PM Rowley's Labour Day Message 2020

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago recognises the nation's workers as a most important asset in keeping the country economically, socially and politically stable. The assertion came from Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley in his message to the nation on Labour Day 2020. The Prime Minister says the face of labour, as we have known it, is changing and the sudden, devastating appearance of COVID-19 has certainly brought this realisation to the centre stage. In his message to the nation, Dr. Rowley paid tribute to frontline workers who took up the charge in ensuring that the rest of Trinidad and Tobago remained safe and productive. He said those in the protective services, sanitation and garbage collectors, the public utilities, the supermarkets - essential workers - are exemplars of our national watchwords, 'Discipline, Production and Tolerance.' The Prime Minister said as we celebrate another Labour Day, we should never forget the past struggles but also prepare ourselves for the many coming challenges and transformations in the "new" world, after the COVID-19 pandemic.
