(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - unionism, ?April 9
is not an end in itself (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
We were more than 300,000 to fight April 9 keypad to fight the law of the bosses that we
needed a government that was socialist in name and that takes up all the bad ideas that
whispers MEDEF. ---- Against the austerity measures against the wage freeze, against the
generalization of insecurity, against the undermining of labor law organized by the Macron
law, demonstrations were held all over France and especially in Paris where we were
120,000 between the Place d'Italie and Les Invalides. ---- This strike on April 9th is an
important step to affirm the need for an offensive unionism and build a balance of power
in favor of working people. ---- But this is only the beginning and is now to ensure that
the fighting spirit which was expressed today is not without more:
face the disdain by a government that intends to continue its anti-social policies and in
no way reflects the anger of workers and workers;
facing the class contempt by Gattaz, president of MEDEF, who rubs his hands and boasts
that there was no strike call in his business;
we must continue and intensify mobilization by multiplying our interventions with
colleagues to emerge from the claims and convinced of the need to fight to win.
We must grow in our union organizations, that measures be taken to ensure that the will to
fight finds expression.
We know from experience that the days of mobilization spaced in time can no longer win
against the employers and government determination. While localized strikes are on the
increase for salaries, employment or working conditions, it is urgent to converge sectors
in struggle.
Finally, we must focus the debate on the most effective means of action (prolonged strike,
blockades, occupations) to put a stop to the employers' offensive led by the PS.
For the month of May is a month of fighting!
