If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.
[It will only be a few short lines]
It all started back in the 15th century (Yeah, more or less with the famous “discovery” of America).
“Everything” was the globalization of looting, extortion, robo, exploitation, slavery, violations, murders, destruction of cultural identities to achieve [WE LOVE THEM] gold and goods.
The beginnings of Precapitalist Original Accumulation: America, Asia, Oceania, Africa…
To achieve that, starved, taxes and plunged the common people of the ancient Kingdom of Castile into secular misery, That's why today it is "empty".
[The same as their namesakes to the common people of France, Portugal, Belgium, England, Netherlands, Russia, China, Japan, USA…].
After World War IIthat was no longer civilized” and they showed that, out of humanism they freed them: but in the form of Western Capitalist States, favoring submissive minorities and maintaining control of mines and plantations [Economic Imperialism]. More poverty and hunger for the common people of those latitudes.
Almost no one wants to flee their land, the “small homeland”, if not driven by hunger and desperation.
That in Catalonia this is not new, noses! (From all the interior counties, legions of heirs towards Terrace, Sabadell, Low Llobregat, Kisses and Barcelona).
That in Spain that is not new, nose! (From all places to the barracks of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla…).
The imbeciles despised them: peccaries, pallets, jerks…
They despised “otherness”, the last one to arrive:
-
The “outside”.
-
The “new or the apprentice” in the factory.
deep down, the mean and cowardly germ of hatred of the different.
Behind “them and them” there was only nostalgia, hunger and poverty.
Many people showed hospitality towards them. They showed their gratitude amply..
DESPISE “THE OTHER” for himself, YOU'RE MISERABLE!
What were “Spanish”? That the "first" were Catalans??
We anarcho-syndicalists have no homeland. Yes, different social and cultural identities that enrich us and unite us in solidarity with all people. [masters and their lackeys are not people].
That foreigners steal?
It's a lie. The vast majority of “foreign” people seek work and dignity in their lives.
In any case, a minority of poor people roban or son uncivic. The vast majority of people in precarious situations suffer passively and selflessly from their misfortune..
ANOTHER THING IS THAT CRETINS ONLY FIX WHEN THEIR SKIN COLOR IS DIFFERENT (or that they find vandalism or crime on the part of their supposedly “native” countrymen as a “normal” thing.. To make him psychoanalyze)
Stripping people of their dignity, robbing them of their right to be known by their first name and stigmatizing them as “immigrants” or “criminals” based on their place of birth, only fools do it.
Those and those (overwhelmingly they were those) Yes, they have stolen and steal with hands full of sweat OUR work and OUR taxes are the MASTERS:
Yes, those guilty of everything since the 15th century and whom the mean people do not lack the language to slavishly flatter.
It is necessary to remember that the “Social Shield: education, public health, social cohesion…” that comes from our taxes was created with the objective of compensating and avoiding situations of extreme poverty, not to feed the “bites” of the Businessmen and Politicians that we all have in mind.
Perhaps the xenophobic worker is really concerned that some of the “others” may have the same rights and, through own effort, surpass them on the “social scale” exposing their shame and ineptitude.
The National Institute of Statistics offers us some very graphic population pyramids [Catalonia and the State of Spain, as a sample].
Population pyramids of Catalonia and Spain, 2022 [Source: INE]
The data is from the registered resident population. The same source shows us in both cases a rampant tendency toward aging. (retired population or to attend in the short future), very low birth rates (surely they would be even more so without counting on “the others”, up to second generations), vegetative growth (births minus deaths) negative and positive real population growth as a consequence of the immigration process (young people and with a higher fertility rate than, Fleeing from misery, they look for a job to give dignity to their family and their lives.. Does it sound familiar to us??).
The social and demographic context is alarming, Yeah.
If we eliminate distraction maneuvers, those responsible are clear.. And they mostly have the Pedigree of many more than 8 aristocratic and bourgeois surnames: LOOTING WITH FULL HANDS SINCE THE 15TH CENTURY.
A Study economic establishes that the Gross Domestic Product would be needed (GDP) during 1.000 years of all the States participating in the colonial processes to “compensate or restitute” the damage caused to the colonized territories and societies.
The pain caused by rape and torture is already irreparable, as well as the cultural annihilation of their identities.
Also to the balance of Mother Earth, “our” Planet.
In all likelihood, culturally homogeneous societies simplify coexistence. Also that THE ABSOLUTELY HOMOGENEOUS IN TERMS OF EMANCIPATED SOCIAL CLASS, EVEN MORE (a world without oligarchs or exploiting bourgeoisie, without power).
Xenophobic workers urgently need to change focus and go to the root of the problem: his submission to the Master and his mentality (even the thought has tamed them). Once one's own autonomous consciousness has been reconstructed, demand that they dedicate their millions to repay the evil done proudly by their families and “theirs”, so that “the others” can return to their lands and towns with guarantees of having a decent life. Those who want, Of course.
If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.

May 252024
During an informal talk, colleagues from the union discussed the real danger of the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the world..
One of them said that the philosopher Bertrand Russell stated that “the fascists first they fascinate the fools. “Then they muzzle the smart ones.”.
A colleague added that the representative democracy [bourgeois] also seduces fools. But what, very insightful, buy from the smart ones.
To which another colleague stated that in the direct democracy, that we exercise, We aspire to turn supposed fools into conscious intelligent people who are masters of their own designs., despite the fact that demagogues and intelligent “bought” people constantly sneak in with the aim of preventing it.. Bad apples trying to spoil the rest of us. But they won't be able to.
Lots of Health, Grassroots Federalism and Direct Democracy!
Apr 242024
The next course 2024-2025 it is mandatory to implement the FP reform that the Spanish government has promoted. There are many points without concreteness that lead to uncertainties and worries. Let's talk a little about the main points of concern, how they are:
– Reduction of regular training hours and a general drop in the quality of training.
– Extension of practice hours to maintain the duration of 2 years has been done at the expense of regular training
– Precariousness of students' work in companies, although it is assumed that the internship will be contributed to the social security.
– Manifest privatization of professional training since a good part of the training is entrusted to private companies.
Reduction of training hours
The reduction of teaching hours at the institute means a drop in the quality of the training for the student, already with enough lack of knowledge. It shortens your preparation time more and more against what will be your long future working and personal life.
The contents completely disappear, which previously indicated the minimums that had to be taught throughout the territory and were a guarantee to be able to approve studies and ensure equal training. Now only RA=Learning outcomes are assessed. There is a gap in the specific content of each profession, which means that students arrive at the company with less basic knowledge to develop their career, and it makes it even more difficult for him to develop his progress in the world of work in his sector. This causes people to stagnate and make them dependent at all times on their companies.
All modules lose hours of training specific to the professional profile at the center, for the benefit of other modules that have been considered more important and that constitute up to 60% of the hours of the cycles:
– A part of it goes to fatten the DUAL, which ends up constituting between one 25 and one 50% of the total hours of the cycle.
– Another part goes to transversal modules that are found in all training cycles of both middle and higher degrees. Bearing in mind that the teaching hours are one 25 we have weekly hours:
– technical english (2 h) 66 h. In Catalonia it was already done at middle level, now it extends to a higher degree.
– digitization (1 h) 33 h. Without discriminating whether the cycle needs it or not, how can you be the computer science case, fully digitized.
– sustainability (1h) 33h. The materials for the module have been commissioned by the private company Naturgy, which is the second or third of them 10 companies that pollute the most in Spain. https://www.huffingtonpost.es/economia/estas-son-empresas-mas-contaminantes-espana.html
– Optional modules (2 a 3h) 66-99 h. They can have external Competence Units. That is, Learning outcomes of other training cycles.
As a comment, the name of some modules such as FOL is changed (Training and job guidance), OWN (Company and Entrepreneurial Initiative) i Synthesis (Final cycle project):
– “Personal itinerary for employability I” (3 h) 99 h
– “Personal itinerary for employability II” (2 h) 66 h
– “Intermodular project of 198 hours”
Another effect will be the decrease in the teaching staff in the short term, medium and long term. In Catalonia it is ensured that it will not affect the templates, at least the first year, since it is intended to replace the equivalent in deleted academic hours, for observer positions, as a casual visitor to companies and commercial projects. This denatures the teaching work that is his own, to replace it and probably eliminate it.
There is no guarantee that teaching hours can be maintained in the future and it is clearly where the cuts to come can be made. It seems like an infallible way to solve the teacher deficit that has been occurring in FP cycles in recent years.
Extension of practice hours
As has been said before, a large proportion of lost training hours go to DUAL:
– DUAL is the new name given by the Spanish government to the before they were unpaid internships or FCT=Work center training.
– Dual general (SENSE REMUNERATE): of the 25% a 35% of the hours (from 500 a 700 h). Catalonia is a pharaoh 515 h.
– intensive dual (PAID at the minimum): of the 35% al 50% (from 700 a 1000 hours of the cycle), with DUAL contract. In Catalonia 713 h (dual general+intermodular project).
The increase in internship hours in companies poses problems in finding additional places where you can do the DUAL with guarantees.
– Also in being able to carry out the achievement of these within the established deadlines.
– In addition, it favors the increase in bureaucratic and administrative tasks and makes it difficult for teachers to control them.
On the other hand, the vast majority of companies participating in the new model, they will not be able to ensure sufficient tutoring and that the learning achieved is not partial, specific, and intended to meet the urgent needs of each company. We do not believe that students learn the same in the company as in school i, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, some hours cannot be substituted for others.
You are literally forced to start the DUAL in business in the first year with which:
– There is a lack of training for the student to start the internship.
– Fierce competition is established between Primary FP students, middle grade and higher grade. Lower level students, especially the Initial FP, they will have a very difficult time doing the practices compared to those at higher levels.
In many towns there are no companies that can absorb so many hours of practice.
– In the end, the creation of miraculous solutions is seen coming, such as setting up projects on the fly with students who cannot be placed.
– There will be many students who will not be able to finish the cycle in 2 years, duration that they have agreed to maintain.
evaluation “joint” Institute and Company
Because the Learning Outcomes that cannot be done at the institute must be done and evaluated by the company, qualified professionals will be needed in the companies to be able to do the training, the monitoring and evaluation of students, which are for them, the learners.
So the “tutors” of company must evaluate the RA's “transferred” i:
– The company will put one in each module 10% of the note.
– Students may not develop all the RAs as they depend on the specific company in which they do their internship.
There are no legal guarantees since neither the company guardians nor the companies, they don't have any kind of:
– training requirement such as teachers who must be engineers.
– control by the administration such as the teachers who have a teaching inspection.
– sanctions in case of non-compliance such as teachers who may receive sanctions or files.
The effect is that until the company has put its rating, the student has not passed the corresponding module. That is, that until the stay in the company has ended, will not be graded for the module. So:
– It is unknown what will happen with the scholarships, since they depend on the grades of the previous year.
– Business tutors usually evaluate by indications, there is no specific procedure or goal.
Privatization of the FP
A trend has begun to be detected for charter schools to offer payment for each student they take on for internships. In this way, public money will once again finance private companies to maintain an illusion of their collaboration.
The extreme case is that multinational companies are offering FP training cycles entirely privately or in concert with practices that take place in their own facilities. In this way, they already select staff at the time of training and segregate the incoming students.
consequences
The main consequences of these policies:
– There is a drop in the quality of training for the person, already with enough lack of knowledge. Their preparation time is getting shorter and shorter compared to what will be their long future working and personal life.
– Professional courses are emptied of content specific to each profession. This means that people arrive at the company with less elementary knowledge to develop their career, and improve your qualification and chances to progress in your sector.
– Participating companies, in general they cannot ensure sufficient tutoring and that the learning achieved is not partial, specific, and intended to meet only the needs of each company.
– There are no controls or penalties for companies that do not comply with the DUAL agreements. The training is in the hands of tutors from the companies who do not require a minimum of quality and previous training as if it is done with the FP teachers. Those affected are the people in training.
– There are not a few cases in which companies validate as equivalent to the qualitative training previously carried out by teaching professionals common activities of the "internships" such as sweeping or making photocopies. They are not all cases but a majority, and with all impunity.
– People in practice become free or precarious labour, since there is no remuneration in the DUAL. And people in intensive DUAL become cheap labour, but demanding as if it were professional staff. The remuneration barely reaches 300 monthly €.
– And to finish, there is a de facto privatization in VET with companies that offer training and internships to get docile workers with the minimum skills necessary for their specificity.
WE CONSTITUTE UNION SECTIONS IN EDUCATIONAL CENTERS:
In Vallès Oriental, the workers in the education sector affiliated to the CGT union promote the organization in trade union sections of the work center.
Trade union sections are the basic tool for organizing workers and are not widespread in schools unlike any other company, where they are a regular organization.
The trade union sections enable the organization and real and autonomous direct participation of the workers of each work center to act, negotiate and improve working conditions, of particular safety and hygiene of the work center. An example could be the problems with the heating and air conditioning of the center in particular, which is well known that they will not be solved at the negotiation tables external to the reality of the center.
The constitution of the trade union section is not complicated and requires the participation of at least two affiliated people. The documentation is delivered to the Department of Labor and officially communicated to the work center if desired. From this moment on, there is the support of the union and it is even possible to call local strikes at the workplace.
Once the section is established, the mere fact of its existence makes the managements of the educational centers consider their decisions that affect the workers of the center. Conversations can be initiated to ensure that we are recognized as valid interlocutors and that we are informed of the decisions that are taken and have an impact on the working conditions of the workers.
lastly, to comment that our colleagues from other centers in Vallès Oriental, such as the Carles Vallbona Institute in Granollers or the ISMD in Mollet del Vallès have also set up trade union sections to try to make this right common to all centers.

Friday 22 of March of 2024 the colleagues of the Ter Defense Group (GDT) they visited Mollet and we welcomed them to our premises to share their struggle and make visible the state of the waters, of the air and the social injustices of the pig sector in Catalonia.
The GDT is historic for having quarreled, fa 35 years, against the Puigneró textile for the pollution of the river. A historic victory for environmentalism and to defend the health of people and the environment before justice.
With the motto: "There are pigs left over, there is a lack of farmers" in the talk it was made visible that the raising and fattening of pigs has become a sector of speculation by capitalism. What, like everything where it is installed, it leaves negative externalities on the territory while business profits grow by creating a political lobby to keep the scam going. Money for four international vulture funds and as waste in the territory: slurry, disappearance of small farms, contaminated sources, methane emissions, increase in road transport, animal discomfort, exporting virtual water and creating a bubble about to burst.
To enter data, pig fattening means a consumption of 11l/day per pig, daily in Catalonia they stay there 8 millions of pigs. Slaughterhouses must be added to the accounts, on s'hi mates 40.000 pigs per day also from Aragon. It is an industrialized sector, where the feed already includes preventive antibiotics, hence we find both nitrates and antibiotic residues present in bodies of water. This implies that groundwater is no longer potable and increases the risk of bacterial resistance for people's health.
The analyzes carried out in the sources prove it to us and the politicians look the other way in the face of pressure from the business sector to continue growing despite the prevailing drought in Catalonia. The only solutions proposed by the administration are technological ones that are not very efficient in practice. We do not want to deflate a bubble that keeps Osona's economy by a thread dependent on a single sector.
There are alternatives: stop exporting pigs and maintain the sector and water for Catalonia's food sovereignty, compel companies to use their profits to restore Catalonia's bodies of water, to promote ecological and traditional livestock farming that keeps the rural population in dignified working and living conditions and to extend the debate between our spaces.
Fewer pigs and more farmers!!
PROPOSAL FOR THE ALLOCATION OF PLACES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION WITH PROXIMITY AND SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA
Mar 182024
Mobility in commuting from home to work and from work to home by private vehicle generates major traffic jams and is one of the major factors contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.
We think that the reduction of a large part of these polluting inputs is necessary, essential for the future of life on the planet. And in our sector it is possible.
With the aim of reducing pollution, the carbon footprint, the pollutant emissions during work journeys from home to work, achieve a supportive planet, sustainable and comply with the Sustainable Development Goals, we propose:
The rationalization of the distribution of the workers of the Generalitat de Catalunya in public children's education, primary, compulsory secondary and high school, taking as a structural criterion the proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.
It is quite common for a primary education teacher resident in Barcelona to commute to Canovelles every day to work, vice versa. And so for all the studies mentioned above. The teaching staff of the Generalitat amounts to more than 80.000 people. The impact of their daily mobility is not residual.
The approximation of distances between places of residence and work also improves the reconciliation of work and family life, the care spaces, saves time, life quality, well-being and health among workers.
We raise these groups of female workers mainly because they are the most abundant and widespread (including secondary education specialties) and more easily interchangeable with mobility criteria.
However, we consider that this should be a structural criterion of all Public Administrations in the allocation of places and competition for transfers.
That this same should be the line of action of the Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia in more specialized studies, as much as possible.
WE PROPOSE:
That transfer competitions be called, offering in a pedagogical way, trunk and priority the practical possibility of bringing the place of work closer to the place of residence.
The allocation of places is the result of a public competition using as a priority the criterion of proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

Inspection supports union complaint, uncovering suspicious practices.
The company claims it only shows data to individual employees, ignoring the rights of the Legal Representation of Workers.

In response to the latest statement from the UTE dated 22/02/24:
If the UTE tells us a story, the RLT also knows how to tell stories, stories and fables...
Once upon a time there was a Temporary Business Union, leave OUT, who boasted of being the most kind and generous with her workers. They offered them free coffee, extra days off and even massages in the break room. Nevertheless, behind that façade of benevolence, The UTE had a hidden plan: They wanted to take away all job benefits from their employees to maximize their profits..
On the other hand, the Legal Representation of Workers together with the working staff, who were known for being relentless in defending workers' rights. They did not tolerate abuse, no injustices and were willing to fight to the end for what they considered fair.
When the time came to adapt a new agreement, The UTE tried to impose abusive clauses that curtailed workers' rights. Nevertheless, these, led by the Union Section of the CGT, They flatly refused to accept the unfair conditions. They called an assembly and, unanimously, They decided that they would not allow them to reduce their salary or any other benefits.
Leave OUT, surprised by the resistance of her employees, decided to report them to court. But unfortunately, The judge assigned to the case turned out to be a fair and staunch defender of labor rights. He dismissed the UTE's demands and ruled in favor of the workers.
Humiliated and defeated, The UTE was forced to withdraw with its tail between its legs. He never again attempted to undermine the rights of his employees, who celebrated their victory with joy and pride. And so, History showed that justice always prevails, even on the most powerful companies.
And red colorín, This story is over.
LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE WORKING CLASS!

Feb 222024
Comrades s, after a year since the complaint of the Abertis surrogate group, on three breaches of CUN III and the Christmas Lot of 2021 and having been treated by:
– 1º BARCELONA LABOR INSPECTION.
– 2º SANCTIONS SECTION OF THE ENTERPRISE AND LABOR DEPARTMENT.
– 3º DIR. GRAL OF REL. LAB., have. AUT., SAY. I SALUT LAB. OF THE DEP. BUSINESS AND WORK.
In all of them they have ruled in favor of the workers and the Company has been sanctioned with a
INFRINGEMENT classified as SERIOUS in labor matters of the LISOS LAW.
The UTE today informed us that they will partially comply with the resolution:
– Days of own affairs year 2021, for your enjoyment during the 2022:
They will be compensated 2,5 days of own business. (Request them in time, for company organization. We advise first ordering the 2,5 days of 22). (For this one 24 you have a total of 5.5 days).
– Christmas lot year 2021.:
It will be paid in the February payroll. 57,57€. (Observe that it is reflected in the payroll as a Christmas Lot concept 2021).
– Flexible office hours:
The UTE refuses to adapt the schedule as indicated in the Art. 20 of the CUN III.
– PCF Ticket Restaurante:
The company denies the right to Art. 38 PCF without the possibility of having a Restaurant Ticket card.
From the CGT union section, the company's position leaves us with a bittersweet taste and we want to express our concern about the decision taken to accept only part of the resolutions proposed.. We are shocked by the company's criteria in choosing to assume only two aspects of these resolutions and discard the rest.. We are no longer surprised by the way in which the UTE admits its responsibilities, on this occasion by omitting compliance with the provisions of Art. 38 of the PCF, in relation to the Restaurant Ticket Card, and in Art.20 on Flexible Office Hours.
The lack of transparency of the Company in what was communicated to the Workers' Representatives last day 8, in relation to the mentioned personnel, where it was said that the Construction Convention would apply from the publication of CUN IV, and that the working conditions of Abertis would continue. It is contradictory that the lack of application of the Article is not corrected 38 and the article 20, since the company assures that the Abertis conditions for these personnel will be maintained.
The response of the UTE to this disagreement, has been that the same conditions that applied to date will continue to apply, and the rest don't. That is to say, they will continue as in an open buffet., They will select parts of the agreement they like and discard those they don't.. further, On the other hand, they tell us that they had judicialized the conflict and at the same time they deny it., claiming that it was still in process.

INFORMATIONAL STATEMENT 20-02-2024
Feb 172024
STAHL is a recognized Dutch multinational in the chemical sector related to equipment for the textile and leather industries located in Parets del Vallès.
STAHL is projected abroad as an innovative company with excellence, the research, ecology and sustainability, collaborating with the Parets del Vallès Town Council and opening the doors to the educational centers of the region to show their virtues.
[Alguns links clarifiers]
https://el9nou.cat/valles-oriental/actualitat/stahl-iberica-obre-un-nou-centre-de-recerca-a-parets/
http://lederpiel.com/stahl-centro-parets-del-valles/
What STAHL does not explain and seems to keep under the carpet is what affects its inhumane treatment of workers: belittlement, depersonalization, treatment as numbers and erosion of labor rights.
European and Spanish legality allow and protect workers to organize themselves to defend our rights and thus guarantee a more dignified life for our families, sons and daughters. But it seems that STAHL does not agree.
The dates of the union elections are approaching and the Management dismissed a worker, still convalescing from an illness, alleging TARGET DISMISSAL (justifiable only for alterations or structural readjustments of production that affect its solvency) at the same time as it is in full swing of expansion and recruitment of new workers.
The fact is that this colleague is very active in the Trade Union Section of the CGT demanding improvements in the rights of all STAHL workers and is part of our union's candidacy for the aforementioned union elections.
The colleague has been singled out and sentenced in an intimidating manner, taking advantage of his fragility and social isolation by being on leave, as a Turkish head so that people preemptively soak their beards if they intend to vote for the CGT in the next union elections. Paralyzing fear spread from mouth to mouth among the protesting workers… «who will be next?». But we already know this music! And we dance it well enough! Maybe the one who doesn't know is the company.
Incomprehensibly, the CGT is enemy number one 1 of those unscrupulous employers who do not wish to improve the rights and conditions of workers thus contributing to global happiness. On the other hand, philanthropic and humanist entrepreneurs adore our honesty and selflessness in the fight for the sustainable development of the planet without poverty and with social equity. And this is the action of the colleagues of the CGT in the company. In the hands of what kind of entrepreneurs is STAHL? Which side is he on??
In any case, STAHL is always in time to rectify. It's wise.
Either way, we will have our colleague readmitted to his workplace. It is up to the company to ensure that your suffering and that of your family is as short-lived as possible. Also the prevention of an uncertain development conflict that will surely tarnish its international image as an innovative company, ecological, sustainable and social.
Not just co-workers, otherwise the entire CGT will not stand idly by and we will start the whole network and machinery of social action, union, solidarity and mutual aid until the colleague is readmitted and the rights of the workers respected by STAHL.
IT GOES FOR YOU, COMPANY 
A QUI NO ENS DEIXA VIURE NO EL DEIXAREM DORMIR TRANQUIL !!

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:
Here, the link:
https://treball.gencat.cat/ca/ambits/inspeccio/atencio_ciutadana/denunciar/
– 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.

“There are people who don't like that workers join together to defend our collective rights and build a new just world. It's the same people who don't like to be talked about, it is written or thought”.
L’ Ovidi Montllor would have signed it.

Too often desperate people come to the union: "I've been fired, the companyri harass me, they don't pay me what is due to me, fa of the months that I don't get paid»…
It is often too late to keep a job and for anything other than bureaucratic prosecution.
Too often they are situations of individual affect [understanding that they usually affect many people in the same company, but that these assume them and manage by way of personal and not collective] that could have been avoided or prevented through collaboration and organization with the other fellow workers, sharing sorrows, common needs and taking the initiative of their destinies, which at the same time are those of their families.
All of this we call EMANCIPATION and AUTONOMY. The colleagues with more knowledge in the fight for the dignity of workers' rights share their baggage with the rest: payroll interpretation, health and safety at work, right to public holidays, compliance with current laws such as the workers' statute and collective agreements, organization in trade union sections, report to the labor inspection, right to protest and strike. And the most important thing so that they don't step on us: the feeling of being a collective and the support of all the workers standing up against the abuses of the employers.
Because we are people, not things.
VINE, ORGANIZE AND PREPARE TO DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!

DIG THE WELL BEFORE YOU ARE THIRST
Too many times desperate people come to the union: "I got fired, the businessman harasses me, They don't pay me what I owe, "I haven't been paid for two months."…
Too often late to keep the job and for anything other than bureaucratic judicialization.
Recurrently, these are situations of individual impact. [understanding that they usually affect many people in the same company, but that these are assumed and managed personally and not collectively.] that could have been avoided or prevented through collaboration and organization with the rest of the working colleagues, sharing concerns, common needs and taking the initiative for their destinies, who at the same time are those of their families.
We call this EMANCIPATION and AUTONOMY. The comrades with the most knowledge in the fight for the dignity of workers' rights share their background with the rest: payroll interpretation, security and health at work, right to holidays, Compliance with current laws such as workers' statutes and collective agreements, organization in union sections, complaints to the labor inspection, right to protest and strike. And the most important thing so that they don't step on us: the feeling of being a collective and the support of all the workers standing together in the face of the abuses of the employers.
Because we are people, not things.
VEN, ORGANIZE AND PREPARE TO DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!

We are pleased to inform you that from the joint action of the educational centers of Maresme and Vallès Oriental we have forced the Generalitat to carry out the compulsory annual medical examination in all Catalan schools and institutes, in compliance with the Statute of Workers and the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks (which up until now were passed over with impunity).
As a strategy we have used the sum of many individual complaints from workers to the Labor Inspectorate, skipping the inefficient corporate months, that they did nothing but throw balls out about it. Collective Action i Direct we call it.
As a result of our complaints, the Labor Inspectorate requires the Department of Education of the Generalitat to carry out this in all schools in the non-university public network and gives it until the day 9 of July of 2024 to make them effective.
Let's be on the lookout from all the work centers so that the annual regularity is met and maintained.
We encourage you to continue reporting to the Labor Inspectorate to further increase the pressure and public shame of the Generalitat. They take a year to respond, but it works.
We remind you that complaints to the Labor Inspectorate are free and guarantee the confidentiality of the person making the complaint.
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF TO REPORT AND DEMAND AN ANNUAL MEDICAL EXAMINATION AT YOUR SCHOOL, INSTITUTE! [also in any work center in any sector where it is not fulfilled]
We attach the link to the complaint model and the argument to be presented. For any doubts contact us:

[The complaint model]
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND BUSINESS (WORK INSPECTION)
https://web.gencat.cat/ca/tramits/tramits-temes/20558-Denuncia-per-irregularitats-laborals?category=&moda=1
I PRESENT:
That in compliment of the Article 4.2 of the Workers' Statute and the articles 14 jo 22 of the Law 31/1995, from 8 November, de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales all companies should carry out an annual medical examination for all workers in their centers.
That the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya has been for years, in some cases up to a decade, without fulfilling this responsibility with the workers who depend on them, in all the provinces of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia.
SUN LAWFUL:
– That your institution requests the corresponding documentation from the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
– That your institution put an end to this negligent action that threatens the right to occupational health of workers.
- That your institution investigates the causes of this violation and establishes responsibilities.
- That from this same course 2023-2024 and henceforth the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya complies with its obligation to guarantee the corresponding annual medical check-up for all the workers in its centers, or to its centers and/or organizations that depend on them, are hired directly, o no. However, exercise the corresponding proactive responsibility in cases where results among its workers require it.

In Picking We had always been with what we believed were “the unions.”, commissions i Ugt. They came to us, They set up the entire electoral racket for us, we didn't have to worry about anything. Yes indeed, when it was necessary to negotiate in the Committee or when the company exceeded its abuses with some of the workers and they required advice and support to combat it, The answer was “it is what it is.”, the law is like that, "no more can be done". Imagine the anger and helplessness it generated in the squad.: suffer injustices, not knowing how to face them and having your supposed defenders ignore you because “it is what it is”.
Then we heard that from the Grífols laboratories, tired of the same, they had joined a union called CGT en masse, that we were always told that they were revolutionaries "they close companies", and now they were doing much better. What they did and what they demanded was what the workers themselves decided., vaya.
So that, some of us approached the place in Mollet del Vallès.
At first it gave crab, friendly but direct people. They didn't exactly promise us the golden sky and they did promise us that they would accompany us and help us., but that it was us who had to be aware of our rights and learn to claim them. You don't have to know much about laws, that the laws are written there to be used when necessary. And be able to go further.
The first day was perhaps not to return. but we came back.
And they helped us, wow they helped us, but they also passed on to us the responsibility of deciding and being sovereignly autonomous for the first time.. And that takes effort, it even hurts. But once you free yourself from the corset of clientelistic dependency, you fly, you feel brave, you dare to openly vindicate that which should be yours by right and that are not alms or crumbs from the Patron. It's called seeing clearly..
And we broke our chains with the collaborationist unions with the companies: We stand in union elections as ourselves, with the colleagues of the CGT.
And the day 23 November we vote. The emotion was great. Exhausted by the preparation work done, for the first time by ourselves, excitement for potential support (o no) of our own companions to the emancipatory process, fear of having shown our face and if we lost there would be consequences.
but we win. Sometimes the hunger for freedom also attracts the bird that lives comfortably fed in the cage.. Unbridled euphoria. Magic. At first we didn't believe it.
Now it's time to step firmly and begin the arduous task of vindicating the rights that have come to us during all these years. bullfighting the company with the invaluable collaboration of the “union advisors” of the unions-management. BUT NOW WE WILL DO IT, UNITED, WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES.
In this fight we have all been women, our 25N against corporate patriarchy.
A big grateful hug to the colleagues of the CGT of Vallès Oriental, all workers too.
Our small and modest revolution, but our.
