A civil association known as Gente del Petróleo (“People of Oil”) has reaffirmed its support for the Unapetrol union leadership, representing approximately 23,000 workers dismissed from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (Pdvsa) in 2002 and 2003. The group emphasized the importance of a unified strategy in anticipation of potential governmental changes in Venezuela. This backing demonstrates continued solidarity amongst those affected by the prior dismissals. Gente del Petróleo is advocating for collective action and maintaining a cohesive front as they navigate the evolving political landscape. The association’s statement, published by EL NACIONAL, underscores their ongoing commitment to the rights and interests of the affected Pdvsa workers. They are hoping for an opportunity to renegotiate terms or seek restitution following a shift in power.
