[I think it is very important to have Chávez' anti-worker, anti-union remarks
on the record, in view of the January 29 murder of two workers in
Anzoátegui state, Venezuela, by the police of that state, which has a
chavista Governor. The workers killed by the cops were Javier Marcano,
36, and Pedro Suárez, 23. They were participating in the workers'
occupation of the Mitsubishi plant in Barcelona, in Anzoátegui state.
Another worker, Alexander García, from the Mitsubishi plant, was seriously
injured in the chest, and at least six other workers were injured. The cop
attack on the workers at the Mitsubishi plant is the first time that workers
have been killed by the bourgeois Venezuelan state, headed by Chávez.

Chavez's words are a declaration of war against the workers, according to
Orlando Chirino and CCURA who reject Chavez's declarations of
President Chavez on the threat of strike by metalworkers.
March 9, 2009 A few hours ago President Chavez made a speach relating
to the building of the foundations of a metal factory in Guayana in which
he threatened the workers of the aluminum sector who are making salary
and labor demands.
He warned the labor unions of this sector that he would "not tolerate
sabotage" making reference to the threat of a work stoppage made by
several unions in this sector. "If they don't approve of this or that, they
shut down the factory. This is sabotage...we will not tolerate it."
The President called on the police intelligence DISIP and DIM to carry out
the necesssary intelligence to defend the factory.
He affirmed that he was not afraid of a work stoppage, and added: "I
confronted the petroleum stoppage (PDVSA). Nothing can be more
serious. I'm tested in this kind of war....you are going to have to take it
because you are confronting me directly."
He concluded: "Anyone who stops work at a state enterprise, is facing the
Head of the State."
