Statement from the Permanent Secretariat of the CGT of Vallès Oriental regarding the events that took place at the Granollers Festival:

From this Permanent Secretariat we want to express our support and solidarity with the Colla dels Blaus in the face of the attacks they are receiving for holding a workshop “molotov cocktails”. An activity in a context of Festa Major and satire where freedom of expression should not be a problem.

a fair in which politicians of all kinds get on their knees before Mr. Marshall of precariousness and exploitation, based on the complaint of different “trade unions” police investigations are being opened by the Prosecutor's Office to identify minors… and being able to criticize is being questioned, to satirize the armed forces of the state (the police, army…etc).

These actions show us that it is not worth lowering our guard in the defense of rights and freedoms.

For a long time now we have become accustomed to normalizing wars, those places where people kill and die, you go hungry, women and girls are raped, like something distant that is seen from the TV while we eat. Now the morbidity, more intense and outrageous, but ephemeral, It comes to us in the form of videos through social networks (more or less manipulated or censored).

“Nothing happens here anymore.. “War is a thing of the past and of the third world.”, it is said.

The obligatory levies of our young people - and adults - are far from our memory.- for the colonial whim of some: America, the slaughterhouses of Cuba and Morocco. Or civil wars: the Carlists and the last of 1936. Read and document -depending on what, Of course- awakens memory and coherent reflection.

Spain from 1986 member of the European Union and NATO (in the latter since 1999 fully integrated into its military and command structure). This supposes supposed Rights and entails Obligations.

It is necessary to remember that NATO is not exactly the UN of the “blue helmets of peace”.

From a business perspective, the “foreign” war is a business opportunity.:

– Production and sale of weapons abroad.

– Increase in GDP through exports.

– “Opportunities” for reconstruction of devastated areas.

– Loans, many loans for reconstruction.

Now we have two wars that publicly grip and shame us (those of the Sahel, Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Kurdistan, Rohinyas, Afghanistan… for cobalt, lithium or coltan seem not to do as much, but there are some): They are the “officially” undeclared ones of Ukraine and Gaza.

In Palestine we have a rotten and murderous State, Israel, in conflict with a proto-state that is also corrupt and murderous: Hamas. The Israeli people pay for it (indoctrination and atmosphere of Terror to those who dare to question National-Religious identity) and the Palestinian people, that receives the already atavistic Israeli repression, plus the internal repression of Hamas. More now the bag of bombs and the siege by hunger and thirst.

Spain as a state does not send weapons there, but it does not act diplomatically nor does it influence the establishment of economic sanctions to suffocate the belligerents. Nor does it exert any pressure on imports or exports on multinational companies. (or Spanish) who trade (or they actively collaborate) with the State of Israel and allow, in fact, the continuation of the war and the deaths. Popular boycott proposals in this sense exist and are promoted by social organizations around the world., but the Spanish State didn't even plim (BDS: Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions… that helped defeat the Apartheid in South Africa). There are also States that have taken the step of breaking diplomatic and commercial relations with the State of Israel., while the mortality lasts.

Ukraine, a state as rotten and corrupt as the Russian one. Both oppress their respective people.. A conflict orchestrated in the great global geopolitics and fueled by national emotional identitarianism or a cultural assumption of the West / East, where innocent people die. Nobody expected it (like in Yugoslavia). This could also have been the case in the post-Soviet transition from state capitalist economies to free market capitalism. (but it wasn't).

The fact is that Spain, As a member of the European Union and NATO, it has been sending weapons to the Ukrainian State WITH MONEY FROM OUR TAXES for years., money for weapons and the percentage of money allocated to “defense” is increasing (to a potential war) so that people can continue killing and people suffering. Aside from the fact that the topic is much more delicate and complex (Obviously the Russian State is not exactly a saint) It concerns us that WE CITIZEN ARE WORKING AND PAYING TAXES (which could be for education or medicine) SO THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTIVELY KILL THEMSELVES “THERE”. Collectively we have not acted to prevent it, except worthy exceptions. Therefore, we citizens have blood on our hands., whether we like it or not we know it.

And how can this affect our children?, or ourselves?

In reality, we citizens constitute the “potential reserve” of cannon fodder if the circumstances arise., among the 18 and the 45 years. But if more meat is needed (as lives run out), The legislation itself makes it possible to expand them… 16, 64… [better not give them ideas].

Spain has supranational commitments with the EU and NATO. And “democratic” state legislation that allows you to serve them faithfully.: The SPANISH CONSTITUTION, Organic Laws and Royal Decrees, in order of preeminence.

The Constitution is the Fundamental Law of the State and from which the rest are developed, without being able to contradict her.

It is very important, to understand the following argument, Keep in mind that to approve an Organic Law a simple majority is needed in Parliament. To modify any article of the Constitution, two-thirds qualified majority. It is not trivial that aspects such as the death penalty during times of war or “siege” have been “deactivated” through Organic laws. (as this state is euphemistically called, which allows for the widespread suspension of civil rights and liberties.), or compulsory military service, without having abolished or eliminated them from the Constitution.

It is worth remembering that the Spanish State (assuming it is applied honestly) has a corrected proportional electoral system that penalizes minority groups (or in projection) and promotes the euphemistic “stability” in the form of two large parties of the system that alternate in power, without any more problem than a theatrical dialectic acoustic as a staging.

The article 30 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:

1. Spaniards have the right and duty to defend Spain.

2. The law will establish the military obligations of the Spaniards and will regulate, with due guarantees, conscientious objection, as well as other causes of exemption from compulsory military service, being able to impose, in your case, a substitute social benefit.

3. A civil service may be established to fulfill purposes of general interest.

4. The duties of citizens may be regulated by law in cases of serious risk., catastrophe or public calamity.

The “duty to defend Spain” speaks for itself. When a person is designated for that “duty” they are no longer fully protected by civil rights and liberties., automatically passing to military jurisdiction. The United States invoked this argument to force its citizens to defend (killing) the interests of the country (or large economic corporations) in wars as far away as the first, Second World War or Vietnam.

The following regulations deploy the professional army in a “provisional” and “definitive” manner., but the concept of “military service” remains in force in the fundamental law, the Constitution. Therefore it is not abolished but suspended:

– Ley 17/1999, from 18 of May, Regime of the Personnel of the Armed Forces.

– Royal Decree 247/2001, 9 of March, by which the suspension of the provision of military service is brought forward.

Recovery probably doesn't have much social glamoron of the Mili, but in a process of creating patriotic states of opinion, warmongers and militarists against the supposed “common enemy” would not be ruled out. Historically it is nothing new. For thisOnly the repeal of an organic law would be necessary.

The article 15 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:

Everyone has the right to life and physical and moral integrity, without that, in no case, may be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment. The death penalty is abolished, except as may be provided by military criminal laws for times of war.

An organic lawnica establishes that currently the death penalty will not be applied in the event of war:

– Organic Law 11/1995, from 27 of November, abolition of the death penalty in time of war.

A simple vote in Parliament repealing it would reactivate the validity of the article of the Constitution, plenipotentiating military laws. Who doubts that in the event of a possible pre-war environment they will do so??

The article 8 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:

1. The Armed Forces, formed by the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, Their mission is to guarantee the sovereignty and independence of Spain, defend its territorial integrity and constitutional order.

2. An organic law will regulate the bases of the military organization in accordance with the principles of this Constitution.

The linked organic laws are reviewable in a broad or restrictive sense by means of votes with a simple majority in parliament.. The section 1. “They have a mission” is a carte blanche that legitimizes military personnel to do whatever they want with our society. [with us, with our young people], when they deem it convenient:

– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.

– Military Jurisdiction Code.

-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.

The article 116 of the Spanish Constitution currently says: *(State of siege is synonymous with state of war)

1. An organic law will regulate states of alarm, exception and site, and the corresponding powers and limitations.

2. The state of alarm will be declared by the Government by decree agreed upon by the Council of Ministers for a maximum period of fifteen days., reporting to the Congress of Deputies, immediately assembled for this purpose and without whose authorization said period cannot be extended.. The decree will determine the territorial scope to which the effects of the declaration extend..

3. The state of emergency will be declared by the Government by decree agreed upon in the Council of Ministers, prior authorization of the Congress of Deputies. The authorization and proclamation of the state of emergency must expressly determine its effects., the territorial scope to which it extends and its duration, which may not exceed thirty days, extendable for another equal period, with the same requirements.

4. The state of siege will be declared by the absolute majority of the Congress of Deputies, at the exclusive proposal of the Government. Congress will determine its territorial scope, duration and conditions.

5. The dissolution of Congress cannot be carried out while some of the states included in this article are declared., the Chambers being automatically convened if they are not in session. Its operation, as well as that of the other constitutional powers of the State, They cannot be interrupted during the validity of these states.

Congress dissolved or its mandate expired, if any of the situations that give rise to any of said states occur, The powers of Congress will be assumed by its Permanent Deputation.

6. The declaration of states of alarm, of exception and siege will not modify the principle of responsibility of the Government and its agents recognized in the Constitution and in the laws.

Simple majorities in Parliament can determine declarations of war, restrict the fundamental freedoms and rights of citizens, expropriations, seizures, compulsory community civil works, establish mandatory levies that would automatically refer the affected citizens to military jurisdiction. Also tighten the reference legal regulations in record time:

– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.

– Military Jurisdiction Code.

-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.

The article 63 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:

1. The King accredits ambassadors and other diplomatic representatives. Foreign representatives in Spain are accredited to him.

2. It is up to the King to express the consent of the State to be bound internationally through treaties., in accordance with the Constitution and the laws.

3. It is up to the King, prior authorization of the Cortes Generales, declare war and make peace.

The Head of State simply sanctions (a rubric) what is determined by SIMPLE MAJORITIES of Parliament. But the figure of the king is inviolable, The Government is responsible for its actions, It is the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces (Articles 56, 64 Y 62 of the Spanish Constitution). Next to nothing.

The article 117 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:

1. Justice emanates from the people and is administered in the name of the King by Judges and Magistrates who are members of the judicial power., independent, immovable, responsible and subject only to the rule of law.

2. Judges and Magistrates may not be separated, suspended, transferred or retired, but for any of the causes and with the guarantees provided by law.

3. The exercise of jurisdictional power in all types of processes, judging and executing what was judged, corresponds exclusively to the Courts and Tribunals determined by the laws, according to the rules of competence and procedure that they establish.

4. The Courts and Tribunals will not exercise more functions than those indicated in the previous section and those expressly attributed to them by law to guarantee any right..

5. The principle of jurisdictional unity is the basis of the organization and operation of the Courts. The law will regulate the exercise of military jurisdiction in the strictly military sphere and in cases of state of siege., in accordance with the principles of the Constitution.

6. Exceptional Courts are prohibited.

Here we return to the “reference laws” that leave everything tied and well tied in the hands of the politicians of the two-party system, judges and military judges. On the “prohibition” of exceptional courts, We already know very well how soldiers “act” executively and summarily when they search for civilian “deserter” conscientious objectors or enter a population that has been hostile to them.: plundering, violating, torturing, killing:

– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.

– Military Jurisdiction Code.

-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.

There are more references to military prerogatives in the Constitution.

Surely not even a significant minority of the politicians in the Spanish Parliament and Government are in favor of the task or the imagination of entering into a war., but the international commitments acquired by the State are those that are, and who they are with. Thus, The State is not sovereign in certain decisions. More like just another servile pawn, in international geopolitics. And the citizens, the town, cheap cannon fodder.

An incipient militarist ghost haunts the peaceful Europe of the European Union, which already seems to be the Europe of NATO. Fine rain gradually creating states of opinion, if not favorable, at least not resistant to possible war scenarios in the medium-term future (which could be a few years). The Spanish Minister of Defense dances to that game, the greatest exponents of the European Union, also [The reason for the creation of the EU was precisely to avoid a new military conflict in Europe.].

There need not be an imminent danger of war, and less in our territory. Nobody expected, the day before, that the Balkan firecracker would explode in 1991, nor that of Ukraine in 2022 (seemed a bit like the cyclical defiant occurrences of the “madman” of North Korea). Wars “only happen in poor and distant lands”.

In any case, there is the possibility of mandatory recruitment of our boys to go to distant lands to kill and die to comply with the agreements and commitments of the world's powerful powers. (and that our powerful people signed at the time, with very little popular opposition. Mud and sludge). And an entire state legal regulation that protects and legitimizes the repression of potential dissidence..

Businessmen imagine blood and are already salivating for safe business. Politicians play their game without counting on pawns, us and us. AND WITHOUT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. PLAY WITH OUR REASON FOR BEING.

So it's about not getting there, not even remotely. Preventively then, Collectively create from the citizens a strong anti-militarist emotional and identity environment that acts as a true deterrent agent against potential warlike whims on the part of the state legislative or executive powers., on duty. With war to war, if possible:

  • At home.

  • between the family.

  • By word of mouth.

  • With co-workers.

  • Require it in educational centers as parents, mothers and family.

  • In educational centers (as teaching workers)

  • with friends.

  • on the street, in the store.

  • Carrying out dissemination and dialectic events.

  • Persecuting and inciting politicians from the locality…

  • Persecuting and urging businessmen from the locality…

  • Extending the oil pond.

  • Acting…

Without forgetting the possible feasible actions so that no one has to kill or die in any war anywhere in the world.

Having done everything so that NOTHING HAPPENS.

If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.

[It will only be a few short lines]

It all started back in the 15th century (Yeah, more or less with the famous “discovery” of America).

“Everything” was the globalization of looting, extortion, robo, exploitation, slavery, violations, murders, destruction of cultural identities to achieve [WE LOVE THEM] gold and goods.

The beginnings of Precapitalist Original Accumulation: America, Asia, Oceania, Africa…

To achieve that, starved, taxes and plunged the common people of the ancient Kingdom of Castile into secular misery, That's why today it is "empty".

[The same as their namesakes to the common people of France, Portugal, Belgium, England, Netherlands, Russia, China, Japan, USA…].

After World War IIthat was no longer civilized” and they showed that, out of humanism they freed them: but in the form of Western Capitalist States, favoring submissive minorities and maintaining control of mines and plantations [Economic Imperialism]. More poverty and hunger for the common people of those latitudes.

Almost no one wants to flee their land, the “small homeland”, if not driven by hunger and desperation.

That in Catalonia this is not new, noses! (From all the interior counties, legions of heirs towards Terrace, Sabadell, Low Llobregat, Kisses and Barcelona).

That in Spain that is not new, nose! (From all places to the barracks of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla…).

The imbeciles despised them: peccaries, pallets, jerks…

They despised “otherness”, the last one to arrive:

  • The “outside”.

  • The “new or the apprentice” in the factory.

deep down, the mean and cowardly germ of hatred of the different.

Behind “them and them” there was only nostalgia, hunger and poverty.

Many people showed hospitality towards them. They showed their gratitude amply..

DESPISE “THE OTHER” for himself, YOU'RE MISERABLE!

What were “Spanish”? That the "first" were Catalans??

We anarcho-syndicalists have no homeland. Yes, different social and cultural identities that enrich us and unite us in solidarity with all people. [masters and their lackeys are not people].

That foreigners steal?

It's a lie. The vast majority of “foreign” people seek work and dignity in their lives.

In any case, a minority of poor people roban or son uncivic. The vast majority of people in precarious situations suffer passively and selflessly from their misfortune..

ANOTHER THING IS THAT CRETINS ONLY FIX WHEN THEIR SKIN COLOR IS DIFFERENT (or that they find vandalism or crime on the part of their supposedly “native” countrymen as a “normal” thing.. To make him psychoanalyze)

Stripping people of their dignity, robbing them of their right to be known by their first name and stigmatizing them as “immigrants” or “criminals” based on their place of birth, only fools do it.

Those and those (overwhelmingly they were those) Yes, they have stolen and steal with hands full of sweat OUR work and OUR taxes are the MASTERS:

Yes, those guilty of everything since the 15th century and whom the mean people do not lack the language to slavishly flatter.

It is necessary to remember that the “Social Shield: education, public health, social cohesion…” that comes from our taxes was created with the objective of compensating and avoiding situations of extreme poverty, not to feed the “bites” of the Businessmen and Politicians that we all have in mind.

Perhaps the xenophobic worker is really concerned that some of the “others” may have the same rights and, through own effort, surpass them on the “social scale” exposing their shame and ineptitude.

The National Institute of Statistics offers us some very graphic population pyramids [Catalonia and the State of Spain, as a sample].

 

Population pyramids of Catalonia and Spain, 2022 [Source: INE]

The data is from the registered resident population. The same source shows us in both cases a rampant tendency toward aging. (retired population or to attend in the short future), very low birth rates (surely they would be even more so without counting on “the others”, up to second generations), vegetative growth (births minus deaths) negative and positive real population growth as a consequence of the immigration process (young people and with a higher fertility rate than, Fleeing from misery, they look for a job to give dignity to their family and their lives.. Does it sound familiar to us??).

The social and demographic context is alarming, Yeah.

If we eliminate distraction maneuvers, those responsible are clear.. And they mostly have the Pedigree of many more than 8 aristocratic and bourgeois surnames: LOOTING WITH FULL HANDS SINCE THE 15TH CENTURY.

A Study economic establishes that the Gross Domestic Product would be needed (GDP) during 1.000 years of all the States participating in the colonial processes to “compensate or restitute” the damage caused to the colonized territories and societies.

The pain caused by rape and torture is already irreparable, as well as the cultural annihilation of their identities.

Also to the balance of Mother Earth, “our” Planet.

In all likelihood, culturally homogeneous societies simplify coexistence. Also that THE ABSOLUTELY HOMOGENEOUS IN TERMS OF EMANCIPATED SOCIAL CLASS, EVEN MORE (a world without oligarchs or exploiting bourgeoisie, without power).

Xenophobic workers urgently need to change focus and go to the root of the problem: his submission to the Master and his mentality (even the thought has tamed them). Once one's own autonomous consciousness has been reconstructed, demand that they dedicate their millions to repay the evil done proudly by their families and “theirs”, so that “the others” can return to their lands and towns with guarantees of having a decent life. Those who want, Of course.

If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.

During an informal talk, colleagues from the union discussed the real danger of the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the world..

One of them said that the philosopher Bertrand Russell stated that “the fascists first they fascinate the fools. “Then they muzzle the smart ones.”.

A colleague added that the representative democracy [bourgeois] also seduces fools. But what, very insightful, buy from the smart ones.

To which another colleague stated that in the direct democracy, that we exercise, We aspire to turn supposed fools into conscious intelligent people who are masters of their own designs., despite the fact that demagogues and intelligent “bought” people constantly sneak in with the aim of preventing it.. Bad apples trying to spoil the rest of us. But they won't be able to.

Mobility in commuting from home to work and from work to home by private vehicle generates major traffic jams and is one of the major factors contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.

We think that the reduction of a large part of these polluting inputs is necessary, essential for the future of life on the planet. And in our sector it is possible.

With the aim of reducing pollution, the carbon footprint, the pollutant emissions during work journeys from home to work, achieve a supportive planet, sustainable and comply with the Sustainable Development Goals, we propose:

The rationalization of the distribution of the workers of the Generalitat de Catalunya in public children's education, primary, compulsory secondary and high school, taking as a structural criterion the proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

It is quite common for a primary education teacher resident in Barcelona to commute to Canovelles every day to work, vice versa. And so for all the studies mentioned above. The teaching staff of the Generalitat amounts to more than 80.000 people. The impact of their daily mobility is not residual.

The approximation of distances between places of residence and work also improves the reconciliation of work and family life, the care spaces, saves time, life quality, well-being and health among workers.

We raise these groups of female workers mainly because they are the most abundant and widespread (including secondary education specialties) and more easily interchangeable with mobility criteria.

However, we consider that this should be a structural criterion of all Public Administrations in the allocation of places and competition for transfers.

That this same should be the line of action of the Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia in more specialized studies, as much as possible.

WE PROPOSE:

That transfer competitions be called, offering in a pedagogical way, trunk and priority the practical possibility of bringing the place of work closer to the place of residence.

The allocation of places is the result of a public competition using as a priority the criterion of proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

In response to the latest statement from the UTE dated 22/02/24:

If the UTE tells us a story, the RLT also knows how to tell stories, stories and fables...

Once upon a time there was a Temporary Business Union, leave OUT, who boasted of being the most kind and generous with her workers. They offered them free coffee, extra days off and even massages in the break room. Nevertheless, behind that façade of benevolence, The UTE had a hidden plan: They wanted to take away all job benefits from their employees to maximize their profits..

On the other hand, the Legal Representation of Workers together with the working staff, who were known for being relentless in defending workers' rights. They did not tolerate abuse, no injustices and were willing to fight to the end for what they considered fair.

When the time came to adapt a new agreement, The UTE tried to impose abusive clauses that curtailed workers' rights. Nevertheless, these, led by the Union Section of the CGT, They flatly refused to accept the unfair conditions. They called an assembly and, unanimously, They decided that they would not allow them to reduce their salary or any other benefits.

Leave OUT, surprised by the resistance of her employees, decided to report them to court. But unfortunately, The judge assigned to the case turned out to be a fair and staunch defender of labor rights. He dismissed the UTE's demands and ruled in favor of the workers.

Humiliated and defeated, The UTE was forced to withdraw with its tail between its legs. He never again attempted to undermine the rights of his employees, who celebrated their victory with joy and pride. And so, History showed that justice always prevails, even on the most powerful companies.

And red colorín, This story is over.

Feb 222024
 

Comrades s, after a year since the complaint of the Abertis surrogate group, on three breaches of CUN III and the Christmas Lot of 2021 and having been treated by:

– 1º BARCELONA LABOR INSPECTION.
– 2º SANCTIONS SECTION OF THE ENTERPRISE AND LABOR DEPARTMENT.
– 3º DIR. GRAL OF REL. LAB., have. AUT., SAY. I SALUT LAB. OF THE DEP. BUSINESS AND WORK.

In all of them they have ruled in favor of the workers and the Company has been sanctioned with a
INFRINGEMENT classified as SERIOUS in labor matters of the LISOS LAW.

The UTE today informed us that they will partially comply with the resolution:
– Days of own affairs year 2021, for your enjoyment during the 2022:
They will be compensated 2,5 days of own business. (Request them in time, for company organization. We advise first ordering the 2,5 days of 22). (For this one 24 you have a total of 5.5 days).
– Christmas lot year 2021.:
It will be paid in the February payroll. 57,57€. (Observe that it is reflected in the payroll as a Christmas Lot concept 2021).
– Flexible office hours:
The UTE refuses to adapt the schedule as indicated in the Art. 20 of the CUN III.
– PCF Ticket Restaurante:
The company denies the right to Art. 38 PCF without the possibility of having a Restaurant Ticket card.

From the CGT union section, the company's position leaves us with a bittersweet taste and we want to express our concern about the decision taken to accept only part of the resolutions proposed.. We are shocked by the company's criteria in choosing to assume only two aspects of these resolutions and discard the rest.. We are no longer surprised by the way in which the UTE admits its responsibilities, on this occasion by omitting compliance with the provisions of Art. 38 of the PCF, in relation to the Restaurant Ticket Card, and in Art.20 on Flexible Office Hours.

The lack of transparency of the Company in what was communicated to the Workers' Representatives last day 8, in relation to the mentioned personnel, where it was said that the Construction Convention would apply from the publication of CUN IV, and that the working conditions of Abertis would continue. It is contradictory that the lack of application of the Article is not corrected 38 and the article 20, since the company assures that the Abertis conditions for these personnel will be maintained.

The response of the UTE to this disagreement, has been that the same conditions that applied to date will continue to apply, and the rest don't. That is to say, they will continue as in an open buffet., They will select parts of the agreement they like and discard those they don't.. further, On the other hand, they tell us that they had judicialized the conflict and at the same time they deny it., claiming that it was still in process.

 INFORMATIONAL STATEMENT 20-02-2024

STAHL is a recognized Dutch multinational in the chemical sector related to equipment for the textile and leather industries located in Parets del Vallès.

STAHL is projected abroad as an innovative company with excellence, the research, ecology and sustainability, collaborating with the Parets del Vallès Town Council and opening the doors to the educational centers of the region to show their virtues.

https://www.parets.cat/actualitat/noticies/parets-commemora-el-dia-internacional-de-les-dones-en-la-ciencia-amb-visites-i-activitats-educatives-amb-el-suport-de-lempresa-stahl-iberica.html

What STAHL does not explain and seems to keep under the carpet is what affects its inhumane treatment of workers: belittlement, depersonalization, treatment as numbers and erosion of labor rights.

European and Spanish legality allow and protect workers to organize themselves to defend our rights and thus guarantee a more dignified life for our families, sons and daughters. But it seems that STAHL does not agree.

The dates of the union elections are approaching and the Management dismissed a worker, still convalescing from an illness, alleging TARGET DISMISSAL (justifiable only for alterations or structural readjustments of production that affect its solvency) at the same time as it is in full swing of expansion and recruitment of new workers.

The fact is that this colleague is very active in the Trade Union Section of the CGT demanding improvements in the rights of all STAHL workers and is part of our union's candidacy for the aforementioned union elections.

The colleague has been singled out and sentenced in an intimidating manner, taking advantage of his fragility and social isolation by being on leave, as a Turkish head so that people preemptively soak their beards if they intend to vote for the CGT in the next union elections. Paralyzing fear spread from mouth to mouth among the protesting workers… «who will be next?». But we already know this music! And we dance it well enough! Maybe the one who doesn't know is the company.

Incomprehensibly, the CGT is enemy number one 1 of those unscrupulous employers who do not wish to improve the rights and conditions of workers thus contributing to global happiness. On the other hand, philanthropic and humanist entrepreneurs adore our honesty and selflessness in the fight for the sustainable development of the planet without poverty and with social equity. And this is the action of the colleagues of the CGT in the company. In the hands of what kind of entrepreneurs is STAHL? Which side is he on??

In any case, STAHL is always in time to rectify. It's wise.

Either way, we will have our colleague readmitted to his workplace. It is up to the company to ensure that your suffering and that of your family is as short-lived as possible. Also the prevention of an uncertain development conflict that will surely tarnish its international image as an innovative company, ecological, sustainable and social.

Not just co-workers, otherwise the entire CGT will not stand idly by and we will start the whole network and machinery of social action, union, solidarity and mutual aid until the colleague is readmitted and the rights of the workers respected by STAHL.

IT GOES FOR YOU, COMPANY 😉

Too often companies violate labor laws and regulations with absolute impunity.

In companies where the workers are not organized, we find ourselves in the most absolute defenselessness and submission, at the will of the boss's despotism. And we live in a silence of fear, very afraid…

Where we decide to organize ourselves with colleagues, warmth and mutual solidarity give us the security to vindicate our rights and dignity, despite the difficulties and the fear of reprisals.

We are not fooled, the political and legal system is designed to make it difficult for us to organize and act autonomously (direct action) and favors the supposed collective "negotiation" at the highest levels by the "unions" most tamed by power, rewarded with constant promotion and direct subsidies and indirect favors. It also puts sticks in the wheels of direct trade union action while favoring the systematic judicialization of any claim (which could be solved with the habit of various strikes or boycotts around the company: no company can handle it for more than a few days, and we have a thousand strategies to make them more poignant, long while reducing the impact on our pockets).

Obviously, all of this goes up in the air when the company communicates that it wants to close or reduce production. IT IS IMPORTANT TO DIG THE WELL WAY BEFORE YOU GET THIRSTY.

The Trade Union Organization is the Association of Workers in various companies with the objectives of defending our common interests against employers, share knowledge, resources, strategies, collaborations, mutual aid and join forces when necessary.

Too often employers feel so unpunished in their arbitrariness and abuse that they disregard their own legality:

Lavabos bruts, absence of dining room or dressing rooms, machinery in bad condition, poor ventilation, lack of personal protective equipment, non-compliance with breaks and holidays, obligation to exceed the legal working day (even without remuneration), black money, non-compliance with the remuneration of the category of the job carried out, contractual breaches, threats, bullying… they are very common on the part of the bosses who "watch out for us" without the Parliaments or the Governments in turn even moving. They just look the other way.

* In these situations there is a useful and effective tool, despite being slow due to the lack of investment in personnel to deploy it with widespread effectiveness: THE COMPLAINT [CONFIDENTIAL] A THE WORK INSPECTION.

– It is a resource in instance format where we have to indicate personal data, those of the company and explain the situation of flagrant non-compliance with any labor law or regulation.

– Documents and photographs can be attached as proof.

– Management and our identity IT IS CONFIDENTIAL (only the Inspector will know our identity, expressly protected).

– It can be submitted online:

Here, the link:

https://treball.gencat.cat/ca/ambits/inspeccio/atencio_ciutadana/denunciar/

– If more information is required, the inspector can call us (ALWAYS GUARANTEEING OUR CONFIDENTIALITY).

– The resolution of your action will be returned to us in writing.

– Although it takes months, they act, I'm sorry and I'm a fan.

* There is also the LABOR AND SOCIAL SECURITY INSPECTION MAILBOX … COLLABORATE which allows a complaint to be made completely anonymously (it can be of situations in other companies as well) so that even the inspector will not be aware of it (in this situation we will not be considered an interested reporting party and we will not receive any feedback on the evolution and development of the inspection process).

Here, the link:

IT IS VERY USUAL AND SATISFACTORY THE PLEASURE TO SEE HOW, SUDDENLY, THE COMPANY STOPS EVERYTHING TO URGENTLY REPAIR THOSE MACHINES THAT HAVE BEEN SO DANGEROUS FOR YEARS AGO, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY WORKING PERSON WHO KNOWS THE REAL CAUSE, TOGETHER WITH THE "BOSS", AND THAT YOU WERE THE REAL CAUSING POWER FOR THE RESOLUTION OF THAT SITUATION OF INJUSTICE.

It is called Autonomy and Emancipation: A SMILE ON THE LIPS.

“There are people who don't like that workers join together to defend our collective rights and build a new just world. It's the same people who don't like to be talked about, it is written or thought”.

L’ Ovidi Montllor would have signed it.

Too often desperate people come to the union: "I've been fired, the companyri harass me, they don't pay me what is due to me, fa of the months that I don't get paid»…

It is often too late to keep a job and for anything other than bureaucratic prosecution.

Too often they are situations of individual affect [understanding that they usually affect many people in the same company, but that these assume them and manage by way of personal and not collective] that could have been avoided or prevented through collaboration and organization with the other fellow workers, sharing sorrows, common needs and taking the initiative of their destinies, which at the same time are those of their families.

All of this we call EMANCIPATION and AUTONOMY. The colleagues with more knowledge in the fight for the dignity of workers' rights share their baggage with the rest: payroll interpretation, health and safety at work, right to public holidays, compliance with current laws such as the workers' statute and collective agreements, organization in trade union sections, report to the labor inspection, right to protest and strike. And the most important thing so that they don't step on us: the feeling of being a collective and the support of all the workers standing up against the abuses of the employers.

Because we are people, not things.

VINE, ORGANIZE AND PREPARE TO DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!

DIG THE WELL BEFORE YOU ARE THIRST

Too many times desperate people come to the union: "I got fired, the businessman harasses me, They don't pay me what I owe, "I haven't been paid for two months."…

Too often late to keep the job and for anything other than bureaucratic judicialization.

Recurrently, these are situations of individual impact. [understanding that they usually affect many people in the same company, but that these are assumed and managed personally and not collectively.] that could have been avoided or prevented through collaboration and organization with the rest of the working colleagues, sharing concerns, common needs and taking the initiative for their destinies, who at the same time are those of their families.

We call this EMANCIPATION and AUTONOMY. The comrades with the most knowledge in the fight for the dignity of workers' rights share their background with the rest: payroll interpretation, security and health at work, right to holidays, Compliance with current laws such as workers' statutes and collective agreements, organization in union sections, complaints to the labor inspection, right to protest and strike. And the most important thing so that they don't step on us: the feeling of being a collective and the support of all the workers standing together in the face of the abuses of the employers.

Because we are people, not things.

VEN, ORGANIZE AND PREPARE TO DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!

We are pleased to inform you that from the joint action of the educational centers of Maresme and Vallès Oriental we have forced the Generalitat to carry out the compulsory annual medical examination in all Catalan schools and institutes, in compliance with the Statute of Workers and the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks (which up until now were passed over with impunity).

As a strategy we have used the sum of many individual complaints from workers to the Labor Inspectorate, skipping the inefficient corporate months, that they did nothing but throw balls out about it. Collective Action i Direct we call it.

As a result of our complaints, the Labor Inspectorate requires the Department of Education of the Generalitat to carry out this in all schools in the non-university public network and gives it until the day 9 of July of 2024 to make them effective.

Let's be on the lookout from all the work centers so that the annual regularity is met and maintained.

We encourage you to continue reporting to the Labor Inspectorate to further increase the pressure and public shame of the Generalitat. They take a year to respond, but it works.

We remind you that complaints to the Labor Inspectorate are free and guarantee the confidentiality of the person making the complaint.

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF TO REPORT AND DEMAND AN ANNUAL MEDICAL EXAMINATION AT YOUR SCHOOL, INSTITUTE! [also in any work center in any sector where it is not fulfilled]

We attach the link to the complaint model and the argument to be presented. For any doubts contact us:
