While organised labour welcomes all the support it can get we must examine the horns. Do Rowley, Franklyn Khan, Imbert and them support the Workers’ Agenda? Of course not! The PNM enacted the ISA and the IRA during two different states of emergency. The greatest revolutionary uprising in the history of T&T was the 1970 uprising. Who was the government in office? The PNM! The PNM on two occasions jailed trade union leaders; attacked and brutalised workers on Bloody Tuesday 1975; declared a state of emergency in the Post Office in Port of Spain.
The PNM accelerated the privatisation programme begun by the NAR; set up the Public Sector Negotiating Committee to frustrate and delay wage negotiations; tried to hand over MTS to their CPEP contractor partners; put an injunction on PTSC workers; tried to decertify TIWU and CWU; introduced the contract system that has destabilised the public service; supports the farm out lease out programme in Petrotrin. PNM supports the divestment of FCB! PNM does not and cannot support the Workers’ Agenda.
They represent the interests of the employers and the capitalists, just as the UNC and the COP do and no amount of skin teeth and hug up by Rowley is going to change that! Rowley appearing on a JTUM platform is not going to turn him into a champion of the working class. A capitalist politician is a capitalist politician! He has his financiers to satisfy
Rowley did not stay long , he was feeling uneasy!
