Yesterday Friday in the Can Mulà Park, we had the concert with the «Scandol Jackson" and the "Muyayo Rif», who despite the rain, of that damn rain that there was not in the whole month and had to arrive in our region just the day of the open-air concert, when we expected the assistance of the people of Mollet to spend a night of partying.

Well despite that rain, we had the party the same, the concert was growing in fun and attendance, until reaching fifty people dancing and enjoying the music of the Scandol Jackson and the party magic of the Muyayo Rif.

Thanks to the musicians, to the militants and organizers, to the public attendance, We can say that despite the rain, we still got ahead and had a good night of music with colleagues., justifying that popular saying of bad weather, good face, and thinking about the activities that are left for these days, and the social struggle that lies ahead.

19 of July, Anarchism, Cultural, Libertarian days, libertarian pedagogy, Social revolution

Jul 222016

Thursday we had the presentation of the book "Anarchy works", with the presence of Peter Gelderloos, author of the book and militant libertarian.

With the assistance of twenty people, Peter explained the basic lines of his book, with historical and current examples of social practices self-defined as anarchists and others, without proclaimed anarchists, in his practice of self-organization, self-management and autonomy, have many elements that link to the ideal and practical libertaria.

The discussion also check our need to promote self-organization and autonomy of social movements, from a perspective libertaria, the need to rebuild and strengthen solidarity ties that make us free people, and to oppose capitalist barbarity that day after day trying to destroy these ties.

Thanks to Peter and to the comrades who came to listen and participate in this interesting debate.

Thursday 21 July, presentation of the book "Anarchy works"

19 of July, Anarchism, Cultural, Libertarian days, libertarian pedagogy, Social revolution

Jul 202016

Following the Conference on the 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution, It is Thursday 21 of July to 19:00 h, at the Civic Center Can Pantiquet, will present the book "The works Anarchy», with the presence of its author Peter Gelderloos. Here we reproduce a synthesis of the formulation of the book.

Examples of different times and places. Near 90. A third of them are directly experiences anarchists; the rest, “stateless”, “autonomous” The “antiauthoritarian”. More than half correspond to the current western society. Examples that make up the book of the author anarchist Peter Gelderloos, “The works anarchy”, published in 2008 in its English edition (what the reader should keep in mind when approaching the book and assess examples) and in 2014 in Spanish. A collection of experiences that demonstrate how a society is possible “alternative” based on mutual support, horizontal decision-making and self-organization.

The author raises questions over a text of almost 300 pages divided into sections (“Human nature”, “decisions”, “Economy”, “Environment”, “Crime”, “Revolution”…). The overall answer lies in the title of the book, an assertion: the works anarchy. One of the first questions (page 26) is “Are not selfish people by nature?”. The author responds with the US case. You can question of the “most selfish country of the world”. “But even in the United States It is easy to find examples of institutional cooperation that make up an important part of society“.

Capitalism has selfishness as one of its great philosophical foundations, in addition to the warrior status, competitive and patriarchal people. Nevertheless, a century that Kropotkin published “Mutual support”, which argues that in humans there is an inclination to solidarity and mutual help. This is, in fact, a core element for the evolution of societies, rather than competition. Even more, Solidarity is a non-exclusive tendency of people, because it can also be seen in many mammalian species, birds, fish and insects. Another widespread belief that fights Gelderloos is to consider the West as the pinnacle of progress and complexity. The author considers that incurs “eurocentrismo” who considers the hunter-gatherer, possibly knowledgeable about the use of a thousand different plants, as less “sophisticated” the operator of a nuclear power plant (possibly this, unlike the individual devoted to hunting and gathering, does not know the origin of the food you eat).

And all're all invited to come and participate!

The following is the presentation of the film.

“Free women was an autonomous organization, outside the structures of any organ of the libertarian movement. Without giving up his anarchist roots practiced a worker feminism. They were labeled aimed at preparing women to participate in first person in the libertarian revolution. That is to say, They wanted to train women, They are suffering high rates of illiteracy and attract them to the libertarian movement. They had to fight a culture of deep Catholic roots and, the most painful, against indifference if not contempt of his colleagues libertarias. Despite having reached more than 20.000 affiliates only in the Republican zone, They never were admitted as part of the General Council of the Libertarian Movement. With this documentary we tried to find out what they thought, what his political approach and how they developed their work.

To achieve this we have interviewed two direct protagonists of this story, Conchita Liaño and Sara Berenguer. Both took part actively front line in the glorious days of July the 36. Both with considerable political and human baggage.”

First of commemorative days of the 80 Social Revolution Anniversary.

Awesome !! The exhibition… 26 panels that tell us about the libertarian movement, AIT, self-management, anarchosyndicalism and Communism Libertario inter.

After the documentary was passed “economy Col.lectiva” It is showing how in the early months of the Spanish Civil War, in Catalunya men and women workers, stop after the coup, companies took, the collectivized, reduced workplaces and improved their facilities and machinery, improving productivity and quality in the produce, unifying wages, introducing some companies the family wage, although what is given more is the reduction of differences between occupational categories, medical care for l @ s @ s worker who could not work and a similar or equal to the obrer @ activ salary is guaranteed @, 60a retirement with salary between 50 and the 85%, It is reduced unemployment by creating new jobs and working hours reduciedo… what became clear was that the work had, It had to distribute. As an example in the collectivized barbershops one shift 8h is replaced by two 6 and a half hours a day, and Textile Industry Badalona working time is reduced to 32h weekly.
the price is low rent, increase public performances (cinemas, theaters…), schools are created, training centers for l @ s worker @ s, libraries, journals, it improves water supply system, the light, the transports, communications and lower prices for all services.

It's the economy at the service of citizens, without bosses or masters and the margin of any government, so autogestionaria.

Are the years that Catalonia is more independent in its history without a doubt, It has its police, Your army, has it all ... until May the 37 which is operated by the central government.

It also shows how from the government led by the Socialist Largo Caballero and then by Juan Negrin, fearful of social and economic transformations in Catalunya, boycotted the whole process, they did not want it to work collectivization. They also had fear that the people of Catalonia majority unionist had a power of weapons
On the one hand were the CNT, FAI and POUM, Supporters of collectivization and secondly the UGT (who had participated in the collectivization), PSUC, left Republicans, the Government of the Generalitar directed by Lluis Companys and the central government that boycotted the whole process to destroy.

Jordi Viader finally we talked about the Dairy Industry Socialized, how it was conducted collectivization, improvements of machines, the installations, unification of dairies and happened several photos on the topic…

You can see everything (unless documentary) in this video.

Days program for the 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution (1936-2016)

19 of July, Cultural, Libertarian days, MISCELLANEOUS, libertarian pedagogy, Social revolution

Jul 122016

Companions, companions,
are met 80 years of summer 1936, when workers and popular classes took to the streets to stop the coup and start an impetuous process: Social Revolution.
In a few months enormous social advances were achieved as never before in the history of mankind: collectivization of industry and field, secular and libertarian education, participation of the people in all areas of decision, an active and equal role of women in economic activity and radical transformation of society.
Anarchy dream, but also forged, he got up…

Today like yesterday, 80 years later, from the CGT union we continue to struggle daily in our workplaces, in the streets and squares, both neighborhoods as well as in social networks, in schools and universities, in all areas where the capitalist system seeks to take away the dignity, our freedom, our lives as free people, autonomous and solidary, our social spaces so often trampled upon and rebuilt many times. You spent decades, but we @ s still fighting, we continue dreaming and building a world free of borders, free of oppressors and parasites, a world of equal and free people.

We @ s know a way to commemorate the past: Confronting this we do this bleak, we do vindicating those same libertarian principles, and we do it in order to change all our society and globally, by building an egalitarian society, solidary and libertarian.

And this time we do also from culture, from music to move our bodies and hearts, from history and present ideas to flow like water, from the share with comrades talk about good times and freedom.

In this summer they meet 80 years from when our society carried out the transformation dreamed of for decades: the libertarian social revolution.

From the CGT we organize the celebration of this 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution, not only as a recovery of the historical memory that we need so much as a society, to understand the current moment and to perceive where we are going, but also to see that those who so often treat us as utopian, dreamers of impossible things, You are wrong, because we keep dreaming and acting to turn everything around, so that this capitalist system ends up falling and then build and consolidate a libertarian society, open, egalitarian, a society where the priority is once again people and not the market, where people can develop as free and supportive beings and where social freedom is the parameter and measure for all human relationships.

On Friday of next week we start the activities, what you can see in this poster and program.

Health!

Ermengol Gassiot letter to the folks of the CGT of Catalonia: 11 peak years in prison

COMMUNICATIONS, Judgment, Repression

Carta a companyes i companys: 11 peak years in prison

Ara que ja és públic, penjo la carta que he enviat a les meves companyes i companys de sindicat un cop hem conegut la petició fiscal pel cas 27 and more. Per si no ho recordeu, fa més d’un any la universitat on treballo, la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, va denunciar junt a una vice-rectora i altres persones a 25 estudiants i 2 workers (un company del PAS i jo mateix) per un seguit de lluites sindicals i socials. Tot plegat ho podeu seguir també al blog de la CGT-UAB.

Companyes/ companys

Des que sóc secretari general de la CGT de Catalunya mai he volgut adreçar-me a vosaltres de manera personal, ja que entenia que l’SP de la CGT de Catalunya som un equip i volem expressar-nos com a tal. No obstant, avui he optat per fer-ho. I us explico el motiu. Com ja sabeu, fa un any i pocs mesos la secció sindical de CGT a la UAB va denunciar que la UAB havia iniciat un procés repressiu, amb denúncia penal inclosa, contra 25 students, un treballador del PAS i jo mateix.

Ara hem rebut l’escrit d’acusació de la fiscalia. En ell, en el que a mi m’afecta, formula les següents peticions per haver participat en una roda de premsa on donàvem, la CGT i altres col·lectius sindicals, recolzament a una ocupació de protesta al rectorat de la UAB:

Delicte continuat desordres públics: 2 anys i 10 mesos de presó
Delicte de violació de domicili jurídic: 2 anys i 9 mesos de presó
Delicte de danys: 2 anys i 10 mesos de presó
Delicte continuat coaccions : 3 years
Prohibició d’accés a la UAB (i, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, al meu lloc de treball) durant 5 years

Quan la notícia es faci pública hi haurà un comunicat de la CGT al respecte. Mentre, simplement, us volia en confiança posar en coneixement de la situació que encara no és pública. No cal que us digui que el ministeri fiscal segueix ordres del govern i que l’acusació és un autèntic despropòsit jurídic, segons asseguren els i les nostres advocades. Tenim molt clar que respon a una voluntat política d’atacar la lluita sindical i social contra la privatització de les universitats i els negocis que empreses i alguns professors/es fan amb aquest procés. Tenim molt clar que, Besides, és un atac directe també a la CGT que tant a la UAB, a altres universitats i en molts altres espais protagonitzem una lluita en contra els interessos del capital i del poder.

Tot plegat, ens dóna encara més energia per seguir el camí que hem emprés.

Health, lluita i llibertat

The CGT of Catalonia in the face of the serious and delirious imputation a 27 people from the UAB, among them our general secretary

COMMUNICATIONS, Judgment, Repression

Jul 062016

Comunicat de la Confederació General del Treball de Catalunya

Volem informar que ens ha arribat l’escrit d’acusació de la fiscalia per les protestes estudiantils i sindicals a la UAB durant la primavera del 2013, durant les quals es va ocupar l’edifici del rectorat de la UAB l’any 2013. En una successió d’imputacions que qualifiquem de delirants i aberrants, s’acumulen peticions de presó que arriben fins els 11 anys i 5 mesos pel nostre secretari general, el professor Ermengol Gassiot, i peticions semblants per a 25 estudiants i un treballador del PAS (personal d’administració i serveis), delegat al comitè d’empresa del PAS pel sindicat CAU-IAC.

L’Ermengol, com a delegat de la Confederació General del Treball a la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona i membre del Comitè d’Empresa, va donar suport als estudiants que van ocupar el rectorat l’any 2013, que posteriorment es va convertir en una ocupació de tots els col·lectius en lluita de la UAB, així com també a les mobilitzacions universitàries que es van realitzar durant el curs 2012-2013. En totes les ocasions, va mantenir una ferma lluita sindical contra l’anterior equip de rectorat. En la mencionada ocupació, alguns professors i personal d’administració i serveis (NOT) van mostrar la seva solidaritat amb la seva presència a l’edifici, i fent les seves classes al rectorat.

La Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona s’ha personat com a acusació particular del present procediment. Es tracta de la primera vegada des del franquisme que una universitat pública denuncia penalment un professor i un membre del PAS per la seva pràctica político-sindical. I també és una situació quasi inèdita el fet que una universitat pública hagi denunciat penalment els seus propis estudiants.

La UAB no només s’ha personat com a acusació particular, sinó que també ha redactat informes per a la policia i ha perseguit clarament a aquelles persones que van ser contràries a la candidatura de l’anterior rector, Ferran Sancho. Tot plegat ha fet que el present procediment conformi una persecució indiscriminada de la lluita sindical i, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, en una clara vulneració de l’exercici de drets fonamentals.

Aquesta brutal repressió i peticions fiscals basades en la revenja ideològica tenen com a objectiu acoquinar l’estudiantat, la comunitat universitària i la població en general.

Denunciem la persecució ideològica a la UAB contra tota oposició a la política de retallades i agressions a la universitat pública. Denunciem la responsabilitat i instigació de l’equip de Ferran Sancho en aquesta denúncia. Denunciem les mentides i revenges de l’ex-vicerectora Sílvia Carrasco, personada com acusació particular a la causa.

I recordem que a la CGT de Catalunya quan ens toquen a una ens toquen a totes, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, no ens quedarem de braços creuats mirant com actituds feixistes pretenen engarjolar al nostre secretari general i a 26 persones que simplement feien una ocupació en defensa dels drets de totes i tots a una universitat pública, social i de qualitat.

First mobilization in the history of the Social Sector. Companies enriching themselves at the expense of the most fragile and taking advantage of the goodwill of the professionals who work with them.
We are going to scream their hypocrisy in their faces!

Communiqué of the Social Sector CGT

Companions!

As many of you already know, tomorrow we will hold a rally at the inauguration of the Third Sector Table Congress. There will be the representatives of the employer and the whole gang of politicians who “entities” they have invited. Our intention is to give a bath of reality to this great marketing operation that is repeated year after year while our conditionss labor are precarious to intolerable limits. Tomorrow (Tuesday 14) we will be at 17.30 at the door of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya and they will have to listen to us. We invite you to come and spread the word about the call and the text below. (and that we will distribute during the concentration). Faced with an agreement that protects precariousness, an employer who does not respect us, ineffective unions that negotiate our misery, we have to move!

Remember, Tuesday 14 at 5.30 p.m. in front of the door of the National Theater of Catalonia
(next to the new Encants market).

insecurity, unionism and socialization of conflict

Training, libertarian pedagogy, Repression

Jun 072016

Article by Josep Garcia, Training Secretary of CGT Catalonia

We are following with interest all the debate that has been taking place lately, especially here in the city of Barcelona, around neighborhood unionism. We are interested, to the extent that it is clear that there are activist sectors, sectors of social movements, who feel the need to put the field of salaried exploitation on their agenda of struggle, and generate territorialized networks of solidarity and mutual support to defend labor rights through direct action.
This seems important to us, because we know that there are many people who have lived on their backs for a long time in the world of salaried work, while generating a discourse of rejection that prevented them from conceiving this as a battlefield (just as we conceive of other spaces in our everyday life as such), and this despite having to earn the carobs, like most, allowing themselves to be exploited in the capitalist market.

I think that all of us here must have spent many hours of our lives in our neighborhoods or towns building spaces of autonomy with many other people, self-management projects, etc. For some of us, that we have arrived at trade unionism from militancy in social movements, it has always been difficult to understand that there were colleagues who were hyperactive in a thousand moves outside of work, but what, However, were completely canceled once they crossed the door of the work center. That they become there in what we call a "Padefo" (in other words that is, a “Fucking Step”). As if work is not part of life, as if the job (what, we already know, it is a space of alienation) was not also a key determinant of our possibilities to realize ourselves, individually and collectively.

Front el desallotjament del Banc Expropiat, estenem la resposta

Comunicat CGT Catalunya

Front el desallotjament del Banc Expropiat, estenem la resposta

El desallotjament del Banc Expropiat ahir al barri de Gràcia de Barcelona ens ha mostrat, de nou, la veritable cara de la política d’estat. Com, entre les bambolines de pomposes declaracions institucionals, el sistema polític continua prioritzant la propietat a les persones. El Banc Expropiat era un edifici buit. Sense cap us. I des de feia pràcticament un any molts col·lectius socials del barri barceloní de Gràcia l’havien reobert. De tal manera que les seves dependències, abans buides i plenes de pols, es van convertir en espais de reunions, debats i múltiples activitats. La reobertura de l’edifici com un espai col·lectiu havia tingut lloc després de que un Banc Expropiat anterior, al mateix barri, hagués estat desallotjat per la policia.

Ahir van tornar. Al matí, durant tot el dia i a la nit la policia, sota les ordres de la Generalitat de Catalunya, va prendre de nou el barri. L’objectiu era eliminar aquest espai de construcció d’alternatives que el propi barri havia construït. Retornar, a la política d’estat, de la propietat privada i del capital, un espai que havia passat a ser de la nostra política. La del poble, la dels precaris i precàries, la dels que bàsicament només posseïm la dignitat i la nostra força de treball.

Ahir al vespre la resposta a aquesta nova agressió va ser multitudinària i es va estendre pels carrers de Gràcia. Avui hi ha convocatòries per mostrar la solidaritat amb el Banc Expropiat, és dir, amb nosaltres mateixes, a molts barris i viles de Catalunya. Des de la CGT de Catalunya fem una crida a participar-hi. A ser part activa de la defensa dels espais alliberats, esgarrapats a l’especulació per a convertir-los en casals i centres socials. Fa poques setmanes va ser a l’Espai pels Somnis d’Igualada. Ara és el Banc Expropiat de Gràcia. I també va ser l’Obrera de Sabadell, assetjada per desenes de neonazis. En totes elles hi hem sigut i hem format part de la seva defensa.

Recordem allò de “Cap desallotjament sense resposta”. Volem continuar sent part de la resposta. Una resposta que la farem al carrer, de manera clara i evident, però que també anem teixint poc a poc als nostres llocs de treball quan deixem de ser illes per organitzar-nos col·lectivament. Una resposta que també mostrem quan optem pel suport mutu i quan refusem sense contemplacions el feixisme. Per tot això, today, estendrem novament la solidaritat, aquest cop amb el Banc Expropiat i cridem a recolzar totes les convocatòries que es vagin fent públiques.

training session: Union action in the company

Training

May 182016

Union action in the company Companys, partners,

Faced with the need to have some bases that serve as practical guidance for the CGT's union action and intervention in companies, From the Training Secretariat together with other secretariats of our union we carry out this basic training session on Trade Union Action for the CGT del Vallès Oriental.

The content is focused on Trade Union Action, but also with basic notions about organization, necessary to develop union work.

We hope that this training will be useful to those who do trade union work to guide their actions and to refresh the criteria that identify us and that make anarcho-syndicalism what it should be.: a coherent trade union project, transformer, mobilizer and ethical, developed by and for the working class and society.
