FORMER energy minister Stuart Young has warned that the Government’s proposed resurrection of the defunct Petrotrin refinery could “sink” Trinidad and Tobago.
Young again defended the restructuring of Petrotrin by the former People’s National Movement (PNM) government, insisting there was “no union busting whatsoever”.
He was speaking in the House yesterday on The Miscellaneous Provisions (Heritage Petroleum, Paria Fuel Trading and Guaracara Refining Vesting) (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The bill seeks the continuation of all collective agreements to which Petrotrin was a party, and to deem Heritage Petroleum Company Ltd and Paria Fuel Trading Company Ltd to be the successors to Petrotrin for the purposes of those collective agreements and the Industrial Relations Act, Chap 88:01.
