VHeadline Venezuela News reports: Sunep-CVG and Sural trade unions at the state-owned Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) aluminum processing subsidiary, CVG-Bauxilum are demanding the presence of Basic Industries & Mining (Mibam) Minister Rodolfo Sanz (who also CVG corporate president & CEO) at an 11.00 a.m. meeting today although there is little prospect that either he (Sanz) or 'interim' CVG-Bauxilum president Alfredo Arcila will show their faces.
Juan Gomez, secretary general of Sunep-CVG has told the regional newspaper Correo del Caroni that Minister Sanz should give his personal attention to the crisis which he, Comez, insists is out of control because of a breakdown in the subsidiary's management structure ... "We want Minister Sanz to meet with us, NOT with his so-called advisers -- he must take his executive responsibilities seriously!"
At issue is a string of corporate debts that are already two years overdue. On the labor side it is a question of labor liabilities, failure to make evaluation improvements, travel time and the misuse of company finances.
CVG employees are already gathering outside CVG headquarters this morning demanding what they call "a positive response from the minister" as to their demands. "We're not going to accept any more delays ... we know that President Chavez will be here in Guayana today and we do not want any more excuses."
Sural-CVG secretary general says he is concerned over the management gag-order on information from the company and the Labor Inspectorate, which has been involved in protracted negotiations. "We can only be concerned how management so openly violates labor rights and refuses to allow access to the Labor Inspectorate, which is responsible for ensuring the benefits and rights of the workers. We need to bring a stop to their continued violations of the Labor Act."
CVG-Bauxilum unions wholly reject management claims that there is a linkage between their situation and opposition efforts to win the November 23 local and regional elections ... "this is NOT political, our only desire is to NOT have to go on strike to force our demands but, if this is the step we must to follow, so be it. We cannot stand idly by as the company negates contractual benefits which must be respected and fulfilled ... that is why we are fighting for our rights."
