Among other aspects, salary remuneration, freedom of association, the cessation of the persecution of workers and even the return of expropriated companies and possible modifications to the Organic Labor Law will be discussed with the supervision of the ILO.
Between April 25 and 30, a commission from the International Labor Organization (ILO) will accompany a social dialogue that will be held by employers, workers and authorities of the government of Nicolás Maduro.
The information was confirmed by Jorge Roig, a Venezuelan businessman who is a member of the ILO Board of Directors, who explained that several meetings and various work groups will be held during that week.
First, on April 25, the commission will meet with representatives of the government of Nicolás Maduro. Subsequently, a work table will be set up in which Fedecamaras and the Executive will participate. After this meeting, a tripartite dialogue will take place, once the sector of workers represented by independent unions joins.
This means that Venezuela will have a real tripartite dialogue for the first time in the Maduro administration, since in his government he has always promoted meetings with the different sectors, but only sits down with the unions adhered to Chavismo that usurped the role that labor organizations had. independent.
The presence of the ILO will force Chavismo to maintain the transparency and legitimacy of the talks, or else it will risk the commission making negative observations about the process.
“Finally, a great social dialogue table, in which the government is going to invite other independent associations to discuss the issues that are on the agenda,” said Roig.
The agenda to be addressed is full of issues, since the delay in addressing them by a Government that has ignored companies and workers for more than a decade has accumulated more and more complaints and needs.
Among other aspects, wage compensation, freedom of association, the cessation of the persecution of workers and even the return of expropriated companies and possible modifications to the Organic Law of Labor, Workers and Workers (Lottt) will be discussed. “I think it is a very long agenda, which will last from the 25th to the 30th,” he stated.
Chavismo in check before the ILO
This step takes place almost seven years after Fedecamaras presented, in June 2015, a formal complaint at the International Labor Conference addressing these complaints.
As a result of that complaint, a Commission of Inquiry composed of three independent members was created and established in March 2018. The team made a technical visit to Venezuela the following year and in October 2019 published a report with your conclusions.
The document of the Inquiry Commission highlighted serious flaws and constitutional violations in the actions of the Government, while issuing a series of recommendations that have been ignored by Chavismo until now.
The meeting with the presence of the ILO was accepted by Venezuela in the penultimate Administrative Council of the ILO, a scenario in which the representatives of the Chavista government accepted a resolution in which the international organization would follow up on the implementation of the recommendations.
At the end of March, the Last Board of Directors was held, where it was agreed to present a report on the “processes achieved” in the functioning of the social dialogue forum In Venezuela.
