Text ESE (Trade Union Libertarian) of Ioannina, Greece, following the attempted
(fortunately aborted) dismissal of 6
distributors in our city: A DIFFERENT STORY AS OTHER
On Monday May 2, 6 dispatchers who worked at a popular fast food establishment
the city of Ioannina were threatened by the employer
business owner with dismissal.
Just one day after the strike on May 1, in which
participated. This is just the tip of the iceberg of
permanent antithesis between two different worlds: the
employers and workers.
First, the employer, with the laws in their favor and advantage
causing terror in the worker the idea that no one else can
stay right out in the street, makes a profit from the exploitation of others and work
continually seeks way to earn more.
pays half of what should be a social security imposes
shifts of ten hours, no overtime pay, does not pay for laid
the Christmas and Easter and keeps some workers without insurance.
Moreover, workers living in difficult conditions, handing
orders through the streets of the city with
dangers that entails, to receive poverty wages, no social security
conditions and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
working in precarious conditions. But have the struggle and solidarity.
After claiming the wages of Easter, the May 1
participated in the strike, not for honor in a "folk" to
dead in Chicago, but to vindicate the dignity as workers
today . When news of layoffs, tens of
caring people gathered outside the establishment,
demanding the reinstatement of the workers. The next day the employer
corrected.
125 years after the harsh conflicts of Chicago,
workers still struggle not to work 10 or 12 hours.
125 years after that May, workers are still fighting for a salary
enabling them to live with dignity.
125 years after workers still claim the right to strike.
125 years after employers, large and small, are
wildly chasing profits at the expense of working-class
.
125 years after employers are using the same violent means
to keep the terrified workers. Fear the
dismissal and unemployment, the informers, the balls, the scabs.
However, 125 years later still
workers who do not suck their thumbs.
For us, as anarcho-syndicalists, labor
this small battle that took place in Ioannina is a
example for all workers in all sectors. Because this battle was not
directed by anyone, but was organized by
own workers and those who showed solidarity with them.
Because workers were not limited to a struggle for judicial and legal type but
that began a determined fight in the street and let the abuses evident
business to society. Because the employer
not had to deal with 6 distributors in fear, but with a decided
Solidarity movement, which had nothing to do with
any institution, so that I could control it using your
"plugs."
Most workers are tired of working class struggle without
perspective. Employers are holding their biggest threat and using as a battering ram
the crisis are degrading the work, while workers
incapable of reacting. After years
workers' struggles were related to union
wearing ties and trade unions are concerned
partisan elections only, although the strength of workers is by
soils. NEED NEW STRUGGLES
Fights are not subject to partisan interests, self-organized
struggles in which workers themselves decide on their
assemblies, and decisions do not come from the offices of the union formations
and up committees, struggles inflexible
tenacious, aggressive if necessary, to make known to the patterns and
so valuable for them to state that if we get our

REFORMULATING THE LABOR NECESSARY
A unionism raised from the base, fighting and conscientious, with unions that are
the nest of demands, not small
parliaments, trade unions that are not sold
bureaucrats and party politicians. Unionism in the street and not in the newspapers and television news
, strikes to defend truth and not
Paripe, to raise demands for truth and do not beg, shock
unionism, not maneuvering.
a trade unionist fighting for improved living conditions,
but do not forget that to achieve this improvement is necessary
fight for total abolition of the exploitation of man by man
. Unionism not forget that
FOR WORKERS RETURN TO WANT TO BE THEMSELVES
MUST RETURN TO HATE TO EMPLOYERS
