VHeadline Venezuela News reports: Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) subsidiary CVG-Minerven labor organizer and United Gold Workers (Sinpro) union secretary general Camilo Torres says that Minerven president, Luis Herrera Mendoza, must be brought to book over his failure to settle redundancy liabilities to some 43 employees as well as retirement benefits and pensions to 52 more.
Speaking to local newspaper Correo del Caroni, Torres says that social justice has not yet reached the southern Bolivar state, specifically in the state-owned mining community, despite the fact that it all belongs to the state-owned heavy industry conglomerate and is demanding similar wage deals to other workers in the CVG.
As it is, 43 pensioners receive just the minimum wage even though a pre-agreement on the draft collective wages agreement summarized that pension should be based on average wages for the last year of employment. Rorres says it immediately questions labor stability at CVG-Minerven and its liabilities to workers paid the minimum wage as opposed to other companies where they can earn substantially more. A 70-80% salary increase has been generally recognized for active CVG employees but Minerva persists in paying only the minimum wage.
The CVG-Minerven president has been asked to adjust pensions and to recognize social security coverage effective with the current Law on Pension and other regulations concerning the reinstatement of several employees from when Herrera Mendoza took over the presidency of the company in May 2008. Torres also asks that the hiring of 24 cooperatives is seen by his trade union as "alarming" since other financial arrangements could apply ... "Herrera Mendoza should be careful what he does with CVG-Minerven finances to keep the company alive ... it is important that he should hire local employees and NOT outsiders."

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
