The Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union has written to Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley, saying the union stands ready to begin deep and meaningful engagement on its proposal to save the Petrotrin Refinery from closure.

The union says it is also prepared to examine all other options to arrive at an amicable solution in the interest of the country.

In the letter, OWTU President General, Ancel Roget, reminded the Prime Minister of his statement that the OWTU will be given the first option to own and operate the Refinery on the most favourable terms.

Mr. Roget said notwithstanding the response of both the union and the Prime Minister that the Refinery has not been sold, and given the dire consequences to the citizens and country as a whole, the union believes an arrangement can be reached to maintain the refining operations while still maintaining its principled position of the country's ownership of these assets.
