Yes to workers' control, yes to
peasants' control, yes to control by the communal councils!
The revolution must go forward!

No to the eviction of the workers
of occupied factory INAF
The owner of Industria Nacional de
Artículos de Ferretería (Inaf) has threatened to evict
the workers from the factory on August 30th, 2008. The workers were
forced to occupy the factory in August 2006, in order to defend their
jobs and their families' livelihoods. The workers were responding
to the sabotage of the owner. The workers of Inaf are an example for
the working class, nationally and internationally. They have proven
that workers can manage the factories and that workers' control is
alive as part of the Bolivarian Revolution. Workers' control is a
fundamental part of taking the revolution towards genuine socialism.

Yes to restarting production at
Inveval
The workers of Inveval (a company
expropriated by the Bolivarian government in 2005) have successfully
managed the company under workers control, recovering the whole of
the machinery and infrastructure. However they are missing the raw
materials (valve bodies) which used to be provided by Acerven (a
company that has been shut down since the bosses' lockout in 2003).
In order to be able to supply the oil industry with new valves,
Acerven must also be expropriated and put to work under workers
control.
-
There are other companies that were
also occupied by the workers and are now facing similar difficulties.
The bosses are sabotaging the country's
economy, hoarding basic foodstuffs, closing down companies, making
workers redundant, increasing the exploitation of workers, etc.
For all the above reasons we demand:
-
The expropriation of INAF under
workers control in order to build a genuine socialist company.
-
The expropriation of Acerven under
workers control so that Inveval can supply PDVSA with valves.
-
The expropriation of Transporte MDS
under workers control
-
The expropriation of Franelas
Gotcha
We are making a solidarity appeal to
Communal Councils, PSUV Battalions, Trade Unions, Peasant Movements,
Cooperatives, and revolutionary organisations. We must unite in
struggle to take our revolution to socialism.
For the expropriation of Inaf, Acerven,
Transporte MDS, Franelas Gotcha, under workers control.
For workers control in the nationalised
industries like Sidor, Cementeras Lafarge, Cemex and Holcim, EDC and
CANTV.
For the setting up of Factory and
Workers Councils.
We must struggle for:
-
Decent living conditions for
workers
-
Shortening of the working week
-
Against the exploitation of
workers
-
Socialism under the control of the
workers and the people
