In Picking We had always been with what we believed were “the unions.”, commissions i Ugt. They came to us, They set up the entire electoral racket for us, we didn't have to worry about anything. Yes indeed, when it was necessary to negotiate in the Committee or when the company exceeded its abuses with some of the workers and they required advice and support to combat it, The answer was “it is what it is.”, the law is like that, "no more can be done". Imagine the anger and helplessness it generated in the squad.: suffer injustices, not knowing how to face them and having your supposed defenders ignore you because “it is what it is”.

Then we heard that from the Grífols laboratories, tired of the same, they had joined a union called CGT en masse, that we were always told that they were revolutionaries "they close companies", and now they were doing much better. What they did and what they demanded was what the workers themselves decided., vaya.

So that, some of us approached the place in Mollet del Vallès.

At first it gave crab, friendly but direct people. They didn't exactly promise us the golden sky and they did promise us that they would accompany us and help us., but that it was us who had to be aware of our rights and learn to claim them. You don't have to know much about laws, that the laws are written there to be used when necessary. And be able to go further.

The first day was perhaps not to return. but we came back.

And they helped us, wow they helped us, but they also passed on to us the responsibility of deciding and being sovereignly autonomous for the first time.. And that takes effort, it even hurts. But once you free yourself from the corset of clientelistic dependency, you fly, you feel brave, you dare to openly vindicate that which should be yours by right and that are not alms or crumbs from the Patron. It's called seeing clearly..

And we broke our chains with the collaborationist unions with the companies: We stand in union elections as ourselves, with the colleagues of the CGT.

And the day 23 November we vote. The emotion was great. Exhausted by the preparation work done, for the first time by ourselves, excitement for potential support (o no) of our own companions to the emancipatory process, fear of having shown our face and if we lost there would be consequences.

but we win. Sometimes the hunger for freedom also attracts the bird that lives comfortably fed in the cage.. Unbridled euphoria. Magic. At first we didn't believe it.

Now it's time to step firmly and begin the arduous task of vindicating the rights that have come to us during all these years. bullfighting the company with the invaluable collaboration of the “union advisors” of the unions-management. BUT NOW WE WILL DO IT, UNITED, WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES.

In this fight we have all been women, our 25N against corporate patriarchy.

A big grateful hug to the colleagues of the CGT of Vallès Oriental, all workers too.

Our small and modest revolution, but our.
