Pressure is mounting over the future of the Hilton Trinidad and Conference Centre, with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) warning that hundreds of workers face growing uncertainty ahead of a July 16 deadline tied to the hotel’s operational status.
CWU secretary general Joanne Ogeer said the union has formally raised alarm after receiving communication from management indicating that the current government extension for the property will expire in mid-July, with no clear indication of what will follow. Ogeer said workers have endured years of shifting timelines and unanswered questions about promised renovations and the long-term future of the hotel, adding that up to 250 employees could be affected if operations are scaled back or closed.
She also questioned the status of previously allocated government funds for refurbishment and called for immediate transparency from both the State and management.
