrin with no push back form the union? Unions will always fall in line with the pnm. They sold out their own followers, just like how the politicians sold out the country. All this infighting is nothing more than a distraction from real issues.

100% truth. No other race would have gotten away with that unless you're invested in the PNM who will buffer them.
I was genuinely surprised when Growlers shut down petrotrin so easy and the big bad OWTU take it so. All they had was noise over the years and piggybacking of the Butler riots. Back then it was the black man in the oil belt vs the colonial white man. This rounds the union didn't want to go against "dey own".
The 1% smart, invest in the PNM as ultimate insurance.
