I found an article at http://www.nuevaprensa.com.ve/index....

Which I've translated which mentions the CVG. While it does not mention gold mines, it does explain that there are all these labor inequities that need to be worked out. Could it be that the cancelation of all permites etc. was designed to show sincerity towards resolving labor problems first. Makes a lot of sense. Read on.

Faced with the passivity of the various managements of CVG Bauxilum to give concrete solutions to the problems that exist in this labor company, workers decided to take the administrative headquarters to pressure the company After a controversial assembly where workers said they are CVG Bauxilum tired of the administrative irregularities of individual managers of this company, decided to freeze all administrative activities until we achieve that managements face this situation.
The stay of administrative activities and making the administrative headquarters of the company was supported by trade union organizations Sutra-alumina Suprabaux and who realize the trouble to workers immediately requested a meeting with the managements of staff and operations, as well as seeking a meeting with the president of the company.

The union's request was met by the management of this company, bearing in mind that the figure of the president of CVG Bauxilum, Carlos Acosta Perez, was represented by his assistant, who was accompanied by managers and operational staff, Jose Pino and John Chambers, respectively, and a legal consultant of this company.

While on the part of workers, this table discussion was represented by trade union leaders Antonio Rivas, Jose China, Wilfredo Flores, Abelzardo Tata Suprobaux by the union, while by Sutralumina was Jose Sanchez, Rolando Munoz, next to Freddy Suarez of Sutralum as adviser to the union, apart from five employees of this company during the elected assembly workers.

Antonio Rivas, Secretary General Workers' Union Single Professionals CVG Bauxilum, Suprobaux--commented that this unemployment is a result of the arrogance of managers who do not want to listen to workers in their petitions, who rightly demand response in the situation in liabilities labor and irregularities in the listines payment.

He noted that this is evidenced by the long pending payment of labor liabilities, which for more than six months, the company refuses to cancel, even though there are already orders from the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining-of-Mibam being paid these debts economy.

With regard to irregularities in the listines payment, the general secretary of Suprobaux commented that the situation is more delicate because the company has not given an answer why there are so many inconsistencies within the economic payment of wages of some workers. "The company has not responded because the worker earns between more and more work and less draws in their wages, that is incomprehensible and reprehensible in all respects"

Rivas said that the stay on the same was proposed by the bosom of workers in the assembly and that just took place in the administrative areas of the company and not on the ground. "If the company is seeking to stop the plant, not what is going to achieve that we are responsible and not fall into this game"

Solutions on the table

He commented that first would be forming a working committee to review all this formula for calculating pay all the concepts and applying them to see if there is disparity between what it paid and received.

Rivas explained that another committee is reviewing all amounts quantified by management CVG Bauxilum's debt liabilities to all staff working for this company, and which was referred to Mibam. "We will review everything that the company quantified, and that the amount is around 400 million Bolivars Fuertes."
