You can usually tell when a leftist leader has gone bad by when the Unions turn on him.

1. Workers have seen what's happened in other nationalizations

The State promises many things to them but then refuses to treat them as other public workers. No collective contracts, no salary indexation to the inflation, etc.
In Guayana (steel, aluminum, hydroelectricity) and around Maracaibo lake (oil company's contractors), the unions have been complaining all year.
