They already covered up another "fake oil scandal" early in 2015 involving Deokie. That one involved international and local companies to the tune of 64m USD.

I'm certain that I heard on the news that the JSC decided that no investigation will be done? and Alison was absent, apparently she was part of the JSC.

and only few get access to thoes "perks" pal. doh get caught up in the sour grapes hype.
Still though I found that the average worker there does benefit. Do you know every month they got a care package of soap, tissue and toilet paper why?
Not to mention even at the lower employment spectrum they have access to health care which in some cases extends to spouses and children. No problem but why all that....even in retirement the spouses can receive 1/2 of the worker's salary again why? The spouse didn't work there, they didn't expose themselves to hazardous conditions. Stupid perks that do exist at all levels not just at the top.
Things that don't exist in other oil and gas companies that do comparable work.

These perks you talking about are for PERMANENT employees only and last time I checked the majority is temporary or on contract

Exactly if you are permanent why do you need all of those perks isn't the opportunity of permanent employment good enough?

What perks tho? Toilet paper? Really? The pension plan and medical comes out of your salary therefore it isn't really a perk... I'm temporary so no perk / benefit atall

Two roles of toilet paper, 1 pack of napkins, 2-3 bars of soap, per month. What does that cost and why can't the worker purchase that on their own? What is the campany rationale?
Secondly the level of benefits that go to the spouse after the death of the worker, why? Do the workers contribute to that? Just asking I do want to know if yes then fine, if not why so many benefits?
In addition if the company is a unified one then why are the Trinmar and Pointe-a-Pierre health plans different, shouldn't it be standard? Also why do some workers transfer from Pointe-a-Pierre to Trinmar even though they have only served at Pointe-a-Pierre, why are they allowed to do that?
Serious question though what percentage of the company is permanent, termporary/OJT, and retirees?

It's not consistent... sometimes months go by and nothing comes... the company pays a contractor and they make up the package... idk the cost of a package but it's cheaper brands like tisu and blue soap... it's personal supplies for everyday use... only the toilet has toilet paper.... kitchen etc isn't supplied with any
Death of a worker... I'm not sure but I think the spouse gets a fixed amount as compensation well if they find a way not to pay because each worker is under insurance... that's supposwd to be a standard anywhere tho... I think they would receive the contributions the worker made to their pension plan also (if permanent)
As for the health plans.... before petrotrin there were several oil companies that merged to form petrotrin... they each had their own unique health plans and they stuck to them with trinmar being the best... trinmar has more room for growth... more positions to move up but harder at the same time because you have more steps in the ladder... it's a give and take.... if trinmar has more pros than cons for you then go for it... it's a tricky situation... each field has its own set of issues and well another factor could be safety.... if the cat cracker was to blow up it has a 1 mile blast radius.... it would level marabella and part of Gasparillo.... that's scary no? Apart from the harmful gasses
I'm not sure of percentages but in my section where I work there are 4 permanent, 3 temporary and 4 casual.... there are a few retirees with most of them having passed away already and they were never replaced (permanent hires to replace them)... no ojt
Apart from that... working conditions not so great.... no spares no new parts... always having to salvage old parts and 'making it work' with nothing... it's a struggle sometimes and some places have it alot nicer with higher salaries too.... if you wanna pick at people's benefits and stuff... pick on the people on top who getting everything for doing nothing

Okay...so if the workers aren't getting the perks where is the bloat coming from?
Management? The non-technical sections (HR)?
My little contact with the company was in a technical capacity and quite frankly it was abysmal....a lot of waste and no accountability.
Nothing was done to even try and be technically responsible, just stay quiet and throw more money at it.
