No Deployment Of US Troops Or Bases In The Caribbean

December 19, 2024 Organization For The Victory Of The People, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
We, the undersigned organizations, strongly condemn the decision by Trinidad & Tobago’s Prime Minister, Keith Rowley, and the PNM Government, to allow the deployment of US troops on Trinidadian soil. This is a grave mistake. Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana have become pawns in the US Empire’s nefarious plan to militarize the Caribbean region under the auspices of the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The US claims that this military cooperation is about enhancing regional security and dealing with issues such as the trafficking of persons, drugs and weapons, and to improve the military capability of these Caribbean countries.

The Trade Union Movement Must Organise Minimum Wage Workers

January 30, 2021 National Workers Union, Hood Communist. , , ,
The twenty-first century has seen the Trade Union Movement in Trinidad and Tobago consistently under attack, severely criticized and victimized by the ruling economic and political elites. The thousands of sugar workers were the first group of organised workers this century to suffer mass retrenchment. This, of course, has had the effect of severely weakening a once powerful union. The Unions in petroleum and petrochemical industries have seen a steady decline in their workforce Thousands of direct and indirect Petrotrin workers have been thrown on the breadline as have hundreds of workers at Arcelor Mittal and hundreds at TSTT. Jobs are disappearing at an accelerated rate in the light and heavy manufacturing industry.
