Venezuela opposition calls general strike over Chavez rule
Venezuela's opposition defies OAS warnings and launches a one day general strike on December 2 to press for a referendum on President Hugo Chavez. Labor leader Carlos Ortega warned the strike could expand if Chavez resists, while OAS Secretary General Cesar Gaviria cautioned it could derail stalled talks backed by the United Nations and the Carter Center.
