Luis Tovar

Luis Tovar Ravelo (11 June 1908 – 4 August 1974) was a Venezuelan labor unionist and politician.

In 1927, he joined the Drivers' Mutual Aid Society of the Federal District, and became its president the same year.

The union was dissolved by the government the following year, but Tovar negotiated an agreement between oil workers and their employers.

After his release, he worked secretly as national labour secretary of Democratic Action, but he was again imprisoned in 1956.

His opposition to Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa led in 1969 to his replacement as leader of Fedepetrol, becoming honorary life president.
