Refinery staff came to work this morning and are reeling in shock here....apparently 3pm yesterday decision was made by government to shut down the refinery and terminate the employees...confirmation that it is true... we have enough oil to refine for two weeks...they are not making provisions to buy more oil...so looking like 1900 refinery workers are now out of a job.

I knew that they weren't training any more Refinery Operators since last year, but it seems hard to believe that petrotrin would pull an ipsl jus so...
It was also kinda strange that roget was kinda hinting that the refinery would be privatized on the news on Monday, but the story just seems to farfetched...

if they lock out refining staff....then whats the relevance of how much oil they have to refine??
no staff=no refining.
Something eh adding up
Nothing was announced.

They didn’t lock them out. Just made an announcement to the staff. Guess severance will be offered over the coming days and weeks.

agreed, "announcement" was not the right word to use there, but enough people know and are talking.
There's also talk that Trinmar may be contracted out, the regiment will take up post in the refinery as security, employees will get severance and can re-apply for their jobs and the refinery will no longer be part of Petrotrin.
None of that I can confirm, but it's information being shared around this morning.
The word is
Upstream operations such as Trinmar going to be contracted out
Rowley said Trinidad coming out of the refining business
1 - cabinet agreed on restructuring
2 - agreed there will be job cuts
3 - employees won't go home empty handed
4 - the above will be done in the next month
5 - the regiment has been asked to take up post or be more present in the refinery and bond
6- all employees will be escorted by police to take their belongings and will have to apply back for their jobs
7- they pushing to commission the line and bond in piarco to avoid any fuel issues

Anyone working Petrotrin can confirm that the refinery is shutdown?

It’s not shut down. The talk is that they are going to shut it down. The govt does not want to be in the refinery business. It may run until end of September. There’s a meeting planned for Tuesday, so I guess details will come out there.
Thanks for the clarification. The original post is misleading and glad Duane clarified since this speculation could cause some ppl to panic resulting in long lines at the gas stations.alfa wrote:Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:neilsingh100 wrote:Seem like every week there is talk about Petrotrin shutting down.

I work petrotrin though not in the refinery but I can say for a fact that nothing is confirmed so far. The government has the sale of the refinery as an option at this time
Yeah union has to meet with the board before anything can happen. Next week this is happening. Board has a proposal of Temps being let go and vsep for 55 and over. Managers across the org out of the bargaining unit are getting the letters soon though.neilsingh100 wrote:Thanks for the clarification.
