En su segunda jornada congresual, se ha acordado rechazar las subvenciones por parte de organismos públicos en los cursos de formación. La CGT se desmarca así del modelo burocratizado de los sindicatos CC OO y UGT, en la actualidad implicados en casos de corrupción, como los EREs en Andalucía. La jueza Alaya ha admitido finalmente la personación particular de la CGT en este caso, que también se ha personado en el caso Bárcenas.

CGT exige a TVE que rectifique

Ante la inclusión en el programa La Noche en 24 Horas de TVE, sobre la presunta trama de corrupción en Andalucía por el ‘caso de los ERE’, de imágenes de recurso de USO y CGT, junto a la de los sindicatos UGT y CC OO, sí implicados en el caso, CGT exige el derecho de rectificación y está dispuesta a llevar el caso a los juzgados en caso de que no se respete dicho derecho, ya que se induce a la audiencia a la vinculación con este caso. Hacemos un llamamiento a la responsabilidad de los medios de comunicación, para que no metan a todos los sindicatos en el mismo saco y cumplan con sus prinicipios deontológicos, que justifican su función social ante la opinion pública.

THURSDAY 24 FROM OCTOBER TOS 18.00h IN THE PLAÇA PRAT DE LA RIBA DE MOLLET DEL VALLÉS AND AT 19.00h IN THE PLAÇA DE LA PORXADA DE GRANOLLERS, DAY OF STRUGGLE IN DEFENSE OF PUBLIC PENSIONS, SUFFICIENT AND UNIVERSAL.

Once again we find that the PP government is launching for pensions alleging an unsustainability that only they share, together with the experts appointed by hand for this purpose.

The result of this new robbery means going from pensions as a right to pensions as a business, introducing the so-called sustainability factor based on the life expectancy of the population and also eliminating the automatic revaluation of the pension receivable, as it will always be below the annual CPI.

With this they manage to reduce the money we charge after a lifetime of work, with the ultimate goal that bankers and speculators fill their coffers at the cost of the creation of private pension plans

While the common people are squeezed with taxes, with generalized cuts in wages and pensions, with the punishment of unemployment and the elimination of public services, we observe how a system of generalized corruption is established in the political class, economic perks and clientelistic cronyism that make the whole world blush making our passivity unsustainable.

Time to get them all out of their golden armchairs, to recover what is ours and that the financial elites are robbing us with the support of a false democracy that laughs at each and all of us.

The incoherent logic according to which to end unemployment, save public health, teaching, pensions, the cares…. they tell us that the only possible way is to work more for less, on longer hours, for more years and privatizing everything. It has been amply proven to be insane that it needs urgent shock treatment.

FOR A PUBLIC AND SUFFICIENT SYSTEM OF

PENSIONS FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE.

WE DISTRIBUTE THE WORK AND THE WEALTH!!

Posters and press release in response to the Party Popular of Mollet del Vallès .

A few weeks ago, the local section of the PP in Mollet took out leaflets with an image showing dozens of members of the Muslim community Al Huda de Mollet praying in front of the town hall, in this pamphlet the “passivity” of the city council towards the protests of the Muslim community of the capital of Baix Vallès was denounced.

From this union, we want to express our critique of all institutionalized religions (islam, Catholicism, Judaism, etc), since we consider them hierarchical and coercive by nature, and in general, aligned with all political power structures. That said, we respect everyone’s personal beliefs, as long as, they do not go against the rights of the people.

So, this union is neither favorable nor unfavorable in the conflict that this association maintains with the city council regarding the construction of the mosque. «Read the rest of the news»

As some of you know, in March of this year I was fired from the Center de la Propietat Forestal, a company attached to the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Generalitat. Together with me they were fired 4 more colleagues The five dismissal letters, in which they alleged objective and productive causes, were signed by the Workers' Representatives, formed by CCOO, that were limited, without more, to accept said dismissals.

I have always been clear that they lied and this is demonstrated by the sentence that recognizes the dismissal as IMPROPER. The company, with the arrogance that characterizes them, you were unable to show that the dismissal was justified, it's more, the ruling recognizes that the volume of work in the position I held has not decreased.

For me, said sentence has a bittersweet taste. I wanted to get my job back. Compensation for 45 days is bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. But I must admit that I am glad, and a lot, that in a company that has always been considered with absolute impunity to do and undo in labor relations, have had to give explanations before a court, and given the nature of it, surely the explanations will not end here. They were sure they would get away with it. As well, it has not been like that.

I want to thank in a very special way the cegetistas and libertarians for their support and solidarity throughout the process..

Health,

No layoffs, no pay cuts. Indefinite Strike!

Partner:

From CGT we make a call to you to participate in the INDEFINITE STRIKE called from next Sunday 13 October 2013.

You already know the plans they have for us: 1.914 dismissed workers, (75 middle managers, 756 production workers, 600 autonomous and 483 support), brutal pay cuts of between a 35% al 45% and of a 20% to self-employed colleagues, and the payroll for September unpaid. The company offers compensation of 20 days per year worked with a ceiling of 12 monthly payments, and to pay in 24 months. With these proposals on the table, the company intends to reach an agreement in the consultation period.

From the CGT, we want to show our rejection of the company's proposals, who load on the staff what is truly a disastrous management by those who organize the operation of the factory and the distribution of products.

It is totally incomprehensible that there is a distribution of fewer products than are consumed, Unless accounting engineering is being done so that the company's accounts are negative. Companies are already used to this, to manage production, purchases and sales in such a way that they get the desired numbers to justify layoffs of permanent workers and replace them with new workers. In each of the factories there are 50 daily new worker hires.

The CGT considers that these measures are not what is necessary to maintain the activity of the factories and jobs. We give an example that we see daily of business mismanagement, the autonomous carriers that carry out the delivery routes carry fewer products than are needed in the stores due to the demand they have, could be sold 10.000 more breads, Y 4.000 Donuts/Donettes y Bollycaos.

The CGT opposes these dismissals, to the salary reduction and we urge the company to search among the managers for those responsible and those guilty of everything that is not well organized in the company.

We are playing a lot, and in this conflict, we will have to get the best out of each one of us and get involved in the mobilizations.

FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF JOBS AND OUR RIGHTS:
UNDEFINED STRIKE!

CGT Libertarian Memory Commission

The day 18 September 2013 may go on to become a milestone date within the memorial movement. Finally the first arrest warrant is issued to torturers and assassins of the Franco regime. Right now, when the fascist upswing grows all over Europe, we find good news for the achievement of the real objectives, justice and reparation for the victims of the Franco regime.

CGT welcomes the performance of Judge Servini, first admitting a complaint from citizens massacred in another state and, right now, assuming the investigation of the denounced events and requesting the performance of necessary acts to clarify the crimes committed during the Franco period.

Moved by that desire to achieve reparation for the damages received by the abuses of the followers of fascio in Spain, the General Confederation of Labor and an important group of associations and individuals, They have appeared in the cause against Francoism in Argentina. As a result of the complaint filed before the Argentine judiciary, this arrest warrant for Juan Antonio González Pacheco has emerged, Jose Ignacio Giralte Gonzalez, Celso Galván Abascal and Jesús Muñecas Aguilar. All of them members of the repressive bodies of the old Franco dictatorial regime and who were cruel to their compañeros and compañeras, that following in the footsteps of those who already gave their lives during the civil war, they fought for freedom and to change society.

It is unquestionable that throughout this process,, as in fact it has already happened, pressure from the Spanish government to prevent justice from being done from Argentina. In Spain, it has already been possible to close the path of seeking justice for the victims of the Franco regime, disabling the performance of Judge Garzón as instructor of the process of reporting forced disappearances. And in recent months, a thousand obstacles have been put to the actions that the judge intended to carry out from Argentina to continue with the investigation of the complaint filed in Buenos Aires.

Even so, The requests for the imputation of another important number of Francoist personalities implicated in crimes against human rights remain pending resolution., as well as companies that benefited from the exploitation of Franco's prisoners to profit from the construction of large infrastructure works such as roads, reservoirs, irrigation canals such as the Canal del Bajo Guadalquivir (known as the Channel of the Prisoners) that members of the CGT of Andalusia have documented and presented before the Argentine judge requesting justice and reparation for those who suffered "slave labor".

With the wish that these arrests are only the beginning of the end of the impunity of the Franco regime, we toast for a day in which the objective of TRUTH is fulfilled., JUSTICE AND REPARATION with the victims of the Franco regime.

CGT Women's Secretariat

The Popular Party is willing to continue with its proposal to change the Sexual and Reproductive Health Law at the end of October. It has been announced by Minister Gallardón, it will also reform the Penal Code.

They are leaving us without the right to live freely in all areas, labor, familiar, social ... and sexual.

Gallardón has announced on several occasions that a minor cannot abort without parental permission and that he was going to toughen the assumptions for physical or psychological damage to the mother.

This government wants to turn the little that we have and that we have achieved after years of struggle into one of the most retrograde laws in Europe. They don't talk about training, nor prevention, pending and very important issues.

At the Health level they have already reformed the issue of assisted reproduction: single women or women married to other women have no option to inseminate, you must be married to a man. Now they want to reform the current Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health . Step by step we see how the PP is shaping the figure of the 21st century Spanish woman: submissive woman, good and christian. As they already did in the years 60.

The CGT defends the freedom of the people in all senses. No one can be discriminated against because they have a pen or because they want to have a son or daughter without marrying.

Abortion is the last option left to a woman who does not want to continue with the pregnancy. It's a personal decision, sometimes shared and always painful. But it is a right that women have over our body: choose our motherhood freely. No one, nor the Church that blames us, nor should the State that represses us force us to have children because we are women and because they consider that this is our function.

From CGT we call on all the people who feel affected by these cuts to show their rejection, no longer only against the reform of the abortion law, but also against their model of family and sexuality, single parent, patriarchal and retrograde, that legitimizes violence against women and people's bodies without recognizing all possible forms of sexuality.

He 28 September is the day for the decriminalization of abortion. Every day they are made 55 a thousand unsafe abortions in the world, he 95 percent in developing countries, which are responsible for one in eight maternal deaths.

For a right to decide free from prejudices and social conventions, for the right to sex education.

Against the repression of women's bodies and decisions

FREE AND FREE ABORTION. My body is mine, I DECIDE
