"Election Day in Caracas went by in a whir of activity, reports, discussions, neighborhoods visited, fireworks and rain. Since then, we’ve had a chance to sit back and discuss the day’s events and come to some general conclusions." Read John Peterson's new blog entry on the Hands Off Venezuela site or on the HoV blog.
The workers of Sanitarios Maracay are in the
forefront of the struggle for workers’ control, nationalisation and socialism
in Venezuela.
Unfortunately one wing of the UNT led by Maspero is supporting a yellow union
in the company, and another wing led by Chirino recently came up with the idea
of finding another capitalist to run the factory. This is an appeal to these
UNT leaders to rethink their positions and rally round the workers in struggle.
