Trinis really this stupid? What makes his private investors different to the ones that gov't favour?
If Petrotrin all these years making more money than Ansa Mcal then Petrotrin workers and OWTU are bigger than the 1%?
Could someone give me an idea of the average owtu worker's skills and educational level because I have been in places where people have been laid off and they literally took their severances and went about their lives normel normel. Ppl keep saying that these workers highly skilled and educated but if this was the case then they would be very mobile and get new employment. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
How many vacancies you see in the newspaper lately?
By chance did you see 5000 vacancies?
The newspaper used to have career sections. Not any more. Please take off your political blinders.

So your logic is to keep the refinery open just to employ 5000 people with jobs that possibly don't exists? You do realise that a job is not there for people to be paid a salary. A job is to provide value for the creation of goods and services which can be sold in order for salaries etc to be paid. Without the value there can be no job. If you are working for an overstaffed under performing state company then your job is artificial. There is no artificial employment in under performing private companies. The market corrects that.
Why is that so difficult for you all to understand. What is Petrotrin's optimum staffing requirements. Listen bro, once a company begins to suffer the first cost that is reviewed is personnel and salaries. That is just basic economics.
Anyone of you all ever visit other refineries around the world to get an idea of where Petrotrin measured up with the others?

Probably the most a55inine post in this entire thread. What caribbean islands? You do realise that the caribbean is basically the poorest region on the planet right. St Vincent's national product is bananas, who can they bail out?
You really have no clue about what wealth and power is. If you want a "bail out" facking try and entice a private equity firm or something. There are hundreds of them all over the world. Jeeez.
Some of alluh really showing why they had to set the reset button on the place. This is beyond ridiculous now.
All this talk about Petrotrin this and Petrotrin that, explain to me why 5000 - 9000 workers were needed for a refinery that is producing less than 150000 bbd.
That is where the discussion starts and possibly end because jump high jump low is massive retrenchment that is needed to begin to rescue that company.
Petrotrin in not the Refinery alone. It is PaP, Penal, Santa Flora, Pt Fortin, Guaya.
Each location having vendors, businesses and contractors who will be affected as well.
Run some numbers on refineries located in the Caribbean, Latin America and South America.Redress10 wrote:Some of the largest Oil refineries in the world and their personnel numbers.

Doesn't this reaffirm the fact that the 45k average is an accurate figure?
If the figures were lower than 45k, then we can say that the 45k average is a lie etc, but these values help Rowley's stance...

Umm not sure if they teach allyuh anything about economics down Point but it really don't matter where the refinery is compared to the world market, where we buy and sell commodities, sets the efficiency standard.
Trying to compare with inefficient refineries or justifying running a refinery at a lose or worse importing oil just to keep some jobs all mask the problem that it needs to go. Should ah do that 30 years ago the day the refinery stop being viable.
