France, Alternative Libertaire AL #249 - Struggles in
Business: March anthology (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
At the time of this writing, March is far from complete. And following recension is far
from complete. However, there may be a net renewed fighting which is expressed in many
forms and in both large groups in small businesses: local (2000 Douai), professional
gatherings before the employer bodies (paper-cardboard and Book), local or national
rallies support union activists (many affected businesses and groups). ---- But it is
especially the progress of the strike action that impresses. Sometimes rapid but often
walkouts movements that last for days or weeks and that result in the occupation or
company lock. ---- Strike for employment (against layoffs, for the improvement of social
