Venezuelan labor unions to continue peaceful protests
http://www.eluniversal.com/nacional-y-politica/140724/venezuelan-labor-unions-to-continue-peaceful-protestsAbout 2,000 workers from 55 labor unions of several sectors voiced disagreement with criminalization of protest in north central Carabobo state.
Julio Polanco, representative of the United Federation of Bolivarian Labor Unions of Carabobo (Fusbec) rejected the fact they were labeled "counterrevolutionary" for making labor claims. He said that most people who are protesting know, supported expropriations back in the day. He asked the government to pay attention to increasing dissatisfaction among workers, before it is too late and becomes "a time bomb."
The spokesman of Fusbec rebuked the attacks against workers for being at odds with the management of enterprises, for claiming better labor benefits, and ever for trying to establish labor unions.
