It's a gathering place for the anarchist community, a forum for activists, scholars, and
creative artists, and an opportunity for the curious to learn about an anti-state,
anti-capitalist political tradition that's still alive and thriving and challenging the
established order.
Each year, the NYC Anarchist Book Fair hosts over 60 exhibitors including publishers,
writers, designers, artists, musicians, and organizers. Past line-ups of panels,
workshops, and other presentations have included such figures as journalist Chris Hedges;
cartoonists Seth Tobocman, Peter Kuper, and Fly; photographer and Native American activist
Lenny Foster; scholar/activists David Graeber, Silvia Federici, and Martha Ackelsberg;
civil rights lawyer and radio host Heidi Boghosian; and former Black Panther and anarchist
Ashanti Alston.
Judson Memorial Church, at the south end of Washington Square Park—the neighborhood that
is one of the birthplaces of the anarchist movement in the US—has hosted the NYC Anarchist
Book Fair nearly every year, and will do so again in 2016.

Message: 2
From Southern Mexico, on the 22nd anniversary of the War Against Oblivion, the EZLN has a
message to all compañeras and compañeros worldwide. ---- This communiqué was originally
published at Enlace Zapatista ---- Good evening, good day compañeras and compañeros, today
we are here to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the beginning of the war against
oblivion. ---- For more than 500 years we have endured the war that the powerful from
different nations, languages, colors, and beliefs have made against us in order to
annihilate us. ---- They wanted to kill us, be it through killing our bodies or killing
our ideas. ---- But we resist. ---- As original peoples, as guardians of Mother Earth, we
resist. ---- Not only here and not only our color, which is the color of the earth.
In all of the corners of the earth that suffered in the past and still suffer now, there
were and there are dignified and rebellious people who resisted, who resist against the
death imposed from above.
January 1, 1994, 22 years ago, we made public the “ENOUGH!” that we had prepared in
dignified silence for a decade.
In silencing our pain we were preparing its scream.
Our word, at that time, came from fire.
In order to wake those who slept.
To raise the fallen.
To incense those who conformed and surrendered.
To rebel against history.
To force it to tell that which it had silenced.
To reveal the history of exploitations, murders, dispossessions, disrespect and forgetting
that it was hiding behind the history of above.
This history of museums, statues, textbooks — monuments to the lie.
With the death of our people, with our blood, we shook the stupor of a world resigned to
defeat.
It was not only words. The blood of our fallen compañeros in these 22 years was added to
the blood of those from the preceding years, lustrums, decades, and centuries.
We had to choose then and we chose life.
That is why, both then and now, in order to live, we die.
Our word then was as simple as our blood painting the streets and walls of the cities
where they disrespect us now as they did then.
And it continues to be:
The banner of our struggle was our 11 demands: land, work, food, health, education,
dignified housing, independence, democracy, freedom, justice, and peace.
These demands were what made us rise up in arms because these were the things that we, the
original people and the majority of people in this country and in the entire world, need.
In this way, we began our struggle against exploitation, marginalization, humiliation,
disrespect, oblivion and all of the injustices we lived that were caused by the bad system.
Because we are only of service to the rich and powerful as their slaves, so that they can
become richer and richer and we can become poorer and poorer.
After living for such a long time under this domination and plunder we said:
ENOUGH! THIS IS WHERE OUR PATIENCE ENDS!
And we saw that we had no other choice than to take up our arms to kill or to die for a
just cause.
But we were not alone.
Nor are we alone now.
In Mexico and the World dignity took to the streets and asked for a space for the word.
We understood.
From that moment on, we changed our form of struggle. We were and we are an attentive ear
and open word, because from the beginning we knew that a just struggle of the people is
for life and not for death.
But we have our arms at our sides, we have not gotten rid of them, they will be with us
until the end.
Because we see that where our ear was an open heart, the Ruler used his deceptive word,
and ambitious and lying heart against us.
We saw that the war from above continued.
Their plan and objective was and is to make war against us until they exterminate us. That
is why instead of meeting our just demands, they prepared and prepare, made and make war
with their modern weapons, form and finance paramilitaries, provide and distribute crumbs
taking advantage of some people’s ignorance and poverty.
These rulers above are stupid. They think that those who were willing to listen would also
be willing to sell out, surrender, and give up.
They were wrong then.
They are wrong now.
Because we Zapatistas know full well that we are not beggars or good-for-nothings who hope
that everything will simply resolve itself.
The text uses “todas, todos, todoas” to give a range of possible plural gendered pronouns
including male, female, transgender and others.
We are people with dignity, determination, and consciousness to fight for true freedom and
justice for all. Regardless of one’s color, race, gender, belief, calendar or geography.
That is why our struggle is not local, regional, or even national. It is universal.
Because the injustices, crimes, dispossessions, disrespect, and exploitations are universal.
But so are rebellion, rage, dignity, and the desire to be better.
That is why we understood that it was necessary to build our life ourselves, with autonomy.
In the midst of the major threats, military and paramilitary harassment, and the bad
government’s constant provocations, we began to form our own system of governing—our
autonomy—with our own education system, our own health care, our own communication, our
way of caring for and working on mother earth; our own politics as a people and our own
ideology about how we want to live as communities, with an other culture.
Where others hope that those above will solve the problems of those below, we Zapatistas
began to build our freedom as it is sown, how it is constructed, where it grows, that is
to say, from below.
But the bad government tries to destroy and bring an end to our struggle and resistance
with a war that changes in intensity as it changes its deceptive politics, with its bad
ideas, with its lies, using the media to spread them, and by handing out crumbs in the
indigenous communities where Zapatistas live in order to divide and to buy off people’s
consciences, thus implementing their counterinsurgency plan.
But the war that comes from above, compañeras, compañeros, brothers and sisters, is always
the same: it only brings destruction and death.
The ideas and flags may change with whoever is in office, but the war of above always
destroys, always kills, never sows anything other than terror and hopelessness.
In the middle of this war, we have had to walk toward what we want.
We could not sit and wait for the understanding of those who don’t even understand that
they don’t understand.
We could not sit and wait for the criminal to repudiate himself and his history and
convert himself, repentant, into a good person.
We could not sit and wait for a large and useless list of promises that will be forgotten
a few minutes after they are made.
We could not wait for the other, different, but with the same pain and rage, to look at us
and in looking at us, see.
We did not know how to do it.
There was no book, manual, or doctrine that told us what to do in order to resist, and
simultaneously, to build something new and better.
Maybe not perfect, maybe different, but always ours, our people’s, the women, men,
children and elders who, with their collective heart, cover the black flag with a red star
with five points and the letters that give them not only a name, but also a commitment and
destiny: EZLN.
And so we searched in our ancestral history, in our collective heart, and through the
stumbles, through flaws and mistakes, we have been building that which we are and that
which not only keeps us going with life and resistance, but also raises us up dignified
and rebellious.
During these 22 years of struggle of Resistance and Rebellion, we have continued to build
another form of life, governing ourselves as the collective peoples that we are, according
to the seven principles of leading by obeying, building a new system and another form of
life as original peoples.
One where the people command and the government obeys.
And we see, from our simple heart, that this is the healthiest way, because it is born and
grows from the people themselves. It is the people themselves who give their opinions,
discuss, think, analyze, make proposals, and decide what is best for them, following the
example of our ancestors.
As we will be explaining in more detail later, we see that neglect and poverty reign in
the partidista [political party followers] communities, they are run by laziness and crime
and community life is broken, now fatally torn apart.
Selling out to the bad government not only did not resolve their basic problems, but gave
them more horrors to deal with. Where before there was hunger and poverty, now there is
hunger, poverty, and desperation. The partidista communities have become crowds of beggars
who don’t work, who only wait for the next government aid program, that is, the next
electoral season.
This doesn’t of course show up in any federal, state, or municipal government report, but
it is the truth and can be seen in the partidista communities: peasant farmers who don’t
know how to work the land anymore; concrete block houses with aluminum roofs that are
empty because one can eat neither concrete nor tin; communities that only come together to
receive government crumbs.
Perhaps in our communities there aren’t cement houses, or digital televisions, or brand
new trucks, but our people know how to work the land. The food on their tables, the
clothes they wear, the medicine they take, the knowledge they learn, the life they live is
THEIRS, the product of their work and their knowledge. It isn’t a handout from anyone.
We can say this without shame: the Zapatista communities are not only better off than they
were 22 years ago; their quality of life is better than those who sold out to political
parties of all colors and stripes.
Before, in order to know if someone was Zapatista, you checked to see if they had a red
handkerchief or a balaclava.
Now it is enough to see if they work the land, if they take care of their culture, if they
study science and technology, if they respect the women that we are, if their gaze is
straight and clear, if they know that it is the collective that rules, if they see the job
of the autonomous Zapatista government in rebellion as a service and not a business; if
when you ask them something they don’t know they respond “I don’t know…yet”; if when
someone mocks them saying that the Zapatistas no longer exist or are very few they
respond, “don’t worry, there will be more of us, it may take awhile, but there will be
more”; if their gaze reaches far in calendars and geographies; if they know that tomorrow
is planted today.
We recognize of course that there is much left to do, we must organize ourselves better
and organize ourselves more.
That is why we must make an even greater effort to prepare ourselves to more effectively
and more extensively carry out the work of governing ourselves, because the worst of the
worst, the capitalist system, will come back at us again.
We have to know how to confront it. We have 32 years of experience already in our struggle
of rebellion and resistance.
And we have become what we are.
We are the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
This is what we are although they do not name us.
This is what we are although through silence and slander they forget us.
This is what we are although they don’t see us.
This is what we are through our step, on our path, in our origin and our destiny.
We look at what was before, and what is now.
A bloody night, worse than before if that is possible, extends over the world.
The Ruler is not only set on continuing to exploit, repress, disrespect, and dispossess,
but is determined to destroy the entire world if in doing so it can create profits, money,
pay.
The text uses “todas, todos, todoas” to give a range of possible plural gendered pronouns
including male, female, transgender and others.
It is clear that the worst is coming for all of us.
The rich multimillionaires of a few countries continue with their objective to loot the
natural riches of the entire world, everything that gives us life like water, land,
forests, mountains, rivers, air; and everything that is below the ground: gold, oil,
uranium, amber, sulfur, carbon, and other minerals.
They don’t consider the land as a source of life, but as a business where they can turn
everything into a commodity, and commodities they turn into money, and in doing this they
will destroy us completely.
The bad and those who carry it out have a name, history, origin, calendar, geography: the
capitalist system.
It doesn’t matter what color they paint it, what name they give it, what religion they
dress it up as, what flag they raise; it is the capitalist system.
It is the exploitation of humanity and the world we inhabit.
It is disrespect and contempt for everything that is different and that doesn’t sell out,
doesn’t give up, and doesn’t give in.
It is the system that persecutes, incarcerates, murders.
It steals.
At the head of this system there are figures that emerge, reproduce, grow, and die:
saviors, leaders, caudillos, candidates, governments, parties that offer their solutions.
They offer recipes, as one more commodity, to resolve problems.
Perhaps someone out there still believes that from above, where problems are made, will
also come solutions.
Perhaps there is still someone who believes in local, regional, national, and global saviors.
Perhaps there are those who still hope that someone who will do what we must do ourselves.
That would be nice, yes.
Everything would be so easy, comfortable, not requiring too much effort. It would mean
just raising one’s hand, marking a ballot, filling out a form, applauding, shouting a
slogan, affiliating oneself with a political party, and voting to throw one out and let
another in.
Perhaps, we Zapatistas say, perhaps, we think, we who are what we are.
It would be nice if things were like that, but they aren’t.
What we have learned as Zapatistas, and without anyone or anything except our own path as
teacher, is that no one, absolutely no one is going to come and save us, help us, resolve
our problems, relieve our pain, or bring us the justice that we need and deserve.
There is only what we do ourselves, everyone in their own calendar and geography, in their
own collective name, in their own thinking and action, their own origin and destiny.
We have also learned, as Zapatistas, that this is only possible with organization.
*The text uses “uno, una, unoa” to give a range of possible versions of “one,” including
male, female, transgender and others.
We learned that it is good if one person gets angry.
But that if more people, many people get angry, a light ignites in one corner of the world
and its glow can be seen, for a moment, across the entire surface of the earth.
But we also learned that if these angers organize themselves… Ah! Then we have not just a
momentary flash that illuminates the earth’s surface.
Then what we have is a murmur, like a rumor, a tremor that begins quietly and grows stronger.
It is as if this world was about to birth another, a better one, more just, more
democratic, more free, more human… or humana… or humanoa.
That is why today we begin our words with a word from awhile ago already, but one that
continues to be necessary, urgent, vital: we have to organize ourselves, prepare ourselves
to struggle to change this life, to create another way of living, another way to govern
ourselves as peoples.
Because if we don’t organize, we will be enslaved.
There is nothing to trust in capitalism. Absolutely nothing. We have lived with this
system for hundreds of years, and we have suffered under its four wheels: exploitation,
repression, dispossession, and disdain. Now all we have is our trust in each other, in
ourselves. And we know how to create a new society, a new system of government, the just
and dignified life that we want.
Now no one is safe from the storm of the capitalist hydra that will destroy our lives, not
indigenous people, peasant farmers, workers, teachers, housewives, intellectuals, or
workers in general, because there are many workers who struggle to survive daily life,
some with a boss and others without, but all caught in the clutches of capitalism.
In other words, there is no salvation within capitalism.
No one will lead us; we must lead ourselves, thinking together about how we will resolve
each situation.
Because if we think that there is someone to lead us, well, we have already seen how they
lead during the last several hundred years of the capitalist system; it didn’t work for
us, the poor, at all. It worked for them, yes, because just sitting there they earned
money to live on.
They told everyone “vote for me,” “I will fight for an end to exploitation,” and as soon
as they take office where they can earn money without sweat, they automatically forget
everything they said and begin to create more exploitation, to sell the little that is
left of the riches of our countries. Those sell-outs are useless hypocrites, parasite
good-for-nothings.
That is why, compañeros and compañeras, the struggle is not over, we are just barely
getting started. We’ve only been at this for 32 years, 22 of which were public.
That is why we must better unite ourselves, better organize ourselves in order to
construct our boat, our house — that is, our autonomy. That is what is going to save us
from the great storm that looms. We must strengthen our different areas of work and our
collective tasks.
We have no other possible path but to unite ourselves and organize ourselves to struggle
and defend ourselves from the great threat that is the capitalist system. Because the
criminal capitalism that threatens all of humanity does not respect anyone; it will sweep
aside all of us regardless of race, party, or religion. This has been demonstrated to us
over many years of bad government, threats, persecution, incarceration, torture,
disappearances, and murder of our peoples of the countryside and the city all over the world.
That is why we say, compañeros, compañeras, children, young people [jóvenes and jovenas]:
you new generations are the future of our people, of our struggle and our history. But you
must understand that you have a task and an obligation: to follow the example of our first
compañeros, of our elders, of our parents and grandparents and all those who began this
struggle.
They have already laid a path; now it is our job to follow and maintain it. But we can
only achieve this by organizing ourselves generation after generation, understanding this
task and organizing ourselves to carry it out, and continuing this until we reach the end
of our struggle.
You as young people are an important part of our communities; that is why you must
participate in all levels of work in our organization and in all areas of our autonomy.
Let each generation continue to lead us toward our destiny of democracy, freedom, and
justice, just as our first compañeros and compañeras are teaching us now.
Compañeros and compañeras, all of you, we are sure that we will one day achieve what we
want: everything for everyone, nothing for ourselves — that is, our freedom. Today our
struggle is advancing little by little. Our weapons of struggle are our resistance, our
rebellion, and our honest word, which no mountain nor border can block. It will reach the
ears and hearts of brothers and sisters all over the world.
Every day there are more people who understand that the cause of our struggle against the
grave situation of injustice we live is the capitalist system in our country and in the world.
We also know that over the course of our struggle there have been and will be threats,
repression, persecution, dispossession, contradictions, and mockery from the three levels
of bad government. But we should be clear that the bad government hates us because we are
on a good path; if it applauds us we have detoured from our struggle.
We must not forget that we are the heirs of more than 500 years of struggle and
resistance. The blood of our ancestors runs through our veins, it is they who have passed
down to us the example of struggle and rebellion, the role of guardian of our Mother
Earth, from whom we were born, from whom we live, and to whom we will return.
Compañeros and compañeras Zapatistas
Compañeros and compañeras, compañeroas of the Sixth:
Brothers and sisters:
These are our first words for this year that is beginning.
More words will come, more thoughts.
Little by little we will show you once again our gaze, our collective heart.
For now we will finish by telling you that to honor and respect the blood of our fallen
compañeros, it is not enough to remember, miss, cry, or pray, rather we must continue the
work that they left us, to create in practice the change that we want.
That is why, compañeros and compañeras, this important day is the time to reaffirm our
commitment to struggle, to going forward at whatever cost and whatever happens, without
letting the capitalist system destroy what we have won and the little that we have been
able to build with our work and our efforts over more than 22 years: our freedom!
Now is not the time to retreat, to get discouraged or to tire; we must be even firmer in
our struggle, to maintain the word and example that our first compañeros left us: to not
give in, not sell out, and not give up.
DEMOCRACY!
FREEDOM!
JUSTICE!

Message: 3
While Palestinians are victims doubly condemned to indifference and hypocrisy of Western
institutions, the State of Israel continues with impunity in its suicidal logic. Reaffirm
our solidarity with Palestine fragmented and condemn the crimes committed against its
people are more than ever a necessity. ---- When historians analyze with hindsight that we
live at this time in the war that Israel is waging against the Palestinian people, history
is unfortunately easy to tell. ---- The "international community" has been pushing since
the Oslo accords on Palestinian Palestinians and that they capitulate on their core
demands and to accept to live on a reserve that would have called a "Palestinian state".
But the Palestinians have refused to abdicate.
Palestinians caught in the crossfire
They are punished es for over twenty years. Shamelessly, the "international community" is
complicit in what Israel inflicts on Palestine: occupation, colonization, apartheid,
fragmentation, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Palestine has no state, but it has
two rival governments primarily concerned with their own survival. With the chaos that
lives the Middle East, the cons-revolution led Egypt allows the military dictatorship to
complete the single crossing point with Gaza not controlled by the occupant. Saudi Arabia,
which has never helped the Palestinians, spends his billions of dollars to Yemen to fight
alongside al-Qaida. And Syria, Palestinians are caught in the crossfire. When they are not
bombarded by Assad's troops, they are slaughtered by Daech.
A spontaneous revolt and desperate
There is no conductor and no direction organized in so-called "Intifada knives."
Palestinians say unanimously that they have no future. Abbas acknowledged with twenty
years behind Oslo was obsolete.
Israeli provocations are constant and unpunished: the Dawabcheh family burned alive in her
home by settlers easily identifiable, a Jewish millenarian sect parading on the esplanade
of the mosques and Netanyahu proposing to transform al-Aqsa synagogue seven teenagers
murdered during a demonstration near the "security fence" in Gaza, activists and
non-violent activists known-art international assassinated es in Hebron and Bethlehem, an
Eritrean refugee mistaken for an "Arab", lynched and completed in Beersheba... So even
giving their lives, based on Palestinians trying to "hurt" to steamroller.
Of course, we feel that in Israel itself, intellectuals are beginning to have doubts and
feel the suicidal nature of the policy. Europe has finally asked "labeling" settlement
products, which is a rare hypocrisy does one imagine a nonprescription medicines poisoned
with just a label: "attention poison"? Since Europe considers illegal settlement, it must
prohibit settlement products.
The France accomplice of apartheid
The French government is the worst in complicity with apartheid as it is already the worst
by selling arms to Saudi Arabia (Yemen fighting alongside those who ordered the attack
against Charlie). With the judgment of the Court of Cassation on 20 October condemning our
comrades in Mulhouse, the French State would criminalize BDS. We will not allow to do. We
are one of the few hopes of Palestinians and Palestinian. The solidarity movement must not
be mistaken objective: there is nothing to expect from a hypothetical diplomatic solution
or recognition of Palestine to the UN. Diplomacy can help a balance of power established
on the ground but it is the resistance of the Palestinian people and the help that we can
provide it in a position to stop the sociocide at work.

Zionism AND REVISIONISM, AN ANCIENT HISTORY
"Hitler did not at the time exterminate the Jews, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj
Amin al-Husseini went to see Hitler saying: "If you expel them, they will all come here."
"What do I do with them", he asked. He replied: "Burn them." "
We should not be surprised by this statement made by Netanyahu to the World Jewish
Congress. The surprise is rather that it did not cause any reaction on the spot.
On one side, there is a leitmotif of Israeli policy: "We are Europeans. Our enemy is the
Arab world, Muslims, wild, bronzed. We are at the forefront in the war of good against
evil. "It is therefore up to demonize this evil empire. These slogans are ancient Israel:
"Arafat is a new Hitler", "Palestinians are the new Nazis, they want to throw the Jews
into the sea". Netanyahu went much further dédouanant Hitler's Judeocide to assign to the
Palestinians. It should be said that Israel receives significant support any anti-Semitic
extreme right: Christian Zionists, the heirs of parties collaborators in Eastern Europe,
and now Marine Le Pen.
The father of Netanyahu Bentsion, was the private secretary to Ze'ev Jabotinsky (died
1940). The latter founded the wing of Zionism which is itself entitled 'revisionist'.
Jabotinsky was a great admirer of Mussolini. At the same time (1933), his opponent, Ben
Gurion signed with the Nazis Haavara the agreements that allowed German Jews to leave with
their property in Palestine.
The future Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir Israeli disciple of Jabotinsky was not only a
terrorist but a collaborator: he murdered British officers until 1944 while the
destruction of the European Jews was at its height.
Netanyahu then finds the "accents" of his political power. As for the Mufti of Jerusalem,
he was a true collaborator of the Nazis, he was well insulated in an Arab world much less
contaminated than Europe (read about The Arabs and the Holocaust Gilbert Achcar). Whenever
we criticism of Israeli policies or Zionism is anti-Semitic is instantly processed.
Revisionism Netanyahu will undoubtedly help to bring up the obscenity of this
instrumentalization.

was briefly blockaded and a smoke bomb let off outside Downing Street today as over 100
people took to the streets in protest ay the Housing Bill being debated in Parliament.
---- The new laws, which will mean mass social housing sell offs, vicious rent hikes for
families on even modest incomes and the scrapping of lifetime tenancies have been called
the end of genuinely affordable housing in the UK. Tenants, housing workers and
campaigners have vowed to fight the bill which will lead to growing numbers of people
living their entire lives without ever knowing what it is like to have a secure home. ----
Today’s protests began early this morning when the vile Policy Exchange and Localis were
evicted by housing activists who blockaded their offices preventing staff from entering.
These two so-called think tanks – both stuffed with chinless fucking Tarquins – were
responsible for proposing several of the measures in the housing bill.
Later in the day over 200 people gathered outside Parliament in a protest that was
well-attended for the first week in January. After an hour or so of speeches many of those
present occupied the road and then began a spontaneous march through the streets of
central London accompanied by a sound system. As police scurried to keep up traffic was
brought to a standstill by the boisterous crowd who defied attempts to herd them off the
streets and onto the pavement.
A place to live and sleep is the most basic human need and now the bastards even want
that. The time for politeness and asking for permission to protest is long over.
Disobedience, disruption and disorder are all that governments understand – and for all
their bluster they are fucking terrified of it. So that is what it will take to smash this
new bill and every other attack on our homes. Anything else is just consent to carry on as
usual. Don’t consent. Fuck shit up.

Ali was hired September 23, 2013 as a mason. In addition to the employer, the company had
another employee. The employer is not setting him all overtime worked, Ali began to claim
and noted in his diary schedules made - that each employee who work overtime should be
systematic. The employee claims were finally translated, June 16, 2014 by a dismissal for
economic reasons. ---- A redundancy must meet a number of criteria. First the employer
must show, if the employee contests the dismissal before the tribunal, there is an
economic circumstances forcing him to remove one or more positions. Most often employers
rely, as in the case of Ali, economic difficulties. But, for example, they can also claim
a threat to competitiveness or reorganization of the company...
Then he must show that he has effectively and sustainably - but not necessarily final -
abolished the position of the employee. In the case of Ali, six months after he was fired,
there was no new hiring officially in business. Ali knew that the employer had to work
another mason black, but has not been able to prove this.
Finally, the employer has a graduation requirement. But in the case of a very small,
almost always consider the tribunal that the employer is unable to reclassify the
employee. This left the reality of economic difficulties. The testimony of an employee of
the adviser who attended Ali during the preliminary interview showed that the employer is
simply asserted that "in orders are late (and that) was not enough work for the next
months". Which generally corresponded to the reason given in the letter of dismissal. But
the jurisprudence imposes on the one hand that the economic difficulties must be
demonstrated by the employer, and secondly they must be sustainable, there is no solution
other than dismissal and that -ci is necessary for the survival of the company.
In the case of Ali, the employer could have imposed him to take his leave, or put it into
partial unemployment... In his judgment, the Labour Court Council "notes that (the
evidence provided by the employer) would allow to appreciate the reality and seriousness
of the alleged economic difficulties "and that therefore" the cause of the dismissal is
neither real nor serious ". In addition to getting reminders wages and benefits trips, Ali
received 3000 euros for unfair dismissal, an amount that corresponds to the weak but
"tariff", based on length of less than one year and the company's small size.
