There are moments when corporate decisions reveal how much value was truly placed on workers.
Employees who gave years of service to this establishment are now being told their severance will be stretched over four years. Let that sink in.
Severance is not a bonus. It is compensation earned through time, loyalty, and contribution. It exists specifically to cushion workers during sudden unemployment.
Telling displaced employees to wait years for what is already owed to them raises serious questions about planning, financial management, and respect for labour.
Families do not operate on four-year payment plans. Rent is monthly. Utilities are immediate. Groceries are weekly. Children still need to eat.
If a business benefited from workers’ service for years, then those workers deserve lawful, timely compensation when operations cease.
This is not about emotion. This is about fairness, compliance, and dignity.
Trinidad & Tobago must have serious conversations about how closures are handled and how workers are protected.
We will be following this closely.

An Arima man, Mustapha Gulab, was fatally shot during a police-involved shooting on Thursday evening near SWAHA Hindu College along the Cunapo Southern Main Road in Sangre Grande.

According to reports, around 7:05 p.m., officers on mobile patrol observed a white Toyota Hilux displaying suspicious behavior.
When they attempted to intercept the vehicle, the driver allegedly opened fire on the officers, prompting them to return fire.
The vehicle eventually stopped at Coalmine Bridge, where Gulab was found with gunshot wounds. He was transported to the Sangre Grande Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
At the scene, police recovered an AR-15 rifle and 11 rounds of ammunition, along with several spent shells.

This incident follows a similar event on Sunday, September 21, when police officers shot and killed off-duty soldier Enrique Garcia and his neighbor, Shyein Trancoso (also known as Nookie), in a confrontation in Coalmine, Sangre Grande. Police claimed that individuals in the vehicle opened fire on them, leading to the officers returning fire.
An AR-15 rifle was recovered from the scene. However, Garcia's father disputed the police's account, stating that his son did not have a criminal record and was focused on making a living for himself.

Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
