In this episode, we dig into the explosive labor movement that emerged after the death of dictator Juan Vicente Gómez in 1935. We explore how oil workers in the Maracaibo Basin organized under the banner of the newly formed Unión Sindical Petrolera, led by figures like Rodolfo Quintero and Jesús Faria. The strikes of 1936 and 1937, centered on camps like Cabimas and Lagunillas, forced the government of Eleazar López Contreras to confront the power of organized labor in the oil industry. We trace the tensions between communist and democratic factions within the unions, the role of the transnational oil companies — Standard Oil, Royal Dutch Shell — and the government's crackdown that led to the jailing of union leaders. We also discuss how these early labor battles foreshadowed the later nationalization of oil and the rise of PDVSA. Specific terms include: Unión Sindical Petrolera, Rodolfo Quintero, Jesús Faria, Cabimas, Lagunillas, Maracaibo, Ley del Trabajo, and the 1936 oil strike. #Venezuela #OilHistory #LaborMovement #Unionism #RodolfoQuintero #JesúsFaria #Cabimas #Maracaibo #OilStrike #1936 #EleazarLópezContreras #StandardOil #RoyalDutchShell #PDVSA #SouthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory #LaborRights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
