Workers close Heinz plant in Venezuela http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_62184.shtml

A plant run by Heinz in the state of Carabobo, north central Venezuela, was shut down by workers, who demanded the signing of their collective bargaining agreement. "The company believes that we are still living the era of (Juan Vicente) Gómez (a Venezuelan ruler from 1908 to 1935) and believes that workers are going to live on VEB 10 or 15 a day (USD 2.30-3.50)," said union leader Edison García.
