Gary Aboud offended over 'one percent' boycott call

The call by Joint Trade Union Movement (JTUM) leader Ancel Roget on Friday to boycott the businesses owned by the country’s “one percent” has offended at least one businessman from the Syrian-Lebanese community.

CEO of the Mode Alive Trading Company Gary Aboud said Roget’s statement offended him as a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago.

Aboud said while he does not consider himself a member of any one percent minority in control of the country’s economy and is a descendant of the Syrian-Lebanese community, he is not any part of any oligarchy.

Taking Roget to task for his call to boycott, Aboud questioned whether the union leader wanted to place a cap on individuals who achieve prosperity.

“There are members of the Syrian-Lebanese community who have certainly prospered here, and they have indeed reached the pinnacle of economic success.  If Mr. Roget has a problem with that then he should ask his local MP to present a bill in Parliament to outlaw the achievement of prosperity. It’s a constitutional right, comrade Roget.”

“And it isn’t one that’s only enjoyed by descendants of the Syrian-Lebanese immigrants.  It’s a right that’s enjoyed by all, from the parlour owners, to the barbers

Rad­hi­ca Sookraj

Pres­i­dent gen­er­al of the Oil­fields Work­ers' Trade Union An­cel Ro­get is call­ing on all pe­tro­le­um work­ers, ex-work­ers and con­tract work­ers to join with his union in a mas­sive protest out­side the of­fices of the Min­istry of Labour this Fri­day. Ro­get made the call as he ad­dressed hun­dreds of Petrotrin work­ers dur­ing a mass mo­bil­i­sa­tion meet­ing at Pointe-a-Pierre, hours af­ter the state of emer­gency came to an end. Hun­dreds of ex­plo­ration and pro­duc­tion work­ers from var­i­ous fields, in­clud­ing Trin­mar, San­ta Flo­ra, Pe­nal, For­est Re­serve, Fyz­abad and Guayagua­yare at­tend­ed the meet­ing which marked the start of a "no over­time work" cam­paign for all work­ers.

Now that the state of emer­gency has end­ed, Ro­get said, the OW­TU planned "an ag­gres­sive, all in­clu­sive strike ac­tion on the pe­tro­le­um in­dus­try." He added that strate­gies were in place to com­bat a five per cent wage im­po­si­tion at T&TEC, Pow­er­gen, Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies, Petrotrin and Trinidad Ce­ment Ltd. Ac­knowl­edg­ing that con­tract work­ers could un­der­mine this strug­gle, Ro­get called on them to pull strong with the OW­TU. He told work­ers that they must im­me­di­ate­ly
