to the general strike of 29-S [CNT-Zaragoza]
Our reasons
The reasons for going on strike are very clear to us, and are what we have set out above. First, it is not acceptable that a country that just two and a half years was not even an approximation to the three million unemployed has fallen in such a short period of time to the shocking figure of five million, many of them without any benefit, problems of evictions, and so on. And this is even more intolerable, when it also has not cut any privilege, ie when we are forcing workers to pay all the outrages that has generated the most corrupt bosses in Europe, with the silent complicity or direct support of the political class.
The PSOE government said that the problem of unemployment is a consequence of the problem of "crisis." We do not understand how you can have so little shame, when there have been ample signs that money in the coffers of the state, and there are leftovers, when millions have forgiven debts to big business, if not even a year ago were made "liquidity injections" banking, ie, that gave the bankers, primarily responsible for the crisis, money out of everyone's taxes. Suffice to say, between what the state invests in military spending, salaries of senior managers, subsidies to political parties and unions, concessions to private companies, etc. that would spare no one had any problems to make ends month. To this we must add that no more than a few weeks ago he withdrew the aid of 400 euros per month to unemployed between 30 and 45 without dependents, that is, to 70,000 long-term unemployed, to swell the list of those who no longer have any admissions.
But there's more. Responding to the mandate of the CEOE , last June the government passed a new labor reform under the guise of reducing temporary employment in jobs. What they have not said is that to reduce timing will encourage hiring part-time, which is tantamount to saying that there are people who work in vain, because his salary will not give you almost nothing, to be generalized dismissal with compensation of 33 days per year worked up to a maximum of 24 months instead of 45 with a maximum of 42 we had until now, also the FOGASA , public insurance we pay to all our taxes, partially finance the redundancies (or whatever it is, that workers are going to have to pay our own dismissals) ... and if this were not enough, it is intended that from now on agreements groups are worthless, to facilitate the "derogation wage, which is that the company to" prove "problems, the administration will free you from the obligation to comply with the pay scales of the agreement, so you can pay your employees what he pleases.
Nor can we forget the tighter conditions retirement, having recently increased the minimum required contribution years, the reform of pensions and social security, the emerging privatization of public health.
In conclusion, the scheme is this:
The major employers, banks and politicians have gotten us in this crisis squarely and the measures they propose to get out of it are: cuts in benefits to unemployed , lowering of dismissal, precarious working conditions, greater impunity for companies at the time of breaching agreements, hardening and delayed retirement, privatization of health, and so on. Seek to resolve this crisis without losing an inch of their privileges, and have already demonstrated amply that they are willing to trample on workers to the extent necessary.
And beyond the general strike?
We can only say that, in an offensive against the workers as strong as we have described, a general strike called only 24 hours and three months after the adoption of the decree to be repealed (the Education Reform) is clearly insufficient to cope with it on us. And this is no accident, but responding to the failure and abandonment blatant CCOO and UGT who have tried to negotiate until it was too late, which for years have signed and agreed things like that now criticize, who have demobilized the working class, and are maintained with money of all signed agreements and then starve.
No, with a 24-hour strike which comes three months late, if we let in an isolated, achieve nothing more than washing the face CCOO and UGT , which thus legitimize his performance somewhat disastrous when it comes to labor rights.
Therefore, from the CNT realized the need for this strike, and that anyone working on 29, but we also see just as necessary that this will serve as the beginning of something and not as an isolated event. Only a general strike could throw a decree like this. After the 29-S must therefore continue to be organized in the pits, we must continue our demonstrations, and ultimately must continue fighting.
And that's the CNT , a separate union of others, maintaining only the membership fees because they want to feed McCabe, who rejects the model labor union election because it says that it really works is the union section, involving everyone, not just the representative elect, who decide things by assembly workers, a union in which one's problems are all so that nobody is helpless. A union, in short, made to fight.
THE 29-S, A ALL THE STRIKE
Organize AND FIGHT
CNT, YOUR UNION
