Welcome
We are a Trade Union organization based in the Southern Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago. We are affiliates of UNI GLOBAL UNION & JTUM. Our union is the Caribbean’s premier finance sector union and also represents workers in the media and professional sector.
We were formed out of the need to represent the working class within the local banking and insurance sector. We currently represent approximately 6,000 workers of various demographics comprising of approximately 70% female members.
Youth Committee
“We have a powerful potential in our youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power towards good ends.” Mary McLead Bethune.
The Youth Committee was formed by the need to engage young workers to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of Trade Unionism, while developing on the ideals of solidarity and camaraderie among the branches of BigWu. However, mobilizing/organizing this group of people has not been met with the enthusiasm, attention and support that has involved and maintained that spark in today’s young worker.
