(en) Brazil, Note support in solidarity with Workers Strike / the Health of Santa Catarina by Anarchist Collective Black Flag (pt),


The workers' struggle is one. We add our full support and solidarity to the Warriors this 
category workers / the Health, who are on strike for over a month. The strike is a form of 
direct action and resistance that the working classes have against the bosses and the 
government. The governor Raimundo Colombo, after blackmailing and promote the crisis in 
education, now fulfills its role of executioner workers and servers. The population, 
doubly exploited by capital and one other state, he must struggle, outrage and solidarity. 
The precarious state of health and Social Organizations (OS) are responsible for the 
crisis. For organizing and strike resistance is that the working class will guarantee 
their rights and never as a charitable benevolent government.

Today, along with other groups, marched together in solidarity with the workers / the 
health, by understanding that the struggle for dignity and better working conditions in 
this industry expressing not just one facet of a much larger agenda, of urgency in 
fighting diseases and epidemics but fundamelntalmente the need of the population as a 
whole for better quality of life.

We join our forces to the movement of health workers, and other categories that is 
expanding and organizing, which shows that the workers' struggle is classist and 
combative. The policy of the old oligarchy and private interests is being implemented 
since previous governments and workers / the health, should start their share of 
empowerment to have at least decent to work. Rather than say "public opinion" and means 
bourgeois media, the strike of health (and other) causes disorders in people's lives, it 
becomes clear that the real disorder has been caused by the much longer government, every 
law of retired workers / as, with disregard for the equipping and training, poor 
infrastructure, lack of medicines, materials and human resources.

We understand that the poor working conditions of the health system, which requires 
workers / unfold for them to get a decent service to people, is fair and necessary to say 
a "Basta!" The precarious situation that we see and experience. The only real possibility 
for change lies in collective action, organized and direct. Let's build solidarity in 
struggles for health, education, transport, housing and the other! We will strengthen the 
struggle in defense of the SUS against the Privatization of Health! Health is not a 
commodity! Against the PPP (Public Private Partnership) and OS! Mands against the excesses 
of managers and incompetent! While the control and deliberation are not made by the 
people, the security of a SUS will not our right to health. The achievement of the health 
system are threatened, creating harmful nonsense in care of the needy, the poor. Health is 
not a commodity.

Oppression and exploitation of workers under capitalism leads to a limit of situations 
like this, where we have the denial of access of the population relegated to luck. By 
winning the fight, companions / as, start getting the maximum possible gains. The Black 
Flag Anarchist Collective in solidarity with the workers / the Health of Santa Catarina 
shoulder to shoulder, called for unity to fight together and to resist all attacks on 
labor rights, advancing towards new achievements.

Strength and endurance in the struggle! Autonomy, combativeness and Freedom!
None the less right, move into new achievements!
When the low move, the fall off!
