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 Banking, Insurance and General Workers Union (BIGWU) has written to Dr Roshan Parasram, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at the Ministry of Health, asking him to intervene in the situation at offshore platforms belonging to energy company Perenco, where several workers have contracted COVID-19. In the correspondence signed by Acting President Mario Als—and which was shared with workers and the media—BIGWU calls on the CMO “to investigate and determine whether Perenco has met the required standards to ensure not only the health, safety and well-being of their employees, but also the public at large”.
