About this and about the benefits that Chavez spoke about retirement in the "revolutionary process," a retired Sidor complained how they have handled this benefit in the steel, but on this point only the President proceeded to take notes.

There was no reference to the liabilities that are working with workers, even when in the same fund Chinese-Venezuelan-until 2008 - 300 million dollars only for the payment of labor liabilities of four companies of aluminum.
