(en) France, Alternative Libertaire - Tract AL - After April
9, after May 1, increase the pressure! (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation]
We were more than 300,000 to show on April 9 to fight bosses that the law imposes on us a
government that is socialist in name. But it is not enough to curb the anti-social
policies of the government. What we need is an overall movement, without waiting for 2017,
because it is through our struggles that we can change things. ---- Since 2012, Holland
multiplies corporate handouts (tax credit for competitiveness late 2012, early 2013
national intersectoral agreement, responsibility pact early 2014) and trim the rights of
workers out (pension reform in 2013). ---- The Macron law goes in the same direction:
trivialization of Sunday work and night, save for ways to wage earners defense,
redundancies facilities ... In parallel, the law on social dialogue weakens the defenses
of wage earners in companies with less than 300 wage earners. And as he sees that he does
not oppose much resistance, the government is considering a law Macron 2 (meanwhile
renamed Valls law) for the summer.
To follow up to April 9
So there was every reason to protest on April 9 . But although it is not known with a day
that will bend the government, especially if there is no clear call to strike.
Now all the elements are there to try to build a global movement: a successful day of
action on April 9 that remotivé everybody, antisocial policy is continuing and
accelerating; local strikes that multiply for salaries, hiring and working conditions, and
that it is urgent to converge.
Without waiting for the unions to agree at the national level, we must take initiatives so
that the ras-le-bol and anger find expression. In our union structures, local or national,
we need to push what happens something. It is from there that will trade union unity on
clear bases immediate demands. At the same time, we must bring 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.
A strategy based on struggles
Build self-organized struggles develop against powers, against reunite these powers to
build another company: Here the strategy we advocate. For we have nothing to expect from
political parties that would promise us a new "change" for 2017 or for the following
elections: it is fighting here and now, we can impose real transformations and reclaim the
power and wealth monopolized by the capitalists.
The "change" will not come from above, it will come from our ability to take things in
hand and rid ourselves, by ourselves, exploitation and oppression.
