Press Release :

The All Trinidad General Workers’ Trade Union and the National Solidarity Assembly extend its sincerest congratulations to Dr. Keith Rowley on his ascension to the office Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.

We commend the Prime Minister elect, on his determination, strength and fortitude in not only winning the last Local Elections, the Tobago House of Assembly Elections, the St. Joseph By-Elections and the General Elections of 2015 but having done so, moved the People’s National Movement from 12 seats to 23 seats in parliament.

We look forward to working with the Prime Minister elect, in an amicable and diplomatic manner towards resolving the outstanding issues affecting Ex-Caroni Workers, Cane Farmers, those involved in the agricultural sector including livestock, farming, fishing, tenants of Caroni Land and squatters throughout Trinidad and Tobago.

We are confident with the passage of time; your leadership through the collective efforts of your entire Government would maintain the unity, strength, dignity and unwavering determination for the continued development of Trinidad and Tobago.

We wish the Prime Minister elect all the best in his tenure-ship for the next five years and do believe that once the mistakes of the past and of past Prime Ministers are not repeated by Dr. Keith Rowley, the new Prime Minister elect, has the opportunity to perhaps make himself, one of the best Prime Minister Trinidad and Tobago has ever seen and in that context, we take opportunity to wish you and the Government a productive and fruitful term in office and a deepening of the relationship with the All Trinidad General Workers’ Trade Union.

Yours sincerely,
Nirvan Maharaj (Attorney at Law)
President General (ATGWTU)
Political Leader (NSA)
3^rd Vice President (NATUC)
