The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, announced this Thursday that he is regarding to sign an alliance with an investor that will put “bill and technology” into the Orinoco Steel Company (Sidor).
Given this, Reinaldo Calvo, coordinator of the General Council of Departmental Delegates of Sutiss, commented that he agrees with regard to the investments that have to be made.
“For the economic adaptation, for the purchase and acquisition of spare parts, for the activation of Sidor’s productive apparatus, since it is very deserving, the company needs a lot of investment (…)”, he said.
He indicated that this would be the best way to produce in Venezuela, in the state and in Sidor, which needs the raw material for the development of the nation’s economic apparatus.
He emphasized that for this to be achieved, the reactivation of all workers is needed, “for two years we have been asking the President of the Republic to reactivate our jobs,” said the Sutiss coordinator.
For his part, the trade unionist, José Meléndez, agrees with the Executive’s announcement.
“Every time there is a pronouncement by President Nicolás Maduro, it is from the perspective of true, leading and participatory re-impulsion,” he said.
Meléndez added that Sidor’s parent company is temple, strength and industrialization “downstream”, “from there is born the automotive, agricultural development, the industrialization of the railways, from Sidor the new homeland is built.”
Possible privatization
Calvo pointed out that workers must be very careful and be alert to possible privatization.
“He (Maduro) did not give further details on what the investment would be like, we as workers do not want a new privatization, we gave a great titanic fight with the transnationals,” he said.
Reinaldo Calvo made a call to the national president, who agrees with all the necessary investments for Sidor, but not with a privatization.
Like Calvo, Meléndez agrees that he does not want Sidor to be privatized.
“We do not want outsiders, financial resources that mortgage us. We don’t want an anarchic posture in workers’ heaven,” he said.
What they are looking for is a social, political and human accompaniment that ratifies what the workers want.
