TO LESS! (it, pt) [machine translation]
RIGHT OF STREETS AND RIGHT OF GOVERNMENT: another attack on the working men and women
---- There are many ways that the bourgeoisie has created to increase their profits and
their control over workers, workers, their struggles and their organizations. Since the
mid-1970s the oppressors see attacking unions, labor and social rights through the
adjustments arising from the restructuring process in the economic sphere and neoliberal
policies in the political sphere of society. We know that the rights acquired with the
union struggles of the early twentieth century were never extended to the entire
population, but now our achievements are taken by force. Privatization, precarizações,
outsourcing and informality despite the need to regulate labor relations are facets of the
same coin: the bourgeois and the state offensive against the working class. They make
money exploring in the daily grind, managing pension funds, unions and access to basic
services such as health, education, sanitation, transport, water and electricity supply.
So what is going on in Brazil with the possible approval of PL 4330 is a big blow to the
rights of workers. So the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), and
a significant part of the Party's government allied base dos Trabalhadores (PT) put in box
Touch the vote of PL 4330, with due cooperation of Força Sindical and parties of
"opposition" as DEM and Solidarity.
This change in labor laws, by the way, unconstitutional and amending existing labor laws,
will open the door for outsourcing of labor relations in the country. Outsourcing is a way
that neoliberal capitalists found to tame and precarious workers' rights. Outsourced
workers can hardly push companies to meet statutory rights and can be fired more easily by
employers. Outsourced workers work an average of over 3 hours per week than
non-outsourced. Furthermore, 5 of each die workers in the workplace, 4 are outsourced and
receive outsourced 27% less than the formal contract.
With this damn PL 4330 (Bill) the "activities purposes" of each company may also be
outsourced. If until now only "support activities", such as cleaning, food and security
could be passed on to other companies, now the "end activities" can be hired. An example,
if before only cleaning and security of the Bank of Brazil could be outsourced, now also
banking activity, that is, bank themselves may be hired by an outsourced company, earning
less, with no working relationship that gives stability and security, even more exposed to
harassment, exploitation and less established rights.
Thus, this new PL opens the door to formalize liberalization of labor relations in the
country. In fact companies often disregard of labor laws. What will happen now is the
institutionalization and expansion of precarious work that will reach more and more
workers, including those who today are ensured. So if the PL 4330 is approved immeasurable
setback will be implemented against the working class.
The right to march in the streets ... and the right in power
One of the leaders of the manifestations of right and extreme right that took place on the
15th, is part of an organization that proposes among other things, the total relaxation of
labor laws in the country. Who knew that despite massive street protests, organized by
conservative sectors, the decisive movement of workers rights of withdrawal would come
from the PT government's allied base. Advocates say that is a measure that aims to give
legal certainty to employers and employees, within a universe of 12 million people. They
say those who squander our achievements and ability to mobilize is to extend labor rights
constituted the outsourced this universe in Brazil. What hypocrisy!
As stated in other communications, the neoliberal tax adjustments Joaquim Levy, the
repression of social struggles, militarization policy implemented touched by PT in the
favelas (UPP's and army), the fully conservative Congress, the expansion of the IIRSA plan
in Brazil and the lowest rate of families settled in the history of land reform in the
country indicate that the right program is already in power. Your job now is just finish
reorganize a new cycle of its hegemony within the state. The PT cycle and the illusions of
structural changes inside the state came to ?m. The PT party that is born of social
movements and trade union mobilizations with a proposal to make the changes through
elections is the ultimate proof of how the change in strategy within the state is
completely wrong.
Opposition to the government only exists outside government
Meanwhile the unions and entities linked to the government (CUT, CTB, UNE etc) ?zeram a
national act to defend the rights in favor of political reform and defense of Petrobras.
The CUT is the largest trade union federation in the country. Nevertheless, their
mobilization capacity is dwindling. This is because the CUT, is a completely
bureaucratized trade union federation, linked to the government and with limited
renovation of his paintings. The harnessing of the CUT the government has made this center
(which is the largest in the country) did not cause any nuisance to the ruling class.
People's power in response: Rebuild the radical alternatives
The PT cycle caused such havoc in ?leiras of working class organization. Party that
supposedly accomplish the change, the PT became agent and accomplice of the worst attacks
that the working class has suffered in recent years. The PT is proof that if we want to
build a class alternative to fight we must reorganize ourselves with independence from the
government, parties and companies.
We have to strengthen the organization of working men and women, have to exercise class
solidarity and mutual support. We can not allow the bourgeoisie and the state in fracione
and establish competition and individualism as the norm in social relations. The answer to
defend the rights of workers is performing a signi?cativa social change from below and to
the left, organizing women workers and workers in the neighborhoods, in housing spaces,
production and study. We need to strengthen the autonomous social movements in rural and
urban areas, ensuring that the fight is built combative way and with class independence
without following the directions of co-optation and class collaboration seen in the path PT.
For all that has been stated above advocate the immediate opening of tenders in public
services against the hiring spree, the immediate withdrawal of this bill, the ?m of
outsourcing, with the immediate re-creation of careers which are now outsourced and
situation precariousness and the freedom of trade union organization for all who live by
their own work.
It is creating pockets of resistance we move forward in the fight!
