From the General Confederation of Labor we want to show our full support and solidarity with all refugees from Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos, who have had to be evacuated as a result of the fires that have destroyed the Refugee Camp where they were living badly since their arrival on the island after fleeing their countries of origin.

A few members want to set up a group to think and act against borders with a view to the free movement of people but also taking into account what causes the need to migrate and seek refuge., as well as the everyday borders that lie in or around our city (YOU, deportations, racism, farms…)
There is a lot of work ahead and the more we are the better. If you want to get involved, we invite you to a meeting in which we will try to define ourselves by finding answers to:
The meeting will be next Wednesday 25 from January to 18:30 at the headquarters of the CGT of Catalonia (C / Burgos 59, downs, very close to Sants Station) open to anyone affiliated with the CGT of Catalonia.

Once again. If a few weeks ago our partner Lola had to suffer the real face of a Europe sick of undisguised institutional racism, now it's Begoña and Mikel's turn. As part of a campaign of disobedience, members of the Permanent Social Forum of Euskal Herria have been arrested 28 of December by Greek police, while trying to get eight refugees into a caravan.
The story that each refugee carries in her backpack has several pages of dangerous paths, sometimes fleeing wars or political persecutions, others of misery. If you are lucky enough not to be one more number to add to the thousands of drownings in the Mediterranean every year, a clandestine life awaits you across borders until you reach your destination, where the state repressive apparatus will look for you to lock you in a CIE or send you to a safe area, such as a Turkish concentration camp.
In this succession of crimes against humanity there are people who extend their hand in solidarity. This is unacceptable to states. And that's because it's not just about questioning the racist assembly of fortress Europe, but because it also dismantles false institutional discourses: a rotten mask that can no longer cover the true face of the European capitalist system.
The CGT of Catalonia shows its active solidarity with the two detained comrades and makes itself available to its support group.

The so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Agreement (TTIP in English), they intend to sign between the European Union and the US, and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA in English), between the European Union and Canada, are two “agreements” who try to sneak us in secret and wanting to go unnoticed, but that would totally transform our reality as workers, and as citizens in our societies.
These two “agreements” they seek to equate the legal frameworks on both sides of the Atlantic to the laws that prioritize profit and theft by multinationals and large economic corporations, with the complicit collaboration of states, governments, intermediaries, companies and other parasites of the capitalist system.
These agreements that they would sign between them, but that in the first place affect us and us, the working class, they are an attack to outline the new panorama that they intend to establish, pretending to argue with the great lie of “economic growth” and the “competitiveness”. In addition to all the areas affected by these treaties, like the ecological, the sanitary, the agrarian, the legal, the politician, The education, etc, obviously sets its sights on the productive system, In the laboral world. If the path to follow is the Yankee labor model, we have it clear.
Attack on labor rights
Regarding labor and trade union rights, keep in mind that harmonization could result in downward equalization. In the United States, labor and union rights are conspicuous by their absence, while in the European Union for now they are guaranteed, but not harmonized, at least formally.
The US has only signed two of the eight agreements of the International Labor Organization (OIT), those opposed to child labor and slave labor, but not those that refer to collective bargaining or the right to organize and associate. Nor has it ratified the International Covenant on Economic Rights (including labor, union and health), social and cultural, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. In the US there are “facilities to work” (availability for employment or employability), instead of work. The call has been placed Workfare, the acceptance of any job under pressure by the unemployed (From a neoliberal vision, the unemployed are held responsible for their own situation, and not to the socioeconomic context that produces unemployment, poverty and inequality), which is also paradoxically called right to work (right to work). The minimum wage is not established, or safety and health in the workplace.
In addition to all the areas affected by these treaties, we highlight the direct attack that they mean to our rights as workers, already beaten enough for years, but telling that we are still fighting and claiming a world of equal and free people, without flags or borders, without masters or slaves.
Actions against TTIP and CETA
For all this, from the CGT del Vallès Oriental we convene and inform about the actions against the TTIP and the CETA that we will carry out this next Thursday 13 October in Mollet del Vallès, with information tables in the morning and afternoon, reporting on the meaning and scope of these treaties, and how they would affect our lives and that of the planet as a whole. Likewise, he Saturday 15 October a international day of fight against TTIP in all Europe, to which we joined with the screening of an explanatory documentary video and the subsequent debate talk, in Marineta, Saturday 15 October at 6pm.
From the CGT Vallès Oriental we denounce and say NO to these capitalist agreements whose sole objective is to totally dismantle the working class to impose a slave labor market at bargain prices and without any kind of rights..
NO al TTIP, CETA and other free trade agreements!!

A ruling by the ECJ questions the different compensation between permanent and temporary contracts. Lawyers believe that the decision to force changes in the Workers' Statute.
The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (TWENTY) questioning the treatment that is given in the Spanish labor market before the indefinite temporary contracts in the event of termination has caused a reaction of interpretations of social, Governments and law. The ruling by the European Court in Luxembourg which requires a worker interim compensation will reverse much of the Spanish labor legislation. There are clear deadlines for this legislation meets this sentence but, moment and while this does not happen, the arguments used by the European Court allow the plaintiffs to have more legal force to convince the judges.
The ruling dynamite all the way recruitment has been doing that all administrations in Spain, both local, the regional and state, procurement of staff in the administration. Which requires a large-scale policy change, not only of the Workers' Statute, which of course should be modified to reflect this judgment, but also regional standards should be modified.
It is a very important decision, which will mark a before and after, and said that a temporary worker should be compensated like it would be a permanent worker when his contract ends.
0 days per year worked is the compensation received by an employee acting once the employment relationship ends.
12 days per year worked receives compensation as a temporary employee once the employment relationship.
Spanish legislation contains various compensation once the employment relationship ends: 12 days per year worked in labor contracts, 20 days per year in permanent dismissal and with 33 days with the permanent unfair dismissal. the interim, meanwhile, have a temporary contract that does not entitle them to compensation once the employment relationship ends. There are also training contracts, without any compensation after timeout.
“The EU-Turkey agreement is almost human trafficking”
This is an attack on "European values". In recent days, Central European leaders have used the phrase to refer to the terrorist attacks in Brussels in 22 March, which ended the life of 35 people. And is that the European Union, according to its Charter of Fundamental Rights, “It is based on the indivisible and universal values of human dignity, of freedom, equality and solidarity; is based on the principle of democracy and the rule of law. ”.
Nor do they represent us, they don't even care. Today all over this Capitalist Europe the press talks about the new summit, the nth, in which experts (there is an inexplicable majority of "them" over "them") Together with the theorists responsible for migration policies, they will put the same arguments on the table as always.
And it is that this EU was born with an "original sin" with which it will always have to live: the people did not ask for it nor did it, he thought it, organized and formalized capital through the shaping hands of his servants in governments.
It is not a Europe of the people, it is a Europe of goods, capital and finance.
CGT already denounced it when they were forming it; we repeat it when Rome, Maastricht o Lisboa; We denounce it together with the ESF and together with the anti-globalization movements in Brussels, Madrid, Prague o Genoa (Health, Carlo!).
Those who gather at these Summits have come out of ballot boxes that, more than any other, they are far, far away, of your constituents. If any Parliament represents for CGT a wrong way of managing society through the quadrennial delegation of powers of the citizen, those of the European Parliament are its maximum expression of remoteness and appropriation.
To top, the chosen ones seem the best selection of uselessness to find solutions. They are a directive machine, we have thousands, for any small matter. But they have not given a solution to a single problem that real citizens - those who ask for work, food and roof instead of circus, speculation and prada bags- they have been raised.
And now, when thousands of people flee the effects of weapons manufactured - and therefore sold- from public or private companies in our countries; when thousands of them leave their homes for distant "paradises" due to the incompetence of our management - whether active or passive- in international conflicts; the only thing we know how to tell them, from glass palaces like the European Parliament or the House of Lords, is that the crisis has hit us and that right now we only need highly qualified or under-qualified labor, but that they come with a dropper and with a total disposition to exploitation.
Some of those well-dressed European parliamentarians argued in their defense that migration issues, habitually, and even more at this time of wars and massive displacement, are highly difficult to manage. We ask ourselves, what is the use of having experts and professional politicians if it is not for the difficult?
What happens is that they know who they represent, to the owners of money and merchandise. The only thing that matters is keeping their masters happy, not its people. And we can add that their masters are not the ones who pay their salary, that comes from our taxes. Doesn't that sound weird?
CGT supports any action of solidarity with migrants, refugees or whatever you want to call, always focusing on that no person is illegal, that we are not merchandise and that the best solution is the one that allows no one to have to forcibly leave their place of origin.
While the summit is being held, Erdogan continues to bomb Kurdish cities, (Cizre y Diyarbakir) with the acquiescence of the EU, that financially endows the Turkish State to retain refugees fleeing wars. The EU, look the other way and in this way legitimate barbarism and violation of human rights.
We and we will continue to give our solidarity to all those forced to abandon their land and their homes.
