Although the interim appointment of Arcila has not yet been made official, there is rising discontent among the already discontented labor force in the absence of how the CVG subsidiary plans conduct consultations with trade union leaders to resolve imminent lay-offs.
The unions reject abrupt changes in the middle of a production emergency since it is clear that what Bauxilum needs is to establish a cleat direction and to establish common management rules in agreement with labor representatives.
Antonio Rivas, general secretary of CVG Bauxilum Suprobaux union says the executive hiring and firing is "arbitrary and irresponsible" in the wake of a 36-hour (non-union) production stoppage in which 14,000 tonnes of alumina production was lost under severe operational conditions."
CVG-Bauxilum employee Jose Garcia, quoted in regional morning newspapers, Wednesday, said that, after a meeting of the board of directors it was announced only that Herrera Jimenez was replaced by CVG vice president, Alfredo Arcila. "Our workers are annoying because we can not see anything funny om the industry's predicament ... they change presidents every day as if they were playing a game of monopoly ... Bauxilum has serious operational problems, and produces less and less and, if we hold a protest strike for more than 24 hours, they say that it is we who are in the wrong!"
"Industrial action should not be the expected route to resolve ourWhat will now happen to Herrera Jimenez is unknown but the reasons being touted this Wednesday morning are that it's all down to a "clash of power" between senior regional executives ... on September 11, it was reported that changes had been made in the management at both CVG-Venalum and CVG-Bauxilum on instructions from Mibam Minister and CVG president, Rodolfo Sanz.
discontent ... we are not defending people, but rather a company that must
continue operating for years to come and conditions that affect more than two
thousand employees!"
Lt. Col. Hector Herrera Jimenez, president of Bolivarian Civil-Military Front was appointed to head CVG-Bauxilum just 12 days ago, apparently over the head of Minister Sanz by Vice President Ramon Carrizales.
At that juncture, the unions were already up in arms since it is increasingly apparent that CVG subsidiary managers have no guarantee that they will hold their jobs down for more than a year and, as a result there is no security in the execution of their predecessors' business plans ... the workers say "the executive carousel only generates more improvisations and disorganization."
Suprobaux' Rivas says that ANY administrative change means that past work plans and those that have already been implemented, face administrative paralysis while the new manager gets his feet under the table. He says that a least Herrera Jimenez knew the chaotic situation in which CVG-Bauxilum had found itself but that now there will be further delays until the new president has had his appointment officially recorded in the Gaceta Oficial.
