Trade unions meet with Opposition ahead of budget
Chief among the unions' recommendations are an increase in the minimum wage, a decrease in fuel prices, leaving the retirement age at 60 and forgoing the implementation of the property tax.

These are the demands which were first expressed during Labour Day celebrations.

However, UNC Senator Wade Mark said while both entities agreed on an increase, they held differing views on what that figure should be.

US-trained educator to host dementia care workshops
"No one skill is going to work every single time with a person, so it's getting us as many tools so we can try and figure out what will work in a given situation, whether someone is not understanding us or not wanting to co-operate with us. The positive approach to care is us trying to figure out what the person's needs are with their limited communications skills as opposed to following our own agenda. We are looking at what their needs are at a particular time, what their habits used to be, doing things in a way that makes it smoother to care for them."

Who they fooling?
The record also shows how many times over a period of decades editorial writers in all the daily newspapers have pronounced on "the dangerous trend" of violent crime—Trinidad Guardian, July 1996. Two years before that, in July 1994, this newspaper asked: "what and where is the plan? All we get are excuses and complaints about the enormity of the problem". That editorial concluded: "what the country needs is an all-out attack on the criminal element which appears to be running wild in every direction".
