Barcelona is not for sale!

Jan 232017
 

Durant els últims 40 anys Barcelona s’ha anat construint amb errors i encerts presidits per dos factors fonamentals: d’una banda l’especulació immobiliària i, de l’altra, la lluita dels barris per una ciutat digna i cosmopolita, que atresora una llarga història per a la supervivència de la ciutat i la seva gent.

Barcelona està en venda. En l’última dècada, el fenomen especulatiu ha adquirit una dimensió global, impulsat pel capital financer i la complicitat de les elits polítiques de Madrid i Catalunya, que volen transformar la ciutat en un gran negoci.

Davant d’aquesta situació, que porta al col·lapse de la ciutat, cal que lesveïnes i veïns aixequem la nostra veu i ens organitzem, unint les nostres forces per barrar el pas als “enemics de la ciutat”.

Pel dret a viure a la ciutat, cridem a tothom a ocupar La Rambla!

INACSA FA ASSETJAMENT LABORAL!
Solidaritat amb Manel Espejo, treballador injustament acomiadat

Concentració (pancartada) en suport i solidaritat cap al company Manel Espejo. L’empresa privada INACSA (Industrias del Acetato de Celulosa S.A.) a la qual treballava el va acomiadar injustament patint prèviament assetjament laboral.

La Concentració (pancartada) tindrà lloc el divendres 27 de gener del 2017 de les 13h a les 15h davant l’empresa INACSA situada a Ctra. Nova, 1B, 08476 Sant Celoni, Barcelona.

Manel Espejo (treballador de l’empresa INACSA i representant dels treballadors en el comitè d’empresa per part del sindicat CGT) va ser acomiadat després de patir assetjament laboral (un any aproximadament).

  • L’empresa INACSA li va restringir els seus drets sindicals prohibint-li l’entrada al recinte per poder exercir els seus drets com a representant dels treballadors.
  • En una reunió del comitè d’empresa el gerent va fer comentaris despectius cap al company M. Espejo. (Convidant-lo a marxar de l’empresa).
  • Per aquesta, i per moltes més actuacions per part de l’empresa, queda demostrat l’assetjament laboral al nostre company.

Contra l’assetjament laboral i els acomiadaments injustos tolerància zero!

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:

  • What we are?
  • What we want to do?
  • How we organize ourselves?

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.

If you think you need to work on this topic and are motivated to help as much as you can, come and participate.

Strike of cleaning workers in the City of Justice of Barcelona in 23 al 27 January

 Concentration, CLEANING UP
Jan 232017
 

Today the cleaning workers of the City of Justice have started a strike demanding the termination of the contract that the City of Justice has with Kluh Linaer. This company had a debt of more than four million euros with Hicenda, he owed money to many workers and even fired several of them for their union membership..

A hundred comrades gathered this morning in front of the city gates (in)Justice. And to the surprise of some, the company Kluh Linaer has hired today 9 netejador @ s and a supervisor to supply the strikers. An example of this “justice”, who sees before his eyes the violation of one of the fundamental rights such as the right to strike. The striking colleagues would have already made the corresponding complaint.

After 9 defaults on time, the workers of CGT Neteja Barcelona have said enough. The strike that began today and will continue this week, requires all our support.

Kluh Linaer does not pay and violates labor rights!
Termination of this company already!

Jan 202017
 

Barcelona City of Justice Cleaning StrikeStrike of the cleaning staff in the City of Justice of Barcelona, of Monday 23 to friday 27 from January

Concentration next Monday 23 January in the City of Justice, to 9 and at 11am.

From the CGT Cleaning of Barcelona a cleaning strike of the City of Injustice to demand the collection of pending wages and request that the contract of KLUH LINAER be terminated in this center. The latest news we have about it, is that on the day of the date the company has made the payments owed, but the force measures remain. The comrades of CGT Cleaning of Barcelona have decided in an assembly to continue with the strike, since it is not only the history of 9 defaults by the company KLUH LINAER, Rather, the termination of the contract with the same is requested by the Department of Justice.

In its CGT Cleaning Barcelona statement, colleagues state the reasons for the call and the strike.

We understand that those responsible for the City of Injustice and the Department of Justice are as responsible as Kluh Linaer for this situation., since it has consented and accepted that a company that owes money to workers and that gambles with the bread of its workers, be the award of a public contract that they manage and for which they are directly responsible. They can't stay looking the other way, as if the thing was not with them.

For the CGT, The contract must be terminated since the concession requirements are being breached by constantly failing with the obligations of its workers. We do not understand how the City of Injustice, which depends directly on the Department of Justice, has hired this company everything and knowing that this situation could occur. You have a history of defaults in many parts of the country where you have been granted the concession. Didn't they care what would happen to the families of these workers??, or was there a stronger reason to hire this company?, How can they hire a company that must 4 million euros to the Treasury and the salary to a lot of workers throughout the country?, How can it be that they hire a company that has been judicially convicted of firing workers for their union membership?

Until 9 times of delay in collecting payroll
Out with Kluh Linaer from the City of Injustice

 

We call on the affiliation to give support to our colleagues from CGT Cleaning of Barcelona, this next Monday at 9:00 am in the City of Justice.

Antifascists VendrellThe CGT supports the anti-fascists denounced by the leader of pxc and calls for participation in the rally of support
Note from the Regional Federation of the CGT Baix Penedès

From the CGT of the Baix Penedès we want to show and show our unconditional support to 4 denounced anti-fascists, 2 of them affiliates, by the caspós leader of the fascist and racist PxC formation.

Next Friday, 20 January, the anti-fascists denounced are summoned to testify in the Vendrell courts. From the CGT we understand that the only crime these comrades have committed is, it has been and will be the act of dealing with intolerance, segregation, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, the masculinity and hatred fostered by fascists in general and PxC in particular.

This fascist formation is seeing how it loses its support in El Vendrell, despite nurturing his populist discourse of the misfortunes suffered by migrants, by the exploited, for those who are nothing more than working class, just like subtraction. The population of El Vendrell is realizing that living with migrants is not a problem, and he is seeing that this political formation is completely empty of any content other than that of demagoguery and fascism.. However, we understand that the supports they still maintain are excessive.

On the other side, we do not understand that an advanced society can allow this kind of thinking to be represented in the institutions. This fact says a lot about them, in addition to tolerance towards them and more than obvious collusion. In fact, it was the Vendrell City Council who, despite being warned, allowed the proppassed day 23 April fascist formation “Respect” held its founding congress in our town. You should not allow such an act, in which the confluence of 3 fascist formations, as if this were normal, or did not represent a scandal and a clear harm to the population. This kind of discourse and political proposal should not be an option in our peoples and should not be so in the so-called democratic institutions..

For all that, we call on all the afflicted to participate in the support rally that will take place on Friday 20 from January to 9 in the morning at the doors of the courts of Vendrell.

Against fascism not a step back, They will not pass!
Fascism, neither in the Baix Penedès nor anywhere else!
If we touch one, they touch us all!

Solidarity with the four accused anti-facists, he 20 January in the Vendrell Courts

 antifascist, Concentration, Judgment
Jan 102017
 

c1bnsazxuaahgokNext friday day 20 from January, from the Support Group of the Prosecuted Antifascists, we appeal to participate in the solidarity gathering that will have place at 9 in the morning in front of the Vendrell courts. We want to support the accused anti-fascists, denounced by PxC and that morning they will testify before the judge. We invite all who reject racism to come, fascism and reject the repression against those who work for better towns and neighborhoods for all.

As you already know, four neighbors of the region have been denounced by Augusto Armengol, leader and councilor of PxC de Vendrell for his alleged participation in several calls last April 2016 against the Fundamental Congress of Respect. This new federation groups Platform for Catalonia, Fear of Liberty and Spain 2000, and it had the presence of Pegida in its founding act. They are Islamophobic and far-right formations and many residents of the region spoke out against. Not new to us: racism and xenophobia promote segregation, marginalization, hate and blame someone who seems to be different, that is why many people and various groups expressed their total rejection of these theses and their promotion.

This call is to accompany and support the four accused on the day of their declaration, to let them know that if they touch one they touch all of us, and also to refuse the complaint and the policies of PxC, passivity and tolerance against racism and fascism. So, as we said at the beginning, We invite all who flatly refuse to make room for fascism and racism to come next Friday 20 January at 9 in the morning before the courts of Vendrell, since…

… We are all neighbors, we have the skin color that we have, we have the religion that we have, or we don't have a head ...

... racism does not build, racism destroys us ...

… With solidarity and mutual support we weave our neighborhoods and towns and, as usual…

If they touch a, they touch us all!

Education CGT strike 18 January 2017CGT convoca vaga i concentració davant del Parlament el 18 de gener durant el debat de pressupostos per revertir les retallades a l’ensenyament públic #18GVagaEnsenyament

Per revertir les retallades a l’ensenyament públic:
Wednesday 18 of January of 2017

Concentració de 12 a 14h davant del Parlament

El sindicat CGT Ensenyament convoquem als i a les treballadores de l’ensenyament públic no universitari de Catalunya a una jornada de VAGA el DIMECRES 18 DE GENER, coincidint amb la setmana de debat d’esmenes parcials als pressupostos de la Generalitat de Catalunya per l’any 2017.

Des del passat mes d’octubre hem fet, junt amb altres sindicats, xerrades i assemblees a nombrosos centres explicant perquè considerem que ara és el moment de començar a revertir les retallades i perquè creiem que passar a l’ofensiva i anar a la vaga mentre s’estan debatent els pressupostosi aprofitant l’actual situació política a Catalunya ens dóna veritables opcions d’assolir les reivindicacions que plantegem.

Volem fer palès que aquesta convocatòria sorgeix després d’un treball i d’un debat previ amb la resta de sindicats, amb els quals vam concretar les reivindicacions i vam coincidir en la necessitat d’anar a la vaga per pressionar a l’administració perquè les incloguin dins dels propers pressupostos tal i com s’explica al manifest intersindical. També després de molts debats als centres, on molts companys i companyes han manifestat que consideren bàsic que aquesta no sigui una altra vaga d’un dia que serveixi només per expressar la nostra disconformitat sinó que es convoqui en uns terminis i amb unes perspectives de continuïtat que generin prou pressió com per aconseguir realment les reivindicacions plantejades.

És en aquest sentit que a la darrera reunió intersindical no hem pogut arribar a un acord pel que fa a la/les data/es de la vaga. La resta de sindicats de la intersindical han decidit convocar una única jornada de vaga el dia 9 February. Des de CGT entenem que és massa tard i amb les decisions sobre assignacions pressupostàries ja preses, atès que els debats d’esmenes parcials als pressupostos estan fixats entre el 16 and the 20 January (el d’ensenyament està previst per al 18 January) i que a més, no permet cap perspectiva de continuïtat possible dins dels terminis de l’aprovació definitiva dels pressupostos que tindrà lloc el mateix 9 de febrer sobre una proposta ja tancada. Fer una jornada de vaga aïllada i quan ja està tot decidit desvirtua el compromís que tots els sindicats havíem pres davant del professorat.

Des de CGT Ensenyament considerem fonamental que la vaga arribi abans, mentre s’estan debatent i decidint els pressupostos i que tingui possibilitat de continuïtat. És per això que, sense descartar més convocatòries, inclosa la del 9 February, us convoquem a aquesta primera jornada de vaga en ple debat d’esmenes parcials de l’àrea d’educació.

Davant d’aquest desacord en el calendari, el nostre plantejament a la intersindical ha estat que CGT convoquem ambdues dates, ratificant la segona amb els nostres companys i companyes, però la resta de sindicats ha decidit no incorporar-nos al cartell conjunt del 9 perquè no renunciem a convocar també el 18 January. Nosaltres seguim fent una crida a la resta de sindicats a fer una primera convocatòria de vaga mentre s’estan debatent i decidint els pressupostos d’ensenyament.

Es convoca concentració de 12 a 14h davant del Parlament de Catalunya. Properament concretarem les accions que acompanyaran la vaga i de l’assemblea que durem a terme per ratificar i concretar la seva continuïtat. Us demanem que feu difusió d’aquesta convocatòria i de les raons per les quals des de CGT trobem essencial que tingui lloc en els terminis esmentats. Si voleu que anem al vostre centre a explicar-ho i debatre-ho amb vosaltres o teniu qualsevol altre dubte o consideració no dubteu a contactar-nos.

CGT formation: Temporary hiringConference of affiliates and delegates of the CGT of Catalonia

taught by TSJC magistrate Carlos Hugo Preciado with the title: “Temporary recruitment and temporary contracts following recent EU court rulings”

The sentence of 14/09/2016 of the Supreme Court of Justice of the EU (SSTJUE) sets important limitations on the chaining of contingent contracts and interim contracts in public administrations. In order to know the basic aspects of the new legal situation and its possibilities for our trade union action, the CGT of Catalonia has planned the following

The training session will take place on Friday 13 January, from 10 a 14 h in the Fort Pienc Civic Center event room (Fort Pienc Square, 4-5, Barcelona) (link to map)

This issue affects public administrations in a very special way, in the field of health and education. Given that the capacity of the room is limited, we ask that you register in advance by email formacio@cgtcatalunya.cat indicating your federation/union/union section and the number of people.

El Tribunal Suprem avala que tots els sindicats puguin denunciar la vigència dels convenis

 labor law, News, Telemarketing
Dec 312016
 

Conveni TelemarketingCGT informa d’una transcendent sentència per a tota la negociació col·lectiva que dóna la raó a la demanda interposada en solitari per aquesta organització quant al conveni de Contact Center.

Fa més de dos anys CGT va denunciar la vigència del Conveni del Telemarqueting. Un conveni que havia tingut una vigència de 5 anys i que des del nostre punt condemnava als treballadors de Telemarqueting a la precarietat. Havia arribat el moment de negociar un nou conveni i de canviar les nostres condicions laborals.

Encara que després de la denúncia de CGT es va començar a negociar el nou conveni el Ministeri de Treball no va donar per vàlida nostra denúncia. Va dir el Ministeri de Treball que per començar a negociar el nou conveni havia d’haver-hi acord de la majoria sindicats de la taula, no valent la denúncia de CGT, un sindicat amb la representativitat suficient per a això.

En aquesta sentència del Ple de la Sala de Social del TRIBUNAL SUPREM (Sentencia núm. 1035/2016) ens dóna la raó i es declara la validesa de la denúncia del II Conveni Col·lectiu de Contact Center promoguda per CGT el 28 d’octubre de 2014. A més s’anul·la les Resolucions administratives impugnades, from 5 November 2014 (Sotsdirecció General de Relacions Laborals) i de 16 of December of 2014 (Ministeri d’Ocupació i Seguretat Social, Sotsdirecció General de Recursos) pel que es reconeix el dret de la CGT al fet que el Ministeri d’Ocupació i Seguretat Social registri el seu escrit de denúncia del II Conveni Col·lectiu de Contact Center.

La sentència deixa clar que “limitar la possibilitat de denunciar un conveni col·lectiu negociat conforme al Títol III del ET als qui ho han subscrit resultaria poc compatible amb la seva eficàcia normativa i general (art. 82.3 ET) i fins i tot podria presentar problemes de compatibilitat amb la llibertat sindical (art. 28.1 CE).”

A més abunda recalcat que “El pluralisme sindical queda indirectament soscavat si s’imposa una unitat d’acció per a un acte els efectes del qual no són directament normatius i l’abast dels quals pot venir condicionat pel conveni al fet que es refereix. En suma: solament si els termes legals són inequívocs hauríem de restringir la legitimació per denunciar el conveni als qui posseeixen legitimació plena per negociar. I les previsions normatives, lluny de ser inequívoques en tal direcció més aviat aboquen al resultat contrari.”

CGT es congratula d’aquesta sentència assolida en solitari contra el Ministeri de Treball, la patronal i la resta de sindicats legitimats per negociar aquest conveni, dels quals recorda que cap es va adherir a aquesta demanda. Aquesta sentència solament abunda a millorar els drets dels treballadors ara i en el futur ja que CGT utilitzarà tots els seus drets per defensar-los, malgrat a qui li pesi.

The real solidarity with refugees is paid repression, Mikel Begoña and Freedom!

 COMMUNICATIONS, International, Migrations, European Union
Dec 302016
 

Mikel Begoña and Freedom!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.

La campanya Desmilitaritzem l’Educació exigeix la no presència militar a l’Espai de l’Estudiant de Valls

 Antimilitarist, Education
Dec 282016
 

no-a-la-guerraEls col·lectius i entitats que donen suport a la campanya “Desmilitaritzem l’Educació” al Camp de Tarragona han entrat una instància als registres dels Serveis Territorials d’Ensenyament a Tarragona, al de la Diputació de Tarragona i al de l’Ajuntament de Valls on s’hi demana que aquestes institucions escoltin la veu del Parlament i apliquin la Moció sobre la Desmilitarització de Catalunya i duguin a terme totes les accions i gestions necessàries, adoptin les mesures adequades i pertinents i vetllin perquè l’exèrcit deixi de tenir presència d’ara endavant en les properes edicions de l’Espai de l’Estudiant que es celebra a Valls cada any.

La campanya té com a objectiu la defensa d’espais de lleure i formatius lliures d’exèrcits i d’armes i vol donar resposta a una reclamació de tota la comunitat educativa de fa temps que, sens dubte, ha esdevingut un autèntic anhel social. El document entrat a registre recorda als representants institucionals el text de la moció que fa referència a la presència de l’exercit, en aquest cas, a l’espai que s’organitza a la capital de l’Alt Camp:

e. Evitar la presència de l’exèrcit en qualsevol centre educatiu i de formació i evitar també que sigui present a espais educatius i promocionals, com el Saló de l’Ensenyament, el Saló de la Infància, a Barcelona; el Saló d’Esport i Turisme de Muntanya o la Fira de Formació Professional, a Lleida; l’ExpoJove, de Girona; o l’Espai de l’Estudiant, de Valls.

La Plataforma Desmilitaritzem l’educació lamenta que sigui la plataforma la que s’hagi d’encarregar de fer el seguiment de l’aplicació d’un mandat del Parlament, tasca que haurien de fer les mateixes institucions, però alhora assegura que no cedirà fins que aquestes instruccions es facin efectives a tots els espais educatius perquè té clar que les armes no eduquen, les armes maten.

Els col·lectius que donem suport a la campanya són: Campanya Desmilitaritzem l’Educació, Coordinadora Tarragona Patrimoni per la Pau, CUP el Camp, Deixem de ser una illa-Secció Sindical de CGT Ensenyament Tarragona, USTEC Tarragona, Coordinadora Obrera Sindical (COS) el Camp, Endavant El Camp, Stop Mare Mortum Tarragona, Sindicat d’Estudiant dels Països Catalans (SEPC) el Camp, Arran el Camp, Casal Sageta de Foc de Tarragona, Casal Popular La Turba de Valls, Ateneu Llibertari Alomà de Tarragona.

He 31 of December, a Barcelona, and in many other cities around the world, we live the New Year in a different way.

Durant 20 years we have approached the Wad-Ras women's prison, at the CIE in Zona Franca and in the old Model prison to send our voice to those people who are locked up and those who keep them inside.

"Because you do all this if it's useless? Prisons have always existed!
If they weren’t there, the thieves, murderers and rapists, they would camp the world without the punishment they deserve, Hi?”

We are told that the law is the same for all but the 80% of the inmate population is for reasons related to social inequalities and private property, and the 99% belongs to the popular classes.

We are told that someone who has done something wrong is in prison, but Spain has one of the highest rates of prisoners in Europe.. However, it has one of the lowest crime rates on the continent. We add the gag law to it?

In the meantime…
Real thieves work in banks and companies.
The real killers patrol our cities with impunity.
The rapists are forgiven and the victims are questioned.

Prison is a weapon of the rich and powerful against the poor and dissidents!

For a society without exploiters or exploited, for a society without aggressors or victims, for a future without powers or repression.

We walk together against the prison!

 

 

CGT does not participate in False Mobilizations

 COMMUNICATIONS, Labour reform
Dec 132016
 

Communiqué of the Permanent Secretariat of the Confederal Committee of the CGT

CGT will not attend these "instrumental mobilizations of the regime unions on the days 15 i 18 of December" since the only thing they aim for is to position themselves, with "some legitimacy", in the social dialogue negotiations they have been carrying out with the different governments since 1977.

The unions of the Concertation have been basic tools for the domestication of wage earners, inserting them into the unique dynamics of the continued Social Pact, signing the Labor Reforms – increasingly precarious – and thereby allowing employers to maintain or improve their rates of profit and to implement a neoliberal and deregulated model of working conditions. They have guaranteed with this the “pau social” in exchange for prominence and prebends for their organizations and their domes.

These unions, with huge membership in past dates, with influence in all strata, with a presence at all negotiation tables, omnipresent in television and media, participants in business dinners, governmental and unofficial, they admitted the European Union unconditionally in the 86 and they admitted Maastricht in the 93. Then they only made grandiloquent statements and did not lift a finger against this Europe of Capital and the Markets.

The several dozen Labor Reforms since the Moncloa Pacts (1977) and Public Pension Systems, until the last Reform of the PP in 2012, they have destroyed the counterpower of the working class, through these "consensus and social dialogue" policies, leaving us in a situation of integral precariousness, poverty and social inequality, to extremes never known in the Spanish state.

Despite fiscal policies, tax and social, called "adjustment and austerity", they have never taken to the streets with serious and firm intentions to confront these criminal policies that have been implemented against the majority of people.

to mobilize, it is to have conviction and the will to search, present and defend alternatives and actions with which:

- Oppose collective redundancies (to millions) through the ERE.
- Oppose the fact that the unilateral will of the employer determines the working conditions.
- Oppose the fact that workers lose the agreements and our labor relations are individualized and available to the employer.
- Oppose the lowering of wages, on the double salary scales.
- Defend the stable and fixed contract in all markets, both public and private and do not accept contracts and subcontracts, job loan, outsourcing, privatizations...
- Defending the Public and the reversion to the Public of everything privatized.
- Defending the rights and freedoms that have been stolen from us and confronting the repression they have developed against the most consistent people of the class they claim to represent.

The CGT is in the streets with those who suffer, with precarious and precarious, with the millions of people whose work has been taken away from them, the ceiling (home), the pa (salary and social benefits), freedom, and with the social majority, that we have been scammed with policies that have "saved the banks with hundreds of billions", to companies and the rich, through lowering their taxes, and occupations have been carried forward, pensions, Health, education and care...

The mobilizations of 15-M, the tides, the Dignity Marches, the Platforms in defense of the Public, alternative trade unionism, yes we have legitimacy, because we have proposed alternatives, because we have carried out processes of self-management and an alternative social economy and because WE HAVE BEEN IN THE STREETS confronting this predatory capitalism.

The "unions of the regime", not only have they been hidden all the time of the crisis-scam but that, in your "DNA", it is recorded that "collaboration with governments and business" is where they have their raison d'être.

CGT will return to the streets to defend the claims and proposals that we have never abandoned, those from whom we build a society of all, egalitarian, and we understand that, as the slogan we shout in the Manifestations says:

"THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, OR WITH THE EMPLOYER, OR WITH THE WORKING CLASS"

In this process, you will find an opportunity to put an end to it
