Venepal Workers Solidarity Appeal


Further to the information - http://www.marxist.com/Latinam/venepal.htm
we published on the occupation of Venepal paper mill in Venezuela by its workers, we have received a request for solidarity action. The workers are appealing for an international campaign demanding the nationalisation under workers control of this important industry.

Solidarity messages can be sent to:

rowanjimenez [at] hotmail.com and venezuela [at] elmilitante.org

Send messages also to the Venezuelan authorities asking for the
nationalisation of Venepal under workers control. A model resolution in
Spanish can be found at the end of this article:
http://venezuela.elmilitante.org/index.asp?id=muestra&id_art=1301 but you can use your own words. Messages should be sent to:

Presidencia de la República: presidencia [at] venezuela.gov.ve
Ministerio de Trabajo: dgtrabajo [at] mintra.gov.ve
Fax del Ministerio de la Presidencia: + 58 2122638179

again with copies to rowanjimenez [at] hotmail.com and venezuela [at] elmilitante.org

Raise donations from trade union organisation for the hardship fund of the workers. The best way to send the money is if this is channeled through the local Hands Off Venezuela campaigns in different countries. In cases where this might not be possible, donations can be sent directly to the Venepal
union (SUTIP) bank account: Cuenta de Ahorro 0108-0125-71-0200359704 del Banco Provincial, SUTIP
