Workers Unions of Zulia state of the sector of contractors and services of the oil company (UNIONS: Sintrapez, Sinutrapetrol, Fedepetrol, Sintraip, Siptipcm, Sitramcol, Simprobioez, Stpez, Soep Tia Juana, Soep Bachaquero) conformed a union commission that threatens to take the next Friday the facilities from those companies contractors who continue denying the right to work.

Juan Cahuao, president of Sintrapez alleged that they have visited each Gate and each Port, "demanding our right to work, with some positive results, nevertheless, still several bosses refuse to open, for that reason, this Thursday will be a march in which all the workers of the COL will participate.

The destiny of this march will be the port of Zulima in Lagunillas and the purpose is requesting Pdvsa that gets committed with wages, with the labor liabilities and that PDVSA send a legal ultimatum to the companies that does not want to open".

Actions of street actions and of continuous dialogue have obtained the reactivation of a 35% of the area of production and segregation, the problems presents -according to Carlos Labrador, Secretary General of Sitramcol-, in the part of perforation and aquatic operations, which forces us to restrict the workings to only light crude extraction and production of some derivates. "Is lamentable that the State is losing around 4 billion bolivars because some persons includes Pdvsa in political matters and wants to use it as springboard to remove the President" added.
