Welcome to the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union

Welcome to the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union! Born out of the historic General Strike and anti-colonial revolt of June 1937 in Trinidad, the OWTU has a proud tradition of being the most important trade union in the Anglophone Caribbean.

Vision
Continuing the tradition of the mass movement towards achieving a society with the power to determine its destiny on the basis of equity, social justice and a decent standard of living for all.

Mission
Conscious of our working class ideology, we advance our vanguard role in the movement by:

• Building solidarity;
• Improving/defending the quality of life of our members and working people as a whole;
• Giving voice the voiceless through organizing, educating and political action
