The public sector was the target of Chavismo to apply its corporate labor model, which it undertook in 2007 with the implementation of a single collective contract in State institutions, which included the reduction of levels and degrees in scales and tabulators and other Labor benefits, union sources said.

The unilateral and arbitrary implementation of the government of the new salary scale became a point of honor for the national workers protest, called for today by the non-official trade union and union organizations and that includes several street actions. The teachers will make banners at the doors of the public schools, while the union of teachers of higher education called a rally in the Plaza del Rectorado of the Central University of Venezuela.

The health workers will protest in front of the hospital centers and those of the National Electric Corporation and the Cantv will congregate at the end of the Libertador avenue in Caracas. A concentration is also planned in front of the headquarters of the Confederation of Workers of Venezuela.

The representative of Mosbase stressed that today's actions will be to demonstrate how President Nicolás Maduro tried to deceive workers by raising the minimum wage from 3 million to 180 million bolívares earlier, that is, from 30 to 1,800 sovereign bolivars a from the 1st of this month.

Different labor sectors demonstrated against

Orlando Alzuru, president of the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers, said that the previous tabulator of the teachers began with more than 8 minimum salaries, but now it is only one of 1,800 bolivars per month. He added that like the rest of the state agencies, the government imposed the table of the instructions that he prepared for the public administration.

Víctor Márquez, of the Association of Professors of the Central University of Venezuela, indicated that the previous tabulator opened with 4.5 minimum salaries, but in the 2 initial payments in September the startup was 1,800 bolivars, in addition to the reductions or omissions of premiums and benefits.

With the instructive, the government disrespected the sectoral collective contracts such as those of the electricity sector and the basic companies of Guayana, whose beginning is 1.5 minimum wages and 16.5% to 25% additional to the minimum wage.

Servando Carbone, leader of the National Union of Workers, denounced that in a meeting on August 31 the Executive gave all the directors of Human Resources of the state organs the instructions with salary scales to "apply them without question".

The union sources consulted criticized "anti-worker positions and government defense" of labor leaders, but they belonged before to opposition parties.

President of the socialist workers union of PDVSA

Wills Rangel, president of the Bolivarian Socialist Workers Federation and the National Federation of Oil Workers of Venezuela, declared on September 10: "It is time for a single table or a single salary scheme to be made in the country in accordance with the qualities and knowledge of each person ".

Personal opinion

What is happening with the salary tables of public employees was seen coming from a year ago, PDVSA no longer has enough income to pay for these expenses plus social assistance that consumes the entire budget of the Venezuelan oil company.

Just as these benefits were eliminated to their own employees, so it will be in the future when the delivery of social aid to the people is eliminated.

The opinion of union leader Will Rangel does not surprise me because this guy is one of those who has been profiting from PDVSA for several years by implementing a mafia union.
