The Short
Guardian Media says remaining Nutrien workers at Point Lisas are receiving retrenchment letters and have until 9 November to consider severance offers. Nutrien’s own October notice confirmed an indefinite shutdown, but no current company notice reviewed confirms the letter timetable.
The Full Story
Nutrien announced on 5 October that it would indefinitely shut its Trinidad nitrogen operations after a review, citing natural-gas constraints and uncertainty. Its earlier controlled shutdown began in October 2025.

Guardian Media reported on Monday 2 November that letters were being issued to remaining workers at Point Lisas, with 9 November given as the deadline to accept severance packages. That timetable comes from the newsroom report, not a letter or current Nutrien statement reviewed by Luk It Hyah.
The reported letters mark a possible next stage in the shutdown for employees. No individual severance terms, final headcount or accepted offers have been independently established. The earlier company announcement supports the decision to shut operations; it does not itself verify the later letter distribution.
