Sidor workers are asking for improved salaries as well as the reinstatement of health insurance and collective bargaining rights. Since last Monday, hundreds of Sidor workers have walked out from their posts in the large-scale industrial complex in Ciudad Guayana, Bolívar state. They have blocked the local highway every day and urged the company to address a number of labor issues. “We want fair wages, we want our vacation bonuses and social benefits paid, as well as collective bargaining rights.” On Friday, the government reportedly appointed a commission to set up a negotiating table with Sidor worker representatives.
