(en) Chile, Periodico-Solidaridad: We spread: press around
the port warning strike (ca) [machine translation]
* RELATING TO STOP WARNING NATIONAL PORT TODAY TUESDAY 17 MARCH ---- This is a Paro to
express our discomfort because although many politicians agree with us that this reform
project must be many objections, they would be talking with the workers, with their
representative organizations, and the truth is that despite having requested Hearing 2
times the Working Committee of the Chamber simply were not invited. ---- That attitude
seems suspicious, especially with everything that we have become aware of the economic
pressures of corporate politics. We fear that a reform that simply did not contemplate the
true and historical interests of workers who for decades have asked that this be done, to
end the profound power imbalance between employers and workers and not to maintain and in
some cases approval deepen it. We fear it is only a change to look good with the OECD, but
the bottom of the work plan of José Piñera will maintain and deepen in favor of employers,
who pay them campaigns.
This is also a warning that we will not accept more "bypaseen" which only consider us when
they need our votes, but not when we want to express our opinion and this is actually
considered. If politicians insist on this way of making laws, behind closed doors,
kitchens, this will get worse.
The points in conflict with the project are:
-Criminalización Of the strike and the union leadership.
Minimum -Services in Huelgas is a hidden way of having "scabs".
-Excessive Prosecution of collective bargaining.
-Flexibilización Agreed almost unilaterally by the company.
Not including negotiation by branch without it leaves out more than 50% of the country's
workers a minimum possibility of collective bargaining. Without this flexibility agreed
point is simply an imposition on the unions of SMEs.
PORT UNION CHILE
* NATIONAL REFORM TO STOP ANTI PORT UNION (03/16/2015)
Having concluded the meeting of dockworkers, grouped in the Port Union of Chile, to
colleagues who might be interested, we inform the decision of a NATIONAL STRIKE PORT from
the second round of Tuesday 17 March, in protest the vote will take place tomorrow in the
Labour Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, which will decide whether to approve THE
IDEA OF REGULATION on the Draft Labor Reform.
We feel bad that the commission approve the idea of legislating without consulting actors
active trade union movement. Are public knowledge objections and criticisms of the project
which, among other things, further hindering the right to strike (with the minimum
services) introduces unprecedented grounds for impeachment and criminalizing, more complex
and bureaucratized the current collective bargaining process, among other . Excluding the
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FOR BRANCH OR AREA OF PRODUCTION, is excluded.
If the idea of legislating is approved, the foundations of the project as it provided the
government are consolidated and subtract discuss the articles without giving a real
discussion with workers on the desired reform.
The paralyzed port to demand the government change course. We call on other productive
sectors to take this path and lay the foundations for a radical and profound change in
labor relations in Chile.
Tomorrow Tuesday, 17 will the official declaration of the Port Union of Chile.
WANT REFORMS, BUT WITH EMPLOYEES

Moving towards a worthy and sovereign Chile
