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:

– 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).

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.
