University unions put pressure on Lucena to pay

University unions put pressure on Lucena to pay

The Federation of Associations of University Professors of Venezuela convened an Extraordinary Assembly of Professors, as well as a day of protest with a press conference on August 1, due to the non-cancellation of vacation bonuses


Since March, there have been protests by public workers against the instructional Onapre in Caracas and several cities in the interior of the republic.

In May, workers from the educational sectors (with professionals and workers from the country’s universities at the forefront), health, government entities, ministries and autonomous institutes, gathered in front of the headquarters of the Vice Presidency, in downtown Caracas, to demand the repeal of the instructions, pointing out that it destroys the salary increase decreed by the Executive, as well as the agreements signed in August 2021.

This Saturday, July 30, the Association of Professors of the University of Zulia (LUZ) issued a statement denouncing the situation being experienced by the teaching and research staff of the university and the many insults to which they are exposed.

In the letter, the board of directors indicates that the staff calls on the university authorities to join in the legal demands that have been initiated by different study houses in the country against the resolutions imposed by the National Executive through the instructive of the National Budget Office (Onapre).

In this sense, they point out that it is necessary for the university to exercise its full function as employer of the teaching staff, as well as to remember that the Association of Professors of the study house did not participate in the review for a call for face-to-face or distance classes.

The letter also makes it clear that the teachers who are currently working in the study house do so by their own decision, “as heroes who support the institution in its darkest moment.”

For her part, the Minister of Higher University Education, Tibisay Lucena, had indicated during a National Council of Universities that by Friday, July 29, information related to the payment of the vacation bonus would be presented.

In this sense, Pablo Martínez, a professor at the University of Zulia, denounced that Lucena did not attend the scheduled meeting.

Teachers in one voice

On July 21, the president of the Association of University Professors of the Central University of Venezuela (Apucv), Víctior Márquez, denounced that the resources that are entering the country are invested in decorations “when people are having a hard time,” so he stressed that this money should be put into security, health, education and living conditions.

“The government invests more in flags, pieces of paper, in an Indian who seems more like a figure that is pitiful (…) that is why more than ever the fight is in the street,” he emphasized.

For weeks, public workers and various unions have taken to the streets to protest against the salarization of bonuses and other restrictions that the instructive Onapre makes to their salaries.

The Federation of Associations of University Professors of Venezuela (FAPUV) published on its Twitter account this Saturday, that by virtue of the fact that the cancellation of the Vacation or Recreational Bonus has not been made effective, on August 1 an Extraordinary Assembly of Teachers, as well as a day of protest with a press conference

On Friday, July 15, it was learned that the Political-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) admitted two lawsuits seeking to annul the recent instructions from the National Budget Office (Onapre).

The lawsuits seek to annul this instruction called “adjustment process of the public administration remuneration system, collective agreements, special tables and strategic companies”.
