First Company affected by economic changes of the Government
The Venezuelan subsidiary of Chinese tire manufacturer Pirelli paralyzed its operations on Monday after presenting problems due to lack of raw materials, its workers announced.
The Pirelli plant, which is one of the three manufacturers operating in the country, awoke with closed doors, Luis Álvarez, general secretary of the union of the company. Several dozen workers gathered at the entrance to the plant, located in the central state of Carabobo, to protest the measure and demand the opening of the facility.
Some 860 people work at the company.
Alvarez said that since the end of last week "the raw material was exhausted", which led to the suspension of operations.
On at least three occasions during this year Pirelli suspended activities temporarily due to lack of raw materials, but this is the first time that the stoppage has taken place without prior agreement with the union, Álvarez said.
The company so far has not offered comments on the situation of the plant.
Alvarez said that government representatives initiated contacts with the company's managers to achieve the reopening of the plant, which until the middle of the year reached a production of some 51,943 units, which represent about 7% of its capacity.
Álvarez, Pirelli did not have raw material to work, but it was never agreed to a closure of the company and that it claimed "can not pay neither the dining room nor transportation" so they deduce that they will not be able to pay the new minimum wage decreed by the head of state, Nicolás Maduro, in 1,800 sovereign bolívares (Bs.S) as of September 1.
They fall apart
In Venezuela, after the economic announcements of Nicolas Maduros, many shops remain closed, what is their motive? then do not know how to pay the salaries of employees with products that the Government wants to keep at very low prices.
Assassinating the capitals of entrepreneurs, traders and entrepreneurs since a 3-month subsidy does not guarantee the maintenance of functions of these premises, weekly tax payments and an increase in income tax has more than one company like PIRELLI in jake.
