PETROTRIN’S CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION–THE IMPACT OF A PROTRACTED STRIKE—THE ROAD AHEAD

Early in December it was my initial intention to do the usual end of year wide-ranging address
but given the simmering but very real threat of major disturbance emanating from the operations
of Petrotrin, I knew whatever the outcome, I would have been required to address the nation on
this particular challenge, which is of interest not only to the workers and union at Petrotrin but to
each and every citizen of Trinidad and Tobago.
It is about time that you, each and every taxpayer, each citizen, you the shareholders of this
company, get a clear picture of what is happening at Petrotrin and what these developments
mean to our already very difficult national circumstances.
