27-28 May - Warsaw, Poland - We
against an attack on all fronts and our struggle should take
a new force. The arrogance of the state and the impunity with which
attack us is growing. This is a great offensive
against workers and the unemployed, renters, students,
patients, immigrants, and those who are in vulnerable situations
on the margins of society. The reforms have
wanted to put in practice for years will finally be implemented.
The government has been testing the waters, and how far you can go
us and how much they can get away with it.
There is a whole new generation of people who never knew (and never
can have) a permanent employment contract and thus they
denied paid holidays and sick leave. There is a new
generation can never enjoy their retirement. Not
current retirees enjoy anything. With miserly pensions
and bad Accession to health services have to cope with
rising prices and rents that are far superior to what can
pay. Local authorities are waiting for tens of thousands
of elderly residents of public housing, to close at
cemetery so they can make more money on housing
unoccupied. All this is done for a small elite can do
more money at the expense of society.
The gap between rich and poor has never been greater. According
statistics published by the OECD in 2008, Poland was in the
top of the list of income inequality of all
OECD countries. The middle class is broke. These people do not
are able to repay their loans and increased fees for
land use and could soon be among the ranks of the
working poor.
Despite what society wants, the government conducts
IMF recommendations. Poland should limit the indexation of
social security benefits and pensions, "streamline" the
social services, increasing the "flexibility" to spend more on defense,
increasing the tax burden on farmers and workers
self (Which are mostly fictional self,
forced to this condition by their bosses). Education and health
are increasingly marketed and inaccessible.
is time to fight!
We will fight for:
Better working conditions
Earlier this year, unemployment was over 13%, despite the
Polish increasingly are more compelled to work abroad.
This figure does not include long-term unemployed or
underemployed - the armies of workers who have jobs to
part time, seasonal or mini-jobs. Under the pretext of giving
workers' freedom of choice "the government becomes more and more
to allow heads to use garbage contracts,
work temporal and the use of outsourcing. At the same time, they changed the law
on Labour Inspection for smoothing and removing (the longer
low) fines for employers who violate the rights of
workers and do little to ensure that people can
protect against labor abuse. The result is that many
people are forced to work unpaid overtime, or
working conditions dangerous, just to get ahead. The
women, immigrants and the poor are particularly abused
and discrimination.
We say the market determines prices, so prices
all we need is always growing (even at levels
high than in richer countries). But at the same time, we say
the price of our work can not increase, because jefes
no quieren trabajadores caros. Cuanto más sean capaces los empresarios
de llevar la voz cantante, más se erosionarán nuestros derechos como
trabajadores.
Por los derechos de los inquilinos, contra la especulación
inmobiliaria y la gentrificación
Una de las áreas donde las políticas son muy anti-sociales es la
public housing. In 2009, rents increased by 200-300% the
in Warsaw. People living in public housing that
privatized might also suffer dramatic increases in
rent. Now, many people can no longer afford the rent. As
if this were not enough, the government presented a bill
that will allow the city to raise rents even more.
While the liquidation of public housing happens to
through privatization, demolishing buildings and others, not
doing anything to provide new housing, exposing a lot
people to the real threat of eviction.
existing rights are constantly violated tenants
because administrators know they will not pass anything.
A better health service
Government efforts to make health an industry
generating benefits have affected the working poor
worsening their situation. They are the ones who can not afford the
private clinics and are forced to wait for medical services,
spend their last savings to receive proper care, or
without it. The money is diverted health budget, the
as deviating from social needs.
workers healthcare are the most affected by these cuts as well, and are
forced to work in horrible conditions. It also has a
negative effect on patient care.
against rising prices
The rent increases are not the only affecting
workers, retirees and the unemployed. There is an increase of
prices on everything: food, health, education. Taxes are
increase, as the costs of social insurance, imposing
workers. The city of Warsaw and plans to raise the price
transport 100%, affecting more workers less
rich.
The government, in order to repay the money spent (on behalf
of bureaucrats and entrepreneurs), just looking more and more ways to get
money to the working class poor and middle.
To make education free for all
The commercialization of education has become increasingly
inaccessible to many and more dependent on the wishes of the capital.
educational reforms aim to make profitable
universities, meeting the demands of companies that dictate what
people who want to study. More students are
forced to pay and the poor have to work as
slaves in precarious jobs to study, often
deceived by the leaders taking advantage of their desperate situation.
are encouraged O to borrow, so they can begin their lives
adults and debtors.
the end, some of these students give up and
leave Poland, discouraged by the lack of opportunities and
difficulties they will face.
For the safety of the environment in Poland
As everything is treated as a resource profiting with which we
face a growing encroachment on the natural environment and
new environmental threats. Among them are the government
plans to build nuclear power plants in Poland, something
that most people are against it, despite years of lobbying
nuclear working to convince people. The government has already
spent millions of dollars to "educate" the people on energy
nuclear while doing little to improve the ecological conditions
the country.
Against militarism
Again, against the will of the vast majority of society,
the government spent a fortune in the arms and campaigns
Afghanistan and Iraq. This is money that goes to the slaughter, and has been
many scandals on the participation of Polish forces in
killing of civilians. Meanwhile, the government cut many
social needs.
This is only the tip of the iceberg! Enough! It's time to act before
that wake up and find that we have no job, no
live, lack of health services and we have no money to
live. Rather than accept this fate, we to get rid of
people responsible for this mess!
And no, the change from an army of bureaucrats, businessmen and politicians
by another will not help anything! It's the system that must change!
Let's go on the offensive and fight!
Let's take control ourselves, in the interest of
workers, not for profit or power, but for
decent life for everyone!
offensive against anti-social and state capital!
