Well said MOM,
Just goes to show that what Rusoro has been saying about "Partner of Choice" really is not the case based on an employee from Minerven who is supposedly part of the CVG/Minerven-Rusoro Venrus.
I looked through a few old articles back from Aug and this guys name (Jesus Guerra) popped as being the instigator of the Sanz gag order. Here is one of those articles:

"This is the only state enterprise that guarantees them jobs to the inhabitants of the sector where it operates," he said.
Also, Guerra recalled a report by the Legislative Council lifted the state of Bolivar (Cleber), naming the multiple penalties for violation of human rights, labor and union and administrative corruption, applied to ex-president who now serves as president of the Venezuelan Institute of Social Security (IVSS) - Carlos Rotondaro, on which "despite the notorious, was kept a silence pimps, to protect these bandits who did harm to workers and the heritage of the republic" .
The labour leader said that rape-by-union clauses of at least 46 layoffs were made during such management, as well as the withholding of wages due to discrepancies between workers and managers.
He denounced, besides the "close relationship" that the former president contended with transnational companies: "This is the case with the company ECLA, reported that only 154 kilograms of gold monthly and gaps tail of the plant debris were 20 grams , Meaning that they produce a lot more than they reported. Then raised modify the contract for which they were granted indefinitely, "pointed War.
Minister "misinformed"
The labor representatives issued a call to the holder of Mibam, Rodolfo Sanz, to discriminate their sources of information in order to avoid taking decisions harmful to both the presidency of the mining company to the Ministry since, as asserted, transnational corporations, "the group Rusoro agape, sees these two entities as enemies because they fear expropriation."
He urged the minister to recall the reception that won in his first visit to El Callao, "when slogans were defended," Chavez yes, Sanz no longer consider collusion of government officials who benefit from the transnationals and "misinformation" even the President of the Republic, trying conducive to these "latifundistas miners at the end of the road will act against them."
Similarly, Jesus Sanz War recommended that the minister "not to be fooled" about the future of the mine Crystallex, a company that claim, has grown "to the ribs of strategic wealth of the nation."

Camilo Torres, union leader of CVG-Minerva, explained that in the process of selling the precious metal to the Central Bank of Venezuela, the company receives a penalty of 1.5 percent, despite the fact that working with an official price of a dollar, while other companies to price freely traded, thus minimizing revenue can be earmarked for the care of social problems in the community.
He cited the words of President Chavez in a broadcast of Aló President: "In Minerva everything goes under strict supervision and control."
And what better wage?
Camilo Torres, director of labor and secretary of the organization Employees' Union (always), asked the minister promised Sanz response on the improvement in wage policy for workers, under the same "little to earn the activity perform. "
