Following the announcement of the Government’s intention to close the refinery at Petrotrin last week and escalation of tensions between the Government and the representative workers union, the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce makes a public call to all stakeholders to adopt a level-headed approach and work collaboratively for a successful way forward.

The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce supports the board of Petrotrin in its mandate to ensure that the organisation reinvents and repositions itself to become a competitive, self-sustaining entity.
