Mérida, July 14, 2022 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan public sector trade unions rallied on Tuesday to demand higher salaries and respect for labor rights. The directive in question overrides a number of collective bargaining rights, including 50 percent cuts to wage bonuses for experience or education level, and flattens salary scales. Tuesday’s mobilization, which gathered hundreds of workers, came on the heels of several similar protests across the country. Public sector pensioners, nurses, teachers and university workers were some of the sectors with a strong presence at the rally. Another union that took part in the march represented workers from SUPRA, the waste management company in Caracas.
