National representatives of the Federation of University Workers, Fetraesuv, presented this Wednesday, November 6, a series of claims from all higher education institutions to the Ministry of University Education, reported Maydoly Villegas, Secretary of Organization of the Association of University Employees. the University of Los Andes, AEULA.
From the ULA, we present our claims in relation to salaries, socioeconomic benefits and health care for Hospitalization, Surgery and Maternity, HCM, explained the Ulandina union leader.
The HCM situation is delicate, because although there is a new insurance, it only attends to emergencies, leaving workers who require surgical intervention, pharmacy services or specialized studies without attention, explained Villegas, who regretted that the workers who requested reimbursements from Seguros Constitución in the corresponding times, they have not had answers and it is not known if they will.
Regarding salaries and social benefits, it is critical, salaries do not cover the needs of workers and retirees since 2012 do not receive the corresponding compensation, while late payment in the IVSS continues. Likewise, what is withheld from the unions is not reaching the institutions, making the activities that must be carried out difficult.

**Interview with Yanara Vivas, National Representative, Fetraesuv**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Yanara. Could you elaborate on the current challenges that university workers are facing regarding their health coverage, specifically the issues with the new insurance plan?
**Yanara Vivas:** Certainly. The new health insurance plan only addresses emergencies, which leaves many workers vulnerable, especially those who require surgery or specialized care. This gap in coverage is a significant concern for us.
**Interviewer:** It sounds quite alarming. What actions are the university workers considering to address these issues with wages and benefits?
**Yanara Vivas:** We are actively voicing our claims to the Ministry of University Education, emphasizing the urgency of improving salaries and ensuring that socio-economic benefits meet the basic needs of our members.
**Interviewer:** Given the longstanding neglect of salary adjustments since 2012, could this situation lead to a larger movement among university workers?
**Yanara Vivas:** Absolutely. The frustration among workers is palpable. If our demands continue to be overlooked, we may see a stronger collective response, which could include strikes or other forms of protest.
**Interviewer:** This raises an important question for our readers: If you were in the shoes of the university workers, would you support a strike or protest to demand better wages and healthcare? How do you think this could impact the education sector and the workers themselves? Let’s hear your thoughts!
