IMAGES OF LABOUR DAY 2000

Members of the Oilfields Workers Trade Union hit the streets of Fyzabad during the Labour Day 2000 celebrations. The OWTU is one of the unions that emerged from the labour uprising of June 1937 which is commemorated by the 19th June Labour Day. 

Other unions which can trade their roots back to this period include the National Union of Government and Federated Workers (1937); Seamen & Waterfront Workers Trade Union (1937); All Trinidad Sugar and General Workers Trade Union (1937) and the Public Services Association (1938).
