Venezuela orders 2-day work week to stave off power crisis | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

Wonder if it has more to do with their economy tanking

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's public employees will work only on Monday and Tuesday as the country grapples with an electricity crisis.

President Nicolas Maduro announced Tuesday that the government was slashing working hours for at least two weeks in a bid to save energy.

He said the water level behind the nation's largest dam has fallen to near its minimum operating level thanks to a severe drought. Experts say lack of planning and maintenance is also to blame.
