OILFIELDS Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU) executive second vice president Reesa Ramlogan-Jodha demanded the immediate resignation of Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) chief human resources officer (CHRO) Carmela Sarjeant and the removal of the existing board as the union staged an "action" outside the company's office on Frederick Street, Port of Spain, on June 11.

Ramlogan-Jodha said the gathering was not a protest but a co-ordinated action by employees on their scheduled days off or who had officially requested leave, ensuring operations at T&TEC were not disrupted.

“I want to make it absolutely clear the intention of this action is not to be disruptive in any way,” she said. “It is to send a message, and if the message is not heeded, then there is going to be an intervention by the workers.”
