In the last two years, the workers / interior in Poland have to suffer serious setbacks :
Your legal and working conditions were worsened repeatedly by the government. The
retirement age was raised to 67 and the 8 -hour day was abolished. ---- Last even a 78-
hour week was introduced as a bill, in which the total annual working time can be
processed in a short period of time without overtime pay, while in the remaining time
compensatory leave is planned at a lower wage. This profitable for the employer agreement
should then be discussed individually between workers and employers, without the
participation of trade unions, and it is even possible that the respective council meets
such an agreement themselves. ---- As the elected representative / inside these councils
would also seek the consent of the workforce, to address the waiver of collective rights.
Thus, not only would circumvent collective agreements, but there is a broad attack on
organized labor / interior generally. In response, now, all major trade unions to campaign
days from 11 to 14.09. called - but not to an indefinite general strike, which could exert
a real counterweight...
As a final day of action on Saturday, 14.09., A large protest in Warsaw instead of the
reformist trade unions, organized in the form of a star march. Each of these unions that
participate in the Trilateral Commission for government- mediated labor disputes, attracts
with its own march through the city to the common final rally.
The Polish ZSP based union, member of the International Workers / inside 'Association (IWA
), will also participate in this protest. However, they do not just run along with one of
the mainstream political groups, as they offer no alternative. The ZSP - IAA will not
defend the current status quo, but to build a new alternative that is.
Therefore, there will be an alternate block, which is open to all unions that are outside
of the Trilateral Commission. All small, independent unions, but also non- unionized
workers / inside, as well as social Organsiationen outside of the political parties are
welcome. The demonstration begins at 11 clock at the presidential palace, and aims to
participate in the protest march.
To support the ZSP calls to all other Mitgliedsorgansationen the IAA International Union,
to support the fight for a real general strike in Poland. This could be written protest
letters to the government of the Republic of Poland or Polish conducted demonstrations
outside embassies and consulates.
update:
Already on 12.09. has conducted a protest in front of the Polish Embassy in Bratislava,
the Slovak Priama Akcia (PA- IAA). Also in Melbourne plans to anarcho-syndicalist
Federation ( ASF IAA) an action. and
