PDVSA’s all-powerfull President Ali Rodriguez announced this morning that it had fired four of its top four manager’s including the President of the white-collar worker’s union (never recognized by the Government), its civil association, the President of the petrochemical affiliate Pequiven and a Human Resources manager. The reaction by the workers was swift, within two hours they were holding a worker’s meeting where they are now saying they will join the strike not as individuals but as PDVSA workers. They are calling for the resignation of Ali Rodriguez and Hugo Chavez.
While Rodriguez did say that the President of Pequiven was only removed from his post, other sources say he has also been fired.
