Post office strike Lliçà d'AmuntPress release:
The workers of the Lliçà d’Amunt Post Office are calling off the indefinite strike

Last monday 5 September, the workers of the Lliçà d'Amunt post office decided to definitively call off the indefinite strike called last 12 August due to lack of hiring. We want to remember that it remained suspended until the management's plans for this month were known..

At first they told us that they would not hire anyone., fact that motivated that on Friday 2 September it was decided to resume the same.

When the address knows the call for the same, It seems that they reacted and common sense has prevailed and they have hired a partner until the end of the month. With this fact the squad will have 7 effective in september.

If it hadn't been for this fight, this summer Lliçà d'Amunt would have had a postal service lower than one 50% of the template in some stripes of it.

The workers of the lliça post office encourage the group of colleagues from the different post offices to organize among themselves to defend the public service. We cannot allow brutal personnel cuts, We cannot allow there to be bag colleagues who do not call them because they are not hired..

We will remain vigilant so that situations like those of this summer do not occur again., and in any case if they are repeated, We would once again remain firm in mobilization as a tool to defend a universal and quality postal service

Thank you for the support received from the CGT union as well as neighbors, and entities from Lliçà d'Amunt.

If we fight we can lose, If we don't fight we are lost!!!

cgt-postCall for a strike by the distributors of Correos Lliçà d’Amunt for this Friday 12 August of 2016

It looks like the company is right and has announced the hiring of 3 people for the second half of August. Even so, we continue the strike call on Friday 12 August, because until the people are hired, we will not call off the strike. So far this summer, there has been no hiring by the company.

In the CGT we are not kidding: we know that there is a process of degradation of Post Offices, with the complicity and silence of the majority unions. But we follow the example of post offices in Algeciras and Madrid, because we also know and show that the struggle and action of workers for their own interests is a powerful tool that we have.

Correos is solely responsible for the current conflict situation. We insist again that the postal regulations are complied with in the parameters established in the Law 43/2010, from 30 of December, than in his article 24 picks up: “Deliveries will be made, at least, every working day, from Monday to Friday, except in the case of special circumstances or geographical conditions ”.

We invite you all to support your comrades in the fight for the post office, this Friday 12 August of 2016, in front of l’Lliçà d’Amunt City Council (Anselm Clavé Street, 73) them 12.00h.

The Post Office, we want more recruitment and less exploitation!

Poster CGT elections post office Bages1 2011_1The workers of Correos de repartimiento in Lliçà d’Amunt call an indefinite strike by the 3 last hours from the 12 against the degradation of the postal service

The past 25 In July, the delivery workers of Correos de Lliçà d’Amunt began a series of protests to denounce the degradation of the postal service suffered by the residents of Lliçà d’Amunt. As a result, the City Council asked to meet with us where we explained the shortages of staff suffering from the service. ( 50% Of the template ). Due to this fact, the City Council sent a letter to the company requesting improvements in the service. The only response that Correos has given to our workers ’protests has been to hire a worker until 12 August ( according to them to clean them almost 6000 objects we have a 3 August !) and the coverage of a surplus that will occur from the 3 week of August. Definitely, under these conditions it is impossible to comply with the deliveries established by postal regulations.

Due to this fact, this Monday 1 August the CGT ( with the approval of the assembly of delivery workers ) decided to call an indefinite strike of the 3 last hours from next Friday 12 of August. We don’t like having to make that decision ,but we cannot remain indifferent to the degradation of the postal service. In this way, we want to make a call for the residents of Lliçà d’Amunt to accompany us to the rally that we will convene at 12.00 in front of the City Council.

From now on, Correos will be solely responsible for the conflict situation that occurs in the service. We are once again urging Correos to comply with postal regulations within the parameters established by law 43/2010, from 30 of December than in his article 24 picks up: “Deliveries will be made, at least, every working day, from Monday to Friday, except in the case of special circumstances or geographical conditions ”.

On leaving the Óscar Sánchez offices (CGT), spokesperson for the Metro committee, considered TMB's latest offer a "provocation" and a "shame".. The workers ask that they be done 600 new fixed contracts – TMB offers 265 – and that the salary be increased linearly, the same increase for both those who earn more and those who earn less.

Mayor Ada Colau justified the council's position in a press conference saying that "there is a limited budget framework and if we went beyond the proposal we would be compromising the quality of the public service, or we should make the service worse or raise rates or raise taxes, that's why we can't go further". Councilwoman Mercedes Vidal added "a monthly salary increase of 150 euros the first any i 150 euros plus the second year we can't take it on".

Resolution of the Vienna trial against the CGT and the Strike Committee

 TRADE AND HOSPITALITY, COMMUNICATIONS, Concentration, strike, Judgment
Nov 232015
 

Juicio Viena, 23 nov 2015Hoy lunes 23 de noviembre se llevó a cabo el proceso judicial de los Estableciments Viena contra la CGT Vallès Oriental y contra los compañeros y compañeras del Comité de Huelga Viena que en junio de este 2015 llevaron adelante la Huelga de cinco días, para la readmisión de los compañeros previamente despedidos en una clara política empresarial de represión sindical contra nuestra organización, argumentando “bajo rendimiento” cuando en realidad lo que les molesta es que haya trabajadores y trabajadoras que se organizan en un sindicato combativo para reclamar condiciones laborales dignas.

Como conclusión del proceso judicial la empresa Viena retiró toda pretendida demanda por “huelga ilegal” contra la CGT y contra el Comité de Huelga, con la explicación de que hubo “defectos formales” en la efectivización de dicha huelga.

Entonces nuestra conclusión, corroborada en el documento emitido por el tribunal, es que la Huelga del Viena Montmeló además de haber sido un éxito por el seguimiento del 95% de la plantilla y la adhesión generalizada de la clientela concurrente al Gran Premio de MotoGP 2015, fue una huelga legal en toda su amplitud. Aceptamos los defectos formales por ser una condición que puso la empresa para retirar la demanda y para cerrar este capítulo, pero desde la CGT seguimos avalando su legitimidad y seguiremos reclamando por los derechos laborales de los trabajadores y trabajadoras. Porque hay algo que nos queda muy claro de todo esto: no nos detendrán en la lucha contra la prepotencia empresarial y por nuestros derechos, seguiremos plantando cara y exigiendo dignidad ante todo.

Donde sí están habiendo «defectos formales» e irregularidades es en el proceso de elecciones sindicales recientes, así como presiones y acoso tanto a huelguistas como a candidatas y candidatos de CGT. Presiones que se están sufriendo aún hoy día por parte de la empresa hacia nuestros compañeros y compañeras.

¡No nos callarán, seguiremos gritando donde siempre nos encontrarán: del lado de los trabajadores y trabajadoras, del lado de los sectores explotados, combatiendo el capitalismo!

¡Salud a los y las que luchan!
