Before referendo approving of the constitutional amendment, the labor tension had gained space in the corridors of the Venezuelan Corporation of Guayana (CVG) and in the inner doors of the basic companies of aluminum.

Commentaries and confused versions on the future immediate of the holding company, as well as of its branchs Alcasa, Carbonorca, Bauxilum and Venalum, maintain anxious to the thousands of workers who toil there.

The new ordering of the State to more recently segment and to group economic activities, as it happened the year last with the National Electrical Corporation (Corpoelec), and with the Iron and steel Corporation of Venezuela, accumulates sinfín of questions on the roll that the Government will assign to the CVG, founded on 1960 with ideario to consolidate a pole of development to the south of the country and to raise a planned city.

When constituting itself the directive body of Corpoelec, in February 2008, the state electrical companies and those that were estatizadas, happened to become their branchs. And Edelca - generating of more than 70% of the electrical energy of country and one of most reliable she was desincorporada of CVG to comprise of the rising Corporation.

Also it happens with Ferrominera Orinoco (main iron mineral producer) and Sidor (first steel mill of the country), that stop belonging to the CVG to be absorbed by the Iron and steel Corporation of Venezuela, according to official decree.

Cecilio Pineda, substitute labor director of CVG, assures that what it has happened with the holding company guayanés is a “desmenbramiento” of the organizational structure and functional of the corporation and it begins to hit in the flow of box of first house, in the labor and industrial conditions and several projects that have been postponed in previous months.

Facts and amount
The separation of Edelca left to the CVG without 13% of its income budgetary, equivalent to 25 million strong bolivars. Nevertheless, it says, the contribution by surpluses of box of Sidor, palliated the deficit left by the electrical one. With the joint exit of FMO and Sidor, the regional organization “will stop perceiving more of BsF 500 million, that represent 40% of the total of the income”, notices the manager. When uniting the resources that these three companies injected to the Corporation, the number reaches to BsF 525 million; that is to say, 53% of the budgetary needs of 2008.

For this year the CVG budget is determine the proportions in BsF 1,248 million, refers.

Empty shell
In addition to these facts already completed, it explains, “one makes sure that the companies aluminum - many of them with balances in red will happen to also conform the Socialist Corporation Aluminums of Venezuela, removing them the CVG”. This new organization would absorb, indicates, to Alcasa - whose destiny does not know Venalum, Carbonorca, Bauxilum, Alunasa, Alucasa and Cabelum, “which would place in greater financial defenselessness to the CVG”.

to take shape that version, that acquires weight in official and unofficial sources, the Corporation would be with small companies that “only generate resources for they themselves”; it is the case of CVG the International, CVG Tecmin, Ferrocasa, Proforca, Conacal and Minerven.

It indicates Pineda that “also is rumored that Minerven would be endorsed to a mining corporation or National the Minera Company”. In such conditions, “it is valid to ask itself what is going to happen with the CVG. They will consider to leave it as an empty shell or what direction will give him”.

Fears and more fears
Juan Go'mez, Secretary General of Sunep CVG maintains that the list of that corporation has 3,000 workers. “We will defend to the CVG because it is our patrimony like guayaneses, she is generating of wealth and use. All the economic activity of the region turns around her”, needs.

“We are worried because the income begin to decrease. It does not have to pay the list of the companies and in 4 months they have not deposited the Bottoms of Savings”, says.
