Where are the unions?
past, the union was the platform of struggle for worker rights. Was the force that was moving the human engine, which hit the streets ready to vindicate those rights.
was the environment in which workers could be heard. They listened, they cared for their concerns were also the same union.
men and women, workers and other peers, but perhaps more capable of analysis or even more skills, knowledge and instruction. They were also men and women with more courage than the rest, or perhaps people who were not behind the slab to support a family with four pesetas a month. They were young and not so young, they knew the power of the organization. Maybe read Marx say that the strength and unity of the workers was the power not to ever be defeated. That together they could fight for a better world, one where each worker was treated like a man and a woman, their rights, obligations and needs.
Those women and men who in some cases, even give their lives for the cause they believe, are now obsolete.
unions have spent years sitting next to business, back to the workers. They have been releasing workers from their jobs for "supposedly" working for the rights of their peers. They have been living large government subsidies offered in exchange for truce and peace. In exchange for silence some voices, not to disturb business, signing agreements that gradually, subtly, were losing welfare rights. Year after year, under any circumstances, making the bed to businesses and public bodies where thousands of workers were losing purchasing power, social improvements.
know some "liberated" during the hours that are not going to work and they are supposed to be fighting for their peers in press offices, training courses, this only, gives to other post-, attention to the distress of the workers, etc ... are quietly taking their children to school, the other going to kill-riding and even many, we must rely on grandparents or neighbors, and later breakfast and read the newspaper in line with a cigarette-cachis me! - now, you can not smoke in the inside the coffee shop where he loved to spend the first nearly three quarters of an hour of his "day-union labor." After coffee, "as it is in a privileged position and can access training courses and relaxation long before co-released not because, after coffee, spend a couple of hours learning to play golf, which incidentally , is a sport "cheapie" from those you can practice any of his teammates. Of his fellow workers, they would sign on time at gigs and give the corn for eight hours regulations, even a few days. After golf, nothing beats a beer and some snacks, for now, at about two, entering the union office to see if there was something important to do, if any, will take him home, to quietly in their personal computer, give out in about 30 minutes and be active in his personal life. But if there is nothing important to do, because then you paint in the apartment?, Best to eat and see you again tomorrow ...
workers, we lost more than three years while rights and trade unions have been rubbed shoulders with big business and governments. We have seen these great powers union agreements that their predecessors would have thrown in the face of those who proposed and would call upon all workers to strike.
workers, discontent, every month we have been calling for a strong labor union that really work for men and women that we were losing our social level.
But unions looked the other way, the sun blinded them. We silenced support to power this was a global problem and that nothing could be done except shut up and sign that businesses and government could be interesting ...
been asked by hundreds of forums a general strike. A Basta Ya! Strong, daring and assertive, showing that men and women workers, remain united and that this union is what will the force, now, thanks to shoddy unions that have-not for more rights and more pay but to maintain what has been achieved through years and years of struggle and lives and lives imprisoned and mutilated by that same struggle. That
stop feeling -Top-unionists offended by this general feeling. What you should do is get to work. In their jobs if they are unable to fight for others, or their union positions if you still feel some ideal.
Or, back to the caves of the early twentieth century, noting that fascism is becoming stronger, which grows to the weak of spirit and not pursue any ideal.
Note .-
could not pass this first week of May, which was celebrated on the day of the workers, without showing my anger with the unions. There may be generalized to those released, but it is a dynamic known and silenced by all. I know that when someone has needed to claim any rights damaged by the employer for whom he worked, to their union, he has answered with a pat on the back: "these are difficult times. What happens is you usually can report, but such As things are, you will not get anything in return, will cost you legal fees ... "
Enough! how we're not angry with these unions?
... I'll leave, because I was warm and hot and I can not shut up.
