strike on September 17, but for what? (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation]
While June 11 mobilization against the reform of college was declining, the rebound will
require the mobilization of field teams. What strategy to win? Maybe not stick to the red
flag waved by the Ministry but put forward concrete and unifying claims. ---- A broad
front of trade unions called the strike against the reform of college: SNES-FSU, SNEP-FSU,
SNFOLC, SNETAA-FO, SFSDPEP-FO, CGT Educ'action, SNEIP-CGT, SNALC-FGAF, SUNDEP Solidaires ,
SUD Education, SIES-FAEN, SNCL FAEN CNGA-CFE-CGC signed a joint statement calling the
personal to mobilize. ---- This follows the first two days of mobilization in May and
June. As the strike of May 19 had mobilized half of college colleagues, media speech had
largely been confiscated by Latin or German teachers defending their end of fat and their
classes have long been used for social selection tools .

But national education does not need it to produce inequality and selection. The crucial
lack of means including positions that is what is most felt on the ground. The classes
without teachers in Seine-Saint-Denis are the most visible example, but many are students
in secondary schools who lack teachers in certain subjects in September or that their
teachers are not replaced will es in case of absences.
However, classes are full to bursting and sometimes very low hourly volumes. The
government can talk about "mobilization of the Republic for school" but set schedule EMC
does not change when one pays between 3 and 4 hours per week in CAP [1] to the history
curriculum of geography, French and the famous EMC on which we shall have occasion to return.

Catastrophic situations
This central question of means, that is what most worries even about aspects of the least
contested reform: how to apply it in good conditions means at constant or decreasing?
Certainly, the issue is addressed in the Inter-text begins, but the only remaining claim
the withdrawal of the reform. Necessary. But it will not solve everything. Today, beyond
the college, the whole national education should be mobilized because it is urgent: our
working conditions deteriorate and those of our students and some areas are affected. The
output of the priority education networks of schools and number of establishments will not
help the situation! And the massive use of insecure jobs does not help either to
perpetuate the teams or to provide acceptable working conditions for colleagues who are
concerned-sometimes suffer the imposed part time and find themselves bondsmen to thank you.
Strike on the 17th, and after?
While June 11 saw the mobilization drop significantly, we must question the strategy
adopted. A strike 17 with just two weeks to prepare and very near the back is not a
guaranteed success, especially as the FSU already poses a national event weekend as
perspective.
Fighting unions, CGT and South éduc'action education are right to call a strike, because
it is urgent to act. But September 17 can be seen as a step in the construction of a
larger power struggle and an opportunity to discuss with colleagues, freeing up time to
turn in neighboring establishments. This is probably how the SNES union teams struggle,
South or the day CGT design and preparation.
It will take the opportunity to put into debate in the institutions and in our unions SUD,
FSU and CGT, the strategy adopted.
Do we strike obligation, guided by store interests? Or is it that has the means (them
again) to apply widely to all wage earners of education according to their daily and
offering credible action plans?
