The workers protested outside the silos in the Paseo Simón Bolívar
The discussion of the collective bargaining agreement, salary increases of 70 percent and other work benefits, demanded on Friday the workers of the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana (CVG), attached to the Silos Bolívar, located in the Paseo Simon Bolivar in the capital bolivarense .

The employees were stationed in front of tanks or storage of maize to claim their rights and express their dissatisfaction with the position he has held management CVG.

The secretary of the Trade Union of Workers of the CVG (Sutra-CVG), Miguel Medina, said that the collective conversion which brings a thousand 400 workers two years have expired, without having answers to requests to senior management.

"We have sent communication to Minister Jose Khan, the vice president of CVG, Haydee Valenzuela, and until now we have not received answers," said union leader, who noted that inflation has eaten up the wages of workers.

CVG magnifier
He said that while there are workers who barely earn a daily wage of 40 Bs, top management perceives wages up 17 000 500 bolivars, within a salary scale disproportionately. "We demand that President Chavez will finish the magnifying glass to the top management of CVG, because it seems like your socialist discourse has come where we talk about fairness, equality and welfare for workers," said Medina.

For the secretary of claim Sutra-CVG, Angel Perales, the protest is a continuation of a series of demonstrations that have taken place to demand their rights. They cautioned that while running their work, do not preclude a stay of the plants.

"We're going to let CVG that we will not stand idly by and not let us kneel before the patron," he said Perales. Added that will run the entire geography of the state Assembly to invite the workers not to be intimidated and join the labor struggle.

The union leader reported that staff has been undergoing a steady job terrorism. He noted that employees are forced to attend events proselytizing of socialism under threat of dismissal and harassment.

Calling

Silos workers also demand higher wages, increased bond supply (Cestaticket), a decent retirement plan, and compliance with the contributions of housing benefit.

This labor force said they will proceed with their claims until the discussion of a new collective agreement. "We want justice for more than 100 parents are now thrown into the street," said Angel Perales, referring to the unjustified layoffs of hundreds of workers, who for more than 30 years gave him a piece of his life to the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana, without any social security and without the payment of social benefits.
