Some of the Perenco Trinidad and Tobago Limited workers wait on a shuttle boat to be transferred to Point Galeota on Sunday, after testing positive for COVID-19.
The Joint Trade Union Movement (JTUM) has expressed anger at the attitude of Perenco Trinidad and Tobago’s management in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak on two of its platforms and at its threat to discipline workers should they disclose any information on the incident to any third party, including the media.
In a statement issued last evening, JTUM said the threat letter and other correspondences issued to workers by the oil and gas company was “a clear indication of this company’s intent to hide, undermine and coverup any wrong with regards to the handling of COVID-19 cases found on the various platforms.”
