This is an ongoing account of the effects of the credit crunch on our twin island republic. Feel free to contribute any reports you come across.

Arcelor Mittal: 120 Temporarily?
Peakes Industries: 104
Repson: 13
Construction Contract Workers: 1800
Neal and Massy: 200

Peaks industries retrenched 104 employees by letter dated March 13th 2009. Citing the recession as the primary reason. The move affects employees operating out of their carenage base of operations.

In February, steel producer Arcelor Mittal temporarily sent home 120 workers as global demand for the product fizzled.

Repsol says, "After carefully evaluating every single role and responsibility, the new organisational structure has made redundant 13 positions,"

Trinidad and Tobago Contractors Association president Mikey Joseph told the Express that up to the end of March, approximately 1,800 workers had been retrenched.

A number of technical staff @ Arcelor Mittal was given their walking papers last week, after having them on leave for the past 3 months...

Obviously if he had spent money years ago to help it would have cost less...But hopefully something good comes out of the summit and there are BILLIONS being Invested and brought into Trinidad to help the economy instead of Papa Manning spending blindly as usual...
