As a result of the call of the "Section telecommunications and information services" of
the CNT-AIT Madrid at a Solidarity for their members and the workers / inside the IT
company Capgemini, on 17 May 2013 several unions and European sections of the
International Workers / Association conducted inside various actions. The aim was to stop
the dismissal plans with which the management of this company had faced the 370 workers /
inside. ---- This Solidarity had been planned as part of a 24-hour strike, the unions had
subsidized proclaimed as part of their program of action. This provides from 23 May in
begin an indefinite strike if the Capgemini social plan (ERE) does not withdraw. ---- The
CNT members who work at the company have participated in the one-day strike as well as to
the partial work stoppage on the day before.
But they also criticize it the "Legal Workers representation" (consisting of the unions
CCOO, UGT and CIS-R), who agreed with the management of the company in the last year of
the previous plan for collective redundancies. She had also admitted that several layoffs
on a smaller scale have been made in the years 2012 and 2013.
In Madrid, members of the "union of all professions" (SOV) have now conducted a rally
outside the company's office in Alcobendas, distributed in pamphlets and numerous walking
to work scabs / interior have been informed. Starting at 8 clock and rain CNT rally could
take place without incident, the subsidized unions had also sent their official / inside
and exempt members there. The SOV Madrid finished this action yet with a bitter taste due
to the high number of scabs / inside, the work not only contrary to our interests, but
also against their own.
Also, Barcelona has become the local "union of all professions" joined this action and
distributed leaflets in the company building on Avenida Diagonal. In this they have not
only called the working / in to this day strike, but also an indefinite strike if the
social plan will not be fully withdrawn. They arrived there on another rally, which was
carried out without subsidized trade unions and which thanked the members for their
solidarity CNT at the end.
As the Slovak section of the IWA, the anarcho-syndicalist Priama Akcia has sent a lot of
protest faxes to the headquarters of Capgemini in Paris, Bratislava and Madrid. So they
have made their opposition to the layoffs and the precariousness clear what has to answer
the Spanish branch. They also speak out against the lousy labor contracts entered into
this multinational corporation.
The Polish comrades / inside the ZSP-IAA have leaflets in support of the members and
workers / inside of this company in Spain distributed at a company based in Warsaw. At the
same time they have drawn attention to the poor condition of the workers / interior in
Poland. In this country, as well as in Slovakia, which destroyed jobs in Spain are to be
resettled because the workers there / inside are even cheaper. It is a unique strategy of
management to keep the labor cost and uncertain.
[The anarcho-syndicalist / inside the "union of all professions" Paris-Nord (SIPN) also
participated in the Solidarity and organized a rally outside the office of the
multinational company in Paris. There, they have come together for an hour to distribute
leaflets against the planned mass dismissal and clarify the policy of this group.] *
We would like to end this report by stating that the actions of the CNT-AIT are solely and
exclusively out against the dismissal plan for the management of Capgemini ends the way
the general precariousness that it has taken about a year ago. In this sense we urge the
unions CCOO, UGT and CSI-F this up, do not use our strength and international solidarity
to "beautify" this social plan or to "improve" some Anwendungskauseln to. The target of
the CNT-AIT is the termination and withdrawal of the dismissal plan - no half measures, no
secret agreement and no division of the spoils behind closed doors.
Finally, we want to give our best and warmest thanks let the Genosss / inside forward who
participated in the action: the SOV in Madrid and Barcelona, ??the IT section of the ZSP
Warsaw and the Priama Akcia in Bratislava [and SIPN in Paris] *. Without their
participation, this action could not take place.
No further layoffs at Capgemini!
For the redemption of the social plan!
