About 100 people gathered on Monday, September 22, in front of the

Belgian oil worker union activists recently visited Venezuela, witnessing the situation in the Venezuelan trade union movement directly, at PDVSA but also in the wider community, getting a taste of both the advances of the revolution and the problems.
