As Trinidad and To­ba­go com­mem­o­rates Labour Day to­day, the Na­tion­al Trade Union Cen­tre of Trinidad and To­ba­go (NATUC) has is­sued a strong call for re­newed com­mit­ment to work­ers’ rights, fair wages and so­cial jus­tice.

In its Labour Day 2026 mes­sage, NATUC re­mind­ed cit­i­zens that the hol­i­day is not mere­ly a day off but a solemn recog­ni­tion of the strug­gles and sac­ri­fices that se­cured dig­ni­ty, fair wages, safe work­ing con­di­tions and re­spect in the work­place.

The or­gan­i­sa­tion stressed that these prin­ci­ples re­main vi­tal as work­ers con­tin­ue to face ris­ing liv­ing costs, wage stag­na­tion and job in­se­cu­ri­ty.
