The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago

Labour Day honours the generations of workers whose courage and sacrifice helped to shape our nation's history and protect the rights we often take for granted.

As we reflect on the legacy of the 1937 labour struggles and the continuing work of the labour movement today, let us all recommit ourselves to fostering a culture of mutual respect, dialogue and partnership in every workplace.

Happy Labour Day from the Management and Staff of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago!
