The president of the Union of Public Employees One of the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana (CVG-SUNEP), Juan Gomez, said the minister-president of the factory, has remained economically strangled the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana. "The workers for several months we have seen and felt with great concern and helplessness as they have been dwindling and disappearing rapidly a number of contractual benefits that were part of the social welfare of the labor of the company," he says.


In turn, Gomez asked how the CVG will give money to Sidor to buy power plants.

This presents a statement issued by the Executive Chairman of Siderurgica del Orinoco "Alfredo Maneiro" Miguel Álvarez Cádiz, to a regional environment, where he claimed that among the plans he has, it has provided to acquire a power plant with capacity 170 MW, two 75 MW and two 50 MW, to provide a total of 420 MW of power, to which he would add 300 MW permitted by Corpoelec, covering the need of all the production lines of Siderurgica del Orinoco.

$ 197 million

It is $ 197 million that was quoted in the budget. Gomez said that Alvarez said was provided by the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana (CVG) to which should pay with a credit line with long-term and 3% of annual production "

Where did the money to fund those CVG $ 197 million, for months if their workers do not receive many benefits are critical, both for themselves and their families? "Asks Juan Gomez and CVG workers.

Prisoners to require uniforms

And since then, generated a new case of criminalization of protest.

The other workers who were deprived of their liberty were identified as Elvis Loran, Adonis and Darwin Centeno Lopez, who were demanding the provision of uniforms, as provided in collective bargaining. Since then, are being tried criminally. "That is the most serious and unprecedented, we have a group of peers who are treated like criminals by requiring that honor contractual commitments and not respond because supposedly there are no resources. From nowhere, a seemingly broken institution, that has no way to respond to their workers, are $ 197 million to Sidor. We are pleased to resolve the problem of the steel plant, said plant to also enjoy stability, but this can not happen behind the workers of our corporation, "said Juan Gomez. GCZ
