Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Work­ers’ Union (CWU) sec­re­tary gen­er­al Joanne Ogeer is call­ing on Land and Le­gal Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sad­dam Ho­sein to keep his promise that Hilton work­ers’ jobs are safe.

Hilton has sig­nalled that it wants to con­tin­ue its 64-year pres­ence at the State-owned Hilton Trinidad and Con­fer­ence Cen­tre, even as its lease re­mains on course to ter­mi­nate on Sep­tem­ber 18 if a long-term agree­ment with Gov­ern­ment is not reached.

En­hance­ments be­ing made on the north­ern side of the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah to ac­com­mo­date the Au­gust 31 In­de­pen­dence Day Pa­rade will be re­moved af­ter the event, says Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Hous­ing and Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress Shad­ow MP for Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West Phillip Alexan­der.

The le­gal bat­tle over the trag­ic death of sev­en-year-old An­gel­i­ca Jo­gie in To­ba­go is on the verge of head­ing to court.
