MPATT is the acronym for The Medical
Professionals Association of Trinidad and Tobago. It is
a registered and official trade union, as of May 2002
under the Trade Unions Act, Chap 88:02.
MPATT’s main purpose is to secure the interests
of medical professionals in carrying out their duties
within the Health Sector of Trinidad and Tobago. On 24th
August 2009, MPATT was successful in its application for
recognition as the majority trade Union for doctors
employed with the South West Regional Health Authority.
This gives MPATT the right and authority to collective
bargaining for doctors in SWRHA.
MPATT continues to function as the
defacto
Trade Union for doctors in the North-West, North
Central, Eastern and Tobago Regional Health Authorities
where it can currently negotiate on an individual
member’s behalf. MPATT can legally represent each member
in Industrial Relations matters that may arise during
the course of their career.
