What happened
Union leaders announced a 12-hour national strike for teachers, nurses, and university staff in Venezuela on November 16. The strike was approved at a national assembly held at the Central University of Venezuela. The unions are demanding year-end bonuses of US$960 per worker and a plan to incorporate bonuses into base salary.

Why it matters
The strike targets low base salaries, which are frozen at 130 bolívares a month (under US$1), and demands changes to the payment system. This action could impact national productivity and government finances in Venezuela.
