Labor Defense Forum prepares massive claims against wage dispossession and miscalculation of social benefits

The Labor Defense Forum (Fodela) in Venezuela's Guayana region is preparing mass complaints against wage theft and miscalculated social benefits for workers of state-owned basic industries, including retirees with decades of service receiving less than $2,000.

Fodela is systematizing data and preparing collective denunciations for wage theft and miscalculated benefits.

Over 500 affected workers have been registered, with cases from companies like Alcasa and Sidor.

Retirees with 30-40 years of service received social benefits under $2,000.

Fodela plans to take claims to international organizations due to lack of response from Venezuelan institutions.
