Venezuela transportation unions meet today: Work stoppage now or die a slow death

Fedetransporte: Today we decide if we stop altogether or continue working and we hope to die
January 30, 2018

ND / Jan 30, 2018.- Fedetransporte's secretary of organization, José Sánchez, said on Tuesday that it is not a transport stoppage as such, but the holding of an assembly with all the federation's members to decide the actions that they will take before the crisis that crosses the sector with lack of spare parts and even lubricants.

"We are between 10% and 15% of the fleet that provides service. Given this situation, which is already collapse, today we have convened a large national assembly here at the headquarters of Fedetrasporte in El Paraíso with all the union representatives of all the states of the country to decide definitively what is what we are going to do Either we stop completely or we continue working and we hope to die, "he said in The Force is the Union , which transmits RCR .

Sanchez stressed that that is going to decide today the Assembly under the tutelage of all its members "depending on whether it is a collegial decision, agreed, and not taken as they are accustomed to do as a guarimba to overthrow the Government."

Well well well... seems that Chavismo's brand of Socialism has lost the unions. The workers aren't getting paid... when they are getting paid, it is in worthless Bolivars, and they cannot get spare parts, let alone gas and oil in the country with the worlds largest proven oil reserves.

!Viva Chavez! iViva la Revolucion!
