2010-05-20 20:22:52 – The new Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) board assembled outside the gates of Alcasa to hear and support their colleague, Elio Sayago as he addressed workers at the company gates.

VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O’Donoghue reports:

Sayago is the newly appointed president of the Alcasa aluminum state company. During his address, he insisted on highlighting the importance of corresponsibility between workers and directors to end old structures.

According to a report in the opposition Correo del Caroni, the workers have mostly accepted Sayago’s appointment but wanted to hear what he

had to say on passive liabilities, benefits and the food tokens.

Sayago promised more worker participation and power in the heavy industry but did not enter into the matter of liabilities and benefits.

Those interviewed by El Correo afterwards criticized Sayago’s discourse, saying he did not say anything about how the company will get back on its feet again.

Union mafias are putting their bets on government inability or unwillingness to pay huge liabilities and benefits and they remain engaged in sabotaging any attempt to set up worker committees and worker control. They have the full support of the local oligarchy and their media.

When Carlos Lanz Rodriguez was president two years ago, he organized a successful worker control initiative that was torpedoed by the union mafia who practically ran Lanz Rodriguez out of town.
