Now I just want to know what steps the Bolivarian Govt. has taken and will take in future in support of those struggling workers.

the workers have the support of the government, the problem is that the courts are siding with the management (bribes). unfortunately the dispute moved to the labour tribunal. but, the IOSA workers have initiatd a national and international solidarity campaign as they remain in occupation of the factory premises. they hope to generate enough ''street heat'' to force the courts to allow for the occupation to be ''legalised'' as a formal nationalisation.

this is the problem with transitional type situations. the legalistic framework inherited from the past has not been demolished entirely.
Can you inform me some further more about how the workers are assisted during the running of occupied industry from the Government.
