Venezuela faces bank strike

Bank staff in Venezuela have called a two-day strike, putting further pressure on President Hugo Chavez.

Staff from the Fetrabanca union will walk out on Thursday and Friday, adding more momentum to a six-week national strike.

Banks have already cut their opening hours from six to three hours a day.

Oooh. Worse and "worser" for Chavez....
How low can he go?
Looks like we're all gonna find out!
Go, strikers!
Let Freedom Ring in Venezuela!
