PdVSA (VZ) union membership outraged at new collective contract... negotiated unilaterally

"It's a scam": PDVSA workers rejected new collective contract
The Cooperator


Caracas, March 22 / Referential photo.- The majority of PDVSA's payroll is not happy with the recent signing of the new collective contract for workers.

The executive director of the Unitary Federation of Oil Workers of Venezuela (FUTPV), Eudis Girot, told Noticiero Digital that "everyone is upset and disappointed. This latest announcement has caused great indignation in the oil sector. The workers consider it a mockery, a scam."

In the new agreement, an increase in salary was established, which went from Bs 20 thousand to Bs 59 thousand daily, that is, the adjustment was only Bs 39 thousand bolivars. "With that you can not buy anything. That new salary in PDVSA does not even reach two eggs. The worst thing is that this increase will continue for the next two years. In total, we increased 180%, but if you take the account of what we will earn per month, you will see that it is still a miserable salary, of hunger," Girot added.

On the food bonus, he was also outraged, as he indicated that he did not suffer any adjustment. Faced with this situation, Girot announced that they will collect signatures to disregard the agreements of this new collective agreement, which was announced by the president of FUTPV, Wills Rangel.

The rubrics will be consigned in Caracas to the Ministry of Labor, the Prosecutor's Office, the Comptroller's Office, the Ombudsman's Office and the PDVSA board of directors. "Wills Rangel must be dismissed from the leadership of PDVSA and the presidency of FUTPV, because he used those charges to fill privileges. It is the culprit of this tragedy and the wages of hunger, destroyed the collective contract and placed the workers and their families in the abyss of misery," he said.

This is what happens to REAL people when the new oligarchy (Bolivarian Socialists) foists its will upon the workers. In the last 2 years, the Bolivar has lost 99.6% of its value... and now this contract for the next two years will bring... what?

There was no vote by the rank and file... only a backroom back-slap between the boss and his toady (Rangel) from the union. WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF HIS MEMBERSHIP.
