Venezuela to Survey Workers to Create New Labor Model

Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez announced a national survey of workers via the "Patria" system to gather opinions on working conditions, which will serve as the basis for developing a new labor model within the framework of the "Labor Constituent Assembly" process. Rodríguez emphasized that the survey's goal is to strengthen protection of wages and social security for workers, while also noting a record increase in sausage production in 2025 to 125,325 tonnes, which, she said, was made possible thanks to dialogue in the National Council for Productive Economy. The statement was made during a visit to the L'Prado plant in Miranda state, where Rodríguez reaffirmed the government's commitment to economic progress and social peace, saying that "the rights of workers must be respected" and that a labor model meeting their needs must be created.
