Spanish term or phrase: que se mantenían al frente de sus responsabilidades
Estoy traduciendo una serie de artículos sobre los ex-trabajadores petroleros que fueron despedidos en Venezuela a raíz del paro cívico de 2002-2003.

"Sin embargo, el 3 de diciembre el presidente de Pdvsa convocó a los círculos bolivarianos a proteger las instalaciones de Pdvsa, lo cual derivó en su militarización. A partir de ese momento, el acceso a las instalaciones operacionales de Pdvsa quedó bajo el control anárquico de estos grupos armados, impidiéndo el acceso a los trabajadores **que se mantenían al frente de sus responsabilidades**."
