“You can’t go against a government that is working towards the equal distribution of the riches amongst its people and where the collective interest prevails over the individual’s interests…that’s called social justice.” - Leroy Trotman The International Labor Organization (ILO) on Wednesday denied a request by Venezuela’s largest business association, Fedecamaras, to launch an ILO inquiry into supposed violations of rights in Venezuelan.According to Marcela Máspero, president of Venezuela’s National Workers’ Union (UNETE), an ILO Commission of Inquiry carries legal weight within the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is why, she says, Fedecámaras has sought such a commission all along.

“All these years Fedecámaras has come to Geneva looking for what it lacks in Venezuela,” said Máspero in reference to legal mechanisms that could help the employers’ association halt worker radicalization in Venezuela.According to Máspero, Fedecámaras “wanted to take political advantage” of ILO mechanisms so as to continue its international campaign against the Chávez government. “This time we were successful in defeating capitalism on the international stage,” said the UNETE leader.
