In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez marked the eve of May Day by announcing a raise to the national minimum wage.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: “Venezuela’s minimum wage, which was in second place in Latin America, moves to first place with $372 a month. It’s necessary that we all know this: the minimum wage in Venezuela is the highest in Latin America.”
Chavez also said he had signed a decree to nationalize Venezuela’s steel industry.
