Lacteos Los Andes workers close the Barquisimeto Cabudare intercom



This Thursday and for the second consecutive day, workers of the Dairy Los Andes company have closed the Intercomunal Barquisimeto Cabudare, as a measure of protest to the lack of government responses to the strike that takes place in the company.

From early morning hours the workers continued the protest that began this Wednesday closing the road just in front of the company's facilities located in the Av. Intercomunal Barquisimeto Cabudare.

The intention of the protest is the intervention of the government in the situation of unemployment that the company lives. The workers want the production to be reactivated in the plant.

Members of the Bolivarian National Guard observe the protest in the distance without intervening in it.

Backstory: Lacteos was FORMERLY a thriving private company that was nationalized (confiscated) by Chavismo when the company couldn't get access to foreign supplies (due to lack of REAL currency) and had to shutter. Because it was illegal for this company to not be in business (by Chavista dictate!) Chavismo "gave" the company to "the workers"... and now that the workers owned the means of production... they STILL COULDN'T PRODUCE because they STILL COULDN'T GET ACCESS TO RAW MATERIALS.

Ergo, the worker owned enterprise produces nothing, and it is illegal for them to not be paid. So they get paid the national minimum wage ($1-2 per month and decreasing) by Chavismo. Problem being, the Bolivar is worthless (approaching 250,000 BsF to the US dollar) and there is no food on the grocery shelves even if they COULD afford the food. (nearly all imported)

It takes 117 monthly minimum wages to buy food for the month.
