Popis: This article aims to explain the changes in the trade unions of the Venezuelan oil sector from its origin to the present day. After the nationalization of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) in 1976, a model based on a technocratic meritocracy emerged, with increasing autonomy from the state. This phase ended under the Chávez presidency, with the dismissal of 18,756 workers following the 2002-2003 “managers’ insurrection.” The promises of employee participation were long forgotten and an arbitrary management was set up, combining the repression of union activists, the endangering of workers due to non-compliance with safety conditions, major damage to the environment, and the multiplication of corruption scandals.
