(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL (September) - Congress
students with Solidarity: A crippling tensions (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation]
In 2013, the ESF and South student merged to give birth to Solidarity students with, the
struggles of unions. The second congress of the young federation, which was held in June,
was marked by tensions that have paralyzed. ---- The Congress of Solidarity students with,
the struggles of trade unions took place from June 21 to 28 in Entremont-le-Vieux
(Savoie). It was preceded by the annual training. Rich moment of discussion and union
training with workshops on many topics of unionism daily, committee meetings and this year
including a discussion on the situation in the Middle East with a Palestinian friend or
with other federations, including the CGT-Crous, on the relationship between student and
workers' movement. ---- After the course, began a conference in the packed agenda, with
more than a dozen texts and motions. Unfortunately, a single text could be discussed and
put to the vote at the congress, heated debates have focused on a different issue.
The origin of tensions was in October where activists of de-France Island-union denounced
the practices deemed contrary to the principles of trade union independence, sexism and
antiâgisme then aimed more specifically militants of the Revolutionary Communist Current,
current NPA. The creation of a mediation committee to resolve the situation had then been
decided.
She unfortunately did not resolve the question of the operation of the CCR trend since
infiltrated by it, making his empty record of any timely analysis. Tensions have even been
amplified by the revelation of different mail exchanges between activists or federal
mandated es, posing problems of democratic transparency, to the point that Congress is
able to stand. union independence
Finally, it was decided to hold an extraordinary congress in the coming months. Some also
supported the idea of a mediation request to Solidarity. Tensions paralyzing the
federation remain so for the outstanding moment.
What is certain is that the real exceeded this internal conflict will emerge from
democratic debate in each union and at the level of the federation and not of any
political current. Echoing these tensions, we could find to some extent in South-PTT, so
it is remembered, especially activists who see trade unionism as a transmission belt of
their political organization that union independence and autonomy of the social movements
are not abstract principles. They also cover political and strategic interest, that of
avoiding dogmatic and rigid positions disconnected ground. Ensure that organizations or
political movements do not grant the right to interfere with the creation of trends within
the trade unions is to ensure that they can build autonomous political lines developed
from the real level of consciousness of students over the struggles.
Still, it will be present on the facs in September, that are sure to make the unions. The
reasons for mobilize abound: increasingly precarious, process grouping of universities,
international solidarity... The latest report of the General Inspectorate of Finance
advocating raising the registration fees for 1000 euros in license lies elsewhere in
perfect harmony with the logic supported by successive governments. The need to develop a
self-management control tool remains imperative. Solidaires federation es student
therefore will have no choice but to overcome the tensions that paralyze today!
