Fight in the Park Hyatt ---- The fight started on September 19. The maids, nannies and 
valets two hotels in the Park Hyatt chain decree indefinite strike called by the CGT. 
Their demands are multiple. Wage increase, implementation of a thirteenth month, reduced 
rates, tenure positions When writing this article, the technique combines strikes and 
protests worked. The management of the Park Hyatt Vendome folded in many ways: higher 
wages, transfer of part-time to full-time, reduced speeds and participation of the 
business to the mutual up to 60%. It is certain that these five star hotels do not want a 
negative image for fear of losing customers. ---- Yet this victory is only partial. The 
hotel management Madeleine stands its ground. Above all, the management of the hotel in 
the Place Vendome was not bent on tenure positions.

Because beyond the deplorable working conditions - overtime unpaid, workday noon - the 
basic problem remains the outsourcing. In these luxury hotels located in the Place Vendome 
and Place de la Madeleine, there are approximately 130 contractors, mostly women. By 
outsourcing the "little hands of the inn," the directions and unloading problems drudgery. 
But it also secures the division of employees by breaking the solidarity among hotel 
employees. This is to "divide and rule".

Without denying the existence of a first victory for the maids, it is sure that the fight 
is continuing.

Abortion of an unborn law

That's it, it's official: the draft anti-abortion law in the Spanish government is finally 
buried. Its designer, the Minister of Justice, Alberto Ruiz-Gallard?n, has resigned and 
announced his withdrawal from political life.
Se?or Gallard?n, who had a mission "defense of the unborn" finally had to give in to 
opposition from women's groups, trade unions, leftist organizations and revolutionaries, 
and even ... a part of his own camp. Good riddance, but remains a point: minor can now do 
an abortion with the consent of their parents.
But why remove a bill almost certain to be adopted because of the absolute majority of the 
government to the Cortes (equivalent of our Parliament)? Perhaps the proximity of the next 
election comrades. 2015 will be the renewal of Cortes. The bill has caused an uproar among 
the Spaniards, the current majority does not want to risk losing an already tottering 
power because of his anti-social policy since 2011.
The struggle is to continue, especially for minor women for the destruction of the 
patriarchal system.

Kurdistan: hotline against violence

19 June 2014 Riyadh Ehmed Nadya, a 18 year old girl from Amude in Canton Ciz?r?, committed 
suicide after being forced into marriage by her father.
In response to his death, members of women's Public Security Forces in Rojava launched a 
hotline to help women facing violence, their goal being to prevent such events could 
happen again.

The creation of the hotline was accompanied by a statement stressing that the facts will 
not be ignored. Secondly, the statement is meant as a threat to every man committing 
violence against women: "We send a warning to men who do not d?partiraient is the use of 
violence against our fellow women Rojava who build a model of democratic, ecological and 
emancipatory life for women. Violence against women is tainting the reputation Rojava and 
damage our position in favor of democracy. We will not hesitate to introduce the necessary 
legislation to prevent violence against women by their revolution Rojava who are an 
example to the world."

At the end of the statement, six phone numbers that women can call in case of violence ... 
The revolution in Kurdistan as the women of the proletariat.
