POSTER AND PRESS RELEASE IN RESPONSE TO THE MOLLET POPULAR PARTY

 News
Oct 162013
 

Posters and press release in response to the Party Popular of Mollet del Vallès .

A few weeks ago, the local section of the PP in Mollet took out leaflets with an image showing dozens of members of the Muslim community Al Huda de Mollet praying in front of the town hall, in this pamphlet the “passivity” of the city council towards the protests of the Muslim community of the capital of Baix Vallès was denounced.

From this union, we want to express our critique of all institutionalized religions (islam, Catholicism, Judaism, etc), since we consider them hierarchical and coercive by nature, and in general, aligned with all political power structures. That said, we respect everyone’s personal beliefs, as long as, they do not go against the rights of the people.

So, this union is neither favorable nor unfavorable in the conflict that this association maintains with the city council regarding the construction of the mosque. «Read the rest of the news»

IMPROPER JUDGMENT IN THE TRIAL OF COMPANION FLOR

 News
Oct 102013
 

As some of you know, in March of this year I was fired from the Center de la Propietat Forestal, a company attached to the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Generalitat. Together with me they were fired 4 more colleagues The five dismissal letters, in which they alleged objective and productive causes, were signed by the Workers' Representatives, formed by CCOO, that were limited, without more, to accept said dismissals.

I have always been clear that they lied and this is demonstrated by the sentence that recognizes the dismissal as IMPROPER. The company, with the arrogance that characterizes them, you were unable to show that the dismissal was justified, it's more, the ruling recognizes that the volume of work in the position I held has not decreased.

For me, said sentence has a bittersweet taste. I wanted to get my job back. Compensation for 45 days is bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. But I must admit that I am glad, and a lot, that in a company that has always been considered with absolute impunity to do and undo in labor relations, have had to give explanations before a court, and given the nature of it, surely the explanations will not end here. They were sure they would get away with it. As well, it has not been like that.

I want to thank in a very special way the cegetistas and libertarians for their support and solidarity throughout the process..

Health,

13 OCTOBER 2013. INDEFINITE STRIKE IN PANRICO.

Oct 102013
 

No layoffs, no pay cuts. Indefinite Strike!

Partner:

From CGT we make a call to you to participate in the INDEFINITE STRIKE called from next Sunday 13 October 2013.

You already know the plans they have for us: 1.914 dismissed workers, (75 middle managers, 756 production workers, 600 autonomous and 483 support), brutal pay cuts of between a 35% al 45% and of a 20% to self-employed colleagues, and the payroll for September unpaid. The company offers compensation of 20 days per year worked with a ceiling of 12 monthly payments, and to pay in 24 months. With these proposals on the table, the company intends to reach an agreement in the consultation period.

From the CGT, we want to show our rejection of the company's proposals, who load on the staff what is truly a disastrous management by those who organize the operation of the factory and the distribution of products.

It is totally incomprehensible that there is a distribution of fewer products than are consumed, Unless accounting engineering is being done so that the company's accounts are negative. Companies are already used to this, to manage production, purchases and sales in such a way that they get the desired numbers to justify layoffs of permanent workers and replace them with new workers. In each of the factories there are 50 daily new worker hires.

The CGT considers that these measures are not what is necessary to maintain the activity of the factories and jobs. We give an example that we see daily of business mismanagement, the autonomous carriers that carry out the delivery routes carry fewer products than are needed in the stores due to the demand they have, could be sold 10.000 more breads, Y 4.000 Donuts/Donettes y Bollycaos.

The CGT opposes these dismissals, to the salary reduction and we urge the company to search among the managers for those responsible and those guilty of everything that is not well organized in the company.

We are playing a lot, and in this conflict, we will have to get the best out of each one of us and get involved in the mobilizations.

FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF JOBS AND OUR RIGHTS:
UNDEFINED STRIKE!

END OF IMPUNITY FOR FRANCHISM

Oct 012013
 

CGT Libertarian Memory Commission

The day 18 September 2013 may go on to become a milestone date within the memorial movement. Finally the first arrest warrant is issued to torturers and assassins of the Franco regime. Right now, when the fascist upswing grows all over Europe, we find good news for the achievement of the real objectives, justice and reparation for the victims of the Franco regime.

CGT welcomes the performance of Judge Servini, first admitting a complaint from citizens massacred in another state and, right now, assuming the investigation of the denounced events and requesting the performance of necessary acts to clarify the crimes committed during the Franco period.

Moved by that desire to achieve reparation for the damages received by the abuses of the followers of fascio in Spain, the General Confederation of Labor and an important group of associations and individuals, They have appeared in the cause against Francoism in Argentina. As a result of the complaint filed before the Argentine judiciary, this arrest warrant for Juan Antonio González Pacheco has emerged, Jose Ignacio Giralte Gonzalez, Celso Galván Abascal and Jesús Muñecas Aguilar. All of them members of the repressive bodies of the old Franco dictatorial regime and who were cruel to their compañeros and compañeras, that following in the footsteps of those who already gave their lives during the civil war, they fought for freedom and to change society.

It is unquestionable that throughout this process,, as in fact it has already happened, pressure from the Spanish government to prevent justice from being done from Argentina. In Spain, it has already been possible to close the path of seeking justice for the victims of the Franco regime, disabling the performance of Judge Garzón as instructor of the process of reporting forced disappearances. And in recent months, a thousand obstacles have been put to the actions that the judge intended to carry out from Argentina to continue with the investigation of the complaint filed in Buenos Aires.

Even so, The requests for the imputation of another important number of Francoist personalities implicated in crimes against human rights remain pending resolution., as well as companies that benefited from the exploitation of Franco's prisoners to profit from the construction of large infrastructure works such as roads, reservoirs, irrigation canals such as the Canal del Bajo Guadalquivir (known as the Channel of the Prisoners) that members of the CGT of Andalusia have documented and presented before the Argentine judge requesting justice and reparation for those who suffered "slave labor".

With the wish that these arrests are only the beginning of the end of the impunity of the Franco regime, we toast for a day in which the objective of TRUTH is fulfilled., JUSTICE AND REPARATION with the victims of the Franco regime.

28 SEPTEMBER INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE DEPENALIZATION OF ABORTION

 Abortion, News
Sep 272013
 

CGT Women's Secretariat

The Popular Party is willing to continue with its proposal to change the Sexual and Reproductive Health Law at the end of October. It has been announced by Minister Gallardón, it will also reform the Penal Code.

They are leaving us without the right to live freely in all areas, labor, familiar, social ... and sexual.

Gallardón has announced on several occasions that a minor cannot abort without parental permission and that he was going to toughen the assumptions for physical or psychological damage to the mother.

This government wants to turn the little that we have and that we have achieved after years of struggle into one of the most retrograde laws in Europe. They don't talk about training, nor prevention, pending and very important issues.

At the Health level they have already reformed the issue of assisted reproduction: single women or women married to other women have no option to inseminate, you must be married to a man. Now they want to reform the current Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health . Step by step we see how the PP is shaping the figure of the 21st century Spanish woman: submissive woman, good and christian. As they already did in the years 60.

The CGT defends the freedom of the people in all senses. No one can be discriminated against because they have a pen or because they want to have a son or daughter without marrying.

Abortion is the last option left to a woman who does not want to continue with the pregnancy. It's a personal decision, sometimes shared and always painful. But it is a right that women have over our body: choose our motherhood freely. No one, nor the Church that blames us, nor should the State that represses us force us to have children because we are women and because they consider that this is our function.

From CGT we call on all the people who feel affected by these cuts to show their rejection, no longer only against the reform of the abortion law, but also against their model of family and sexuality, single parent, patriarchal and retrograde, that legitimizes violence against women and people's bodies without recognizing all possible forms of sexuality.

He 28 September is the day for the decriminalization of abortion. Every day they are made 55 a thousand unsafe abortions in the world, he 95 percent in developing countries, which are responsible for one in eight maternal deaths.

For a right to decide free from prejudices and social conventions, for the right to sex education.

Against the repression of women's bodies and decisions

1MARCH FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION. RIBES DE FRESER-BARCELONA DEL 24 AL 31 OF AUGUST

 News, Public
Aug 272013
 

From the CGT of the Vallès Oriental we encourage all our affiliates and supporters to participate in the March for public education organized by the Yellow Assembly.

http://assembleagroga.info/marxa/

No cuts, in Catalan, inclusive, democratic, secular and for the people. #*EducacioEnMarxa.

Yellow Assembly, TeachersPrecarias Bcn and Universitat Precària Pudup Bcn.

The world of education is immersed in a process of unprecedented fragmentation. So that, we are witnesses of the growing and relentless precarization, commodification and privatization of public education, and consequently, of the disintegration of the public educational system in which. This process has very serious repercussions: condemns us to social breakdown, segregates the population, classifies it by determining limits that exclude the working classes, namely, to the majority of society.
We cannot forget that the educational system that we knew until now, despite having its shortcomings and being very improvable, is the response to a collective need and the will of society to democratize education. Fruit of the struggle and the united effort of families, faculty, Young people and children, we guide our educational centers towards dialogue, the creation of critical knowledge and democratic management and participation. However, With the latest legislative reforms in education we are suffering the loss of all the rights that so many years and efforts have cost us. That educational ideal in which education equaled us in rights and opportunities and responded to social needs, is being replaced by the educational ideal of neoliberalism. Education is no longer at the service of society, it's not even called education anymore, now it is said teaching, and education is at the service of the oligarchy and the financial markets.

FLOWER READMISSION NOW…

CMAC flower

The Center de la Propietat Forestal dismissed the companion in the past 31 March alleging budget cuts in this department. It is evident that the company uses the Labor Reform to try to validate the dismissal, in the new case of “if the budget allocation falls, the company being public (this is subcontracted by the public function), can fire… ”This does not hold because, Today, these quotes have not yet been validated. The company LIES because the job of the colleague has not disappeared, the tasks she performed have overloaded the rest of the staff.

For CGT Vallés Oriental, the dismissal of the partner violates her fundamental rights, motivated mainly by union activity that develops- rrolls both in the company and in the social sphere. Something, that we already know, what you do not like.

Last 2 In August the CMAC of our colleague Flor took place, the result of which was “No agreement” the seat, whitout deal.

The judgment will be the day 12 September at the Social Court of Sabadell,at 11am., Avenida Fransesc Macià 34-36
We appeal to all the affiliation of the CGT del Vallès Oriental and to the rest of the unions in Catalonia and to all social groups.

On such an important day, we all have to show that Flor is not alone, and that has all my support.

Because if they touch us, they touch us all!

AGAINST SEXUAL FREEDOMS REPRESSION

 Abortion, News
Aug 022013
 

The CGT understands that people's freedom involves freely choosing their motherhood or paternity and their sexual orientation.. In a state called law, we wonder who has those rights.

Sexually dissidents of the Patriarchal Party, and women in particular continue to suffer institutional sexist and heterosexist violence every day.. The last direct attack, the recent formal denial by the PP government of the right to assisted reproduction to all those women who are not accompanied to the treatment of a stable male partner (are necessary at least 12 months of repeated attempts with the same man). With this measure, The PP government directly violates the article 14 of the Constitution and subject, again, women's access to rights to the company of a man. It imposes heteropatriarchal family models and discriminates against those who make up diverse families..

This with the aggravating factor that just a few weeks ago the Superior Court of Justice of Asturias handed down a ruling in favor of a couple of lesbian women to whom the Government of the Principality denied the continuation of fertility treatment once it had begun., for the same reasons that the PP now argues. In a case of clear institutional lesbophobia (read the rest of the news in cgt.org.es)

Today 31 July CGT had called a day of strike within the entire railway sector in defense of the multiple attacks to which it is being subjected. (segregations-liberalizations-privatizations-deficient Security Plans-etc.); However, due to the tragic railway accident in Santiago de Compostela, in an act of respect for all the victims and all their families, we have postponed these planned mobilizations, without this implying that we have bowed to the decisions that are outlined to end the public and social railway model.

Communication Department Railway Sector-CGT

Seven days have passed since the tragedy, There are many interpretations about it., influencing the majority of guilty statements, exclusive, of the driver of the crashed train, shunning, in most cases, the debate on the deficiencies of security systems and the responsibilities that arise from them.

CGT has always been committed to safety, as well as with training and health, understanding that to guarantee it, it is essential that the Annual Security Plans are equipped with all the necessary means to do so.. Precisely because of this lack of means, CGT has been the only union organization that has not signed the ADIF Annual Traffic Safety Plan.

We must also remember that when they approved the Railway Sector Law, which we also opposed, We indicated that this would have a negative impact on Security due to breaking its integrated system..

From CGT we are going to demand the maximum rigor in the investigations of the causes of the Santiago accident, participating in the different Traffic Safety Commissions (read the rest of the news in cgt.org.es)

 News
Aug 012013
 

The drama of unemployment and precarious employment.

The EPA only statistically reflects, the serious aggression of capital and its political representatives, to the world of work, through the Labor Reform

The Active Population Survey (EPA) of the second quarter of 2013 offers us the information that unemployment has been reduced in 225.200 people, with which the unemployment rate has been reduced by 0,9 points, passing to 26,26% of the active population and leaving the figure at 5.977.500 standing people.

This data on the reduction of unemployment, does not mean that employment has increased by this figure. Occupancy in this second quarter, has behaved in a very similar way to the second quarter of 2011, having been the increase of only 149.000 people, increasing the occupancy rate between the first quarter and the second of the year 2013 a 0,90%, meeting with 16.783.800 busy people.

So, although employment has increased in the private sector, in this second quarter, in 151.600 people, public employment has been reduced by 2.600 people.

If we see the evolution of the occupancy rate in annual terms, namely, of June 2012 to June 2013, This has decreased by -3,64%, that is to say the employment has been reduced by 633.500 people in the last year.

Where have jobs been created and what type of jobs?

The employment created is fundamentally seasonal, namely, It is not structural employment. Employment increases in the Services sector in 154.800 people (turismo, hospitality, fundamentally) and the Agriculture sector in 37.500, while construction jobs are destroyed with 26.500 and in the Industry with 16.000.

BARCELONA, 19 JULY 1936. FACTORY SIRENS CALL WORKERS TO FIGHT

Barcelona, ​​19 de julio de 1936. Las sirenas de las fábricas llaman a los trabajadores a la lucha

A partir de hoy iniciamos la publicación de textos aparecidos en el número especial de Polémica con motivo del 50 aniversario de la Revolución española de 1936. Estos textos, que relatan la reacción del pueblo ante el levantamiento militar fascista, tienen el valor de ser testimonio de personas que fueron testigos directos o protagonistas de aquellos hechos.

Federica Montseny

Amaneció el 19 de julio en Barcelona entre el ruido ensordecedor de las sirenas que llamaban al pueblo a las armas.

Todo el día 18, and the 17 and the 16, se les habían pasado los trabajadores montando guardia cerca de los cuarteles y centros oficiales. Hasta las cuatro de la madrugada del 19 permanecieron los militantes en los sindicatos, en la Generalitat y en todos los centros y ayuntamientos de los pueblos y poblaciones de Cataluña. Llegaban noticias confusas de toda España. Que si en Zaragoza se ha revuelto Cabanellas, que si en Sevilla Queipo de Llano y en Canarias el general Franco. Que si se espera el golpe en Barcelona para esta noche. Abad de Santillán, García Oliver, Ascaso, Durruti y Assens, los dos últimos en representación del Comité Regional y de la Federación Local, habían estado en Gobernación ya la Generalitat, exigiendo de Compañeros la entrega de armas, indispensables para organizar la defensa el centro de la capital y en las barriadas. Se las negaron hasta el último momento y los primeros combates tuvieron sostener dando el pecho desnudo a fusiles y los cañones. Y ya comenzada la lucha, sólo nos dieron un centenar de pistolas. El pueblo tuvo que armarse, conquistando las armas a las tropas sublevadas.

Las descargas de fusilería, el fragor de los combates retumbaba de un ámbito a otro de Barcelona. En la región, el pueblo estaba también sobre las armas. Los trabajadores acudían de todos los pueblos, concentrando sobre las plazas fuertes. Figueres y Girona fueron durante muchas horas motivo de gran preocupación. El pueblo rodeaba los cuarteles, impidiendo la salida de las fuerzas rebeladas contra la República. Lleida y Tarragona no llegaron a sublevarse, ya que el movimiento, no triunfante en Barcelona en las primeras horas, apareció ya sin solución de continuidad en el resto de Cataluña.
