The workers united...and found out just
what they had to lose, in Venezuela;
For almost five years, workers from the state-run Orinoco steelmaker Alfredo Maneiro (SIDOR)
have been negotiating a collective agreement with the government, with
no apparent success. Instead, these workers, who once supported the
expropriations of these same industries, now say they have been being
betrayed by the Chavista politburo.
During a press conference
on Wednesday, the president of the National Assembly and vice president
of the PSUV ruling party, Diosdado Cabello, was unimpressed and hit
back. His strong statements toward the trade unions described them as
“mafias.”
For several months now, the unions have led protests and strikes
to force the government to abide by their promises. However, according
to Cabello, the union’s actions are only meant to “affect the company’s
productivity as part of a greater plan to destabilize the country.”
“They are demanding conditions that are impossible to meet,” explained Cabello.
Tell it to the capitalists, guy.
