Dear people, On Saturday 7th of may there will be many noise/wave demonstrations at
migrant detention centers througout the UK. On this day AGA is organising a noise/wave
demonstration at Justitieël Detentiecentrum Schiphol to show solidarity with the migrants
that are locked up there. At 16:00 pm there will be a bus leaving from De Binnenpret
(Eerste Schinkelstraat 14-16, Amsterdam), where there will be the annual antifascist
Alerta festival. ---- This demonstration is a part of an transnational action against
detentioncentres and the system of exclusion, criminalization and detention of migrants.
Justitieel Centrum Schiphol is a horrible complex where illegalized migrants are locked up
to wait for their deportation. Besides the horrible circumstances within this migrant
prison we are against the detention of people because they are born somewhere else.
We invite you to join us to show the people inside that they are not forgotten and to
protest against the role of the Dutch state within Fortress Europe and against
migrationcontrol in general.
Program:
11:00 Making banners and recording messages to play through the speakers for the people
inside.
16:00 The bus will leave to Justitieel Complex Schiphol
Around 18:30 The bus will be back at De Binnenpret.
18:30 Short walk to the refugeeshelter around the corner (Havenstraat) to show solidarity
with the migrants there who are struggling now against their precarious situation.
If you would like to join send an e-mail to aga@agamsterdam.org with a name and amount of
places you want to book. Otherwise we can't guarantee you a seat in the bus, and we don't
want to leave anyone behind!
NO BORDERS!! NO NATIONS!! NO FORTRESS EUROPE!!

Since the union section of CNT TAXI we express our clear opinion on the "great democratic
party?" The next day, May 5, 2016 will be held in our shipping taxi drivers in Barcelona
and the Area Metropolitana.El more Machiavellian show urdido against supposedly conscious
and intelligent workers. ---- In the Union of CNT did not participate in what we consider
a farce, a usurpation of the right of choice of workers over their own affairs and a vile
deception. We do not participate in union elections. ---- We hope with this text companion
curious aclararte our humble opinion. ---- Through elections you grant your right, someone
who says represent, to be able to decide on your labor matters, sign and negotiate for you
and impose their will and for 4 years are out of your control, nothing can do if you do
not fulfill their promises , usually with the wind.
With elections, unions get released and grants privileges that the snack bar is
maintained. At bottom, it is a matter, often economic interests. For all are known macro
taxi stalls with, union, agency, radio, school, etc ...
Union representatives have increasingly less in common with workers / a, their problems
are no longer the same, ceased to be workers to become representatives of these tend to
professionalize or live the story and only interested in staying in your easy chair or
bar, defend their own interests and not yours, those of the hard workers of the taxi.
Once you have taken the " representativeness " and have gotten released, grants and a
certain amount of influence, they do not interest them, even within four years, the
electoral programs are forgotten and better shut and be submissive. They just want your
vote and do not give problems, or have initiative.
This is to annihilate the true will of the workers, whose highest expression we believe is
the assembly of workers. These legal partners, or union delegates are decision makers and
keep workers / as at bay, silent, submissive and demobilized, because they are primarily
interested in wanting to maintain its privileged position and directly dependent on
subsidies and releases to to continue with the negociete.
Union elections and councils benefit businesses and the Administration, which ultimately
are the ones who finance them.
With union elections, management companies and partners get to not have to deal directly
with workers / as, the councils or the Technical Taula in the taxi, are nothing more than
puppets in the hands of entrepreneurs and IMT.
The Assembly of Taxi Drivers of Barcelona or federated assemblies each other , and should
start to become a reality, an assembly where the voice of a worker in the taxi, either
autonomous or employee is heard equally .
IF NO WORK FOR YOU, NO ONE !!!! FOR YOU DECIDE
ELECTORAL ABSTENTION NO VOTES !!!
NO ELECTIONS, NOT RELEASED,
NO SUBSIDY.

Minnie says let’s all meet in Whitehall in 2pm and have some fucking fun. ---- We all know
the fucking script. This weekend tens, or possibly hundreds of thousands of people, will
march through central London. According to the People’s Assembly, who have organised the
protest, we will be demanding jobs, homes, health and education. The march will be
followed by the usual speakers, who mostly all have health, jobs, homes and an education
themselves – but it’s nice that they care enough to tell us what we want. Most of them
will also tell us to vote Labour. Some stale old union boss will pretend there’s going to
be a general strike. The Socialist Worker Party will sell some newspapers. Then everyone
will go home and complain about a conspiracy because the BBC didn’t run this boring
political non-event as headline news throughout the weekend.
It doesn’t have to be like this though. The current Tory government is a fucking
shambles. Whatever the results of the EU Referendum they are set to tear themselves
apart. Their paper thin majority means they can barely even pass the laws they want. The
string of financial dodgy dealings, not least by dodgy Dave himself, is reminiscent of the
worst of Tory sleaze to those old enough to remember. The wheels have even come off the
welfare reform gravy train as Iain Duncan Smith’s flounce has thrown the DWP into chaos,
forcing Cameron to give his job to an obedient little chipmonk who believes in magic.
Osborne and Boris are at each other’s throat, cabinet ministers are plotting against the
Prime Minister, toffs are going off message accusing those they once called hard working
families of being under-achievers and only a miracle will see a Tory Mayor in London’s
City Hall come May. There has not been a weaker government in the UK than these clowns in
living memory.
Civil disobedience, occupations, strikes, riots – these are the things that cause
government’s to crumble, backtrack or even implode. Fuck this sham democracy if it means
that a fraction of the population – the group with real capital power – can vote to
destroy the lives of the rest of us. Waiting for the next election is not an option.
Whoever wins our lives will still be shit. If we are serious, if we really want change,
then it is vital to move beyond marches, votes and empty sloganeering. There will not be a
better time than this, the wind is with us.
On Friday night, the day before the People’s Assembly event, hundreds of people will join
to March With The Homeless through central London. This annual march takes place at
night, going where it wants, and not asking permission from the authorities. To take the
streets, without asking them if they mind awfully in advance, to cause disruption and not
agree to a policing plan, this is the kind of march worth having. It will be meeting at
Downing Street, 6pm, 15th April. Spread the word. Liverpool is also marching, details here.
On the day of the People’s Assembly march itself Class War have called on people to gather
at gather in Whitehall at 2pm, for fun. Later in the afternoon protesters will gather
outside Top Shop’s flagship store at Oxford Circus where the odious Phillip Green has
decided he would rather sack workers than pay them the living wage. Meet at 4.30 pm, Top
Shop, Oxford Circus. This is just up the road from Trafalgar Square where the People’s
Assembly march finishes. If you’re lucky, and leave early enough, you might even miss
some of the speakers. That’s the choice, Stand around listening to some Labour Party
apologist lying to you that they will make everything alright one day. Or get up the road
and join those being fucked over by one of the richest men in the UK and show all the
bastards ripping us off that we mean fucking business.

Designed by the Villepin government as a "response" to the 2005 riots and youth
unemployment, the law called for equal opportunities and the First Employment Contract
(CPE) caused one of the largest mobilizations of youth educated recent decades, which
ended with the withdrawal of the second. Back three months of struggle, challenges and
successes. ---- The other articles of the dossier: ---- Editorial: It is ten years, the
anti-CPE struggle ---- Chronology ---- A portfolio of photographer Thibautcho ---- class
struggles: Ebb and flow of student struggles ---- student unionism: What have we built?
---- Interpro: Towards the general strike ---- Interview Mathilde and Jon (activist and
militant AL): "A really popular movement" ---- books on the fight
On 27 October 2005, Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré died in a substation while trying to
escape the police, the starting point of riots in poor neighborhoods. Indecent response
from the government, it is the law called for equal opportunities (LEC), announced on 10
January 2006 by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.
16 It adds that it will include the CPE employment contract reserved for under 26 which
extends to two years the trial period during which the employee may be dismissed without
cause. This is the replica of the new contract hires (CNE), adopted in August 2005,
concerning him all the workers in firms with less than twenty wage earners. In parallel,
the government intends to fight against youth unemployment has drastically reduced the
positions in the competitions of education.
It comes from the west
The CPE is condemned by all wage earners unions, and a wide collective of student unions,
political youth organizations and associations meets three days later. For several weeks,
the students union lead a mobilization of daily work, unaware that they prepare what will
be one of the largest strikes the educated youth.
On February 7, after the first inter-action day, the University Rennes 2 vote the strike
and occupation with total blockage. After February 7, the interprovincial Inter announces
a new day only on 7 March.
Students and students will first organize one-es, with delegates that rotate in the other
universities. The strike began in smaller towns, where study more class children, who
already know the precariousness in the jobs they hold alongside their studies (for more
than one student in two). Where trade unions are present struggle - South Student, Student
Union Federation (ETUF), CNT - the UNEF is marginalized and necessary practices that will
save the movement.
Beyond the events, students and soon the secondary school students are mobilized es daily
basis in equity-ax blows that attack symbolic places of political and economic power,
creating a climate of permanent agitation.
On 14 February, 10,000 protestors occupy and the ways of Rennes Station. The fight is
self-organized: decisions are taken in the general assemblies that meet in some cities,
several thousand people. In blocked universities, occupation and actions are self-managed
by committees. The first national coordination takes place with the mandated es AG in
Rennes on February 18, according to an organization that multiplies the dates of events
and coordinate economic blockades on the same days throughout France.
Massification, radicalization
In Île-de-France, the occupation of the Sorbonne on March 8 accelerates mobilization. It
is evacuated by the police on the night of 10 to 11, then encircled by riot barriers
behind which will be held every night of clashes with security forces. Driven by the
educated youth, the wage earners' unions intensify the pace of action days, passing 28
March the milestone of 3 million protesters.
The movement has a favorable context: support of public opinion and hesitation of the
government at the end of reign. Sarkozy, interior minister, does not support 100% a reform
that could bring down his rival Villepin. Chirac announced March 31 that it promulgates
the LEC but that the CPE will not be applied, which leads to wild protests including one,
Paris, which continues until the next morning.
But the struggle mainly draws its strength from unity maintained somehow the Unef the
autonomous movement - which then began its renaissance -, two poles between which the
struggle of unions manage to hold a double line of massification and radicalization .
Power are attempts to discredit the movement by denouncing the use of violence, which
départagerait "good" and "bad" strikers.
On 23 March, Rennes marched behind a banner "We are all thugs", while in Paris the event,
taken between police and groups that strike and steal the demonstrators, ends in chaos at
the Invalides. The episode divided but mostly the effect of masking the massive
participation in the struggle of secondary school students of neighborhoods, schools of
pro ... And do not undermine the determination of the movement. April 10, Villepin was
forced to announce the withdrawal of the CPE.
Failure or victory?
Despite attempts by the UNEF to restrict the claims to the only withdrawal of the CPE, the
AG has wide platforms that challenge precarious work and require the removal of all the
LEC. Of students are mobilized es until the 1st of May, despite the gradual release of
universities. partial victory, then, but hope, with the first inter-fight winning since 1995.
Or the CPE represents one facet of the liberal treatment of youth unemployment: precarious
supposedly to encourage companies to recruit. At the end of the movement the government
quietly launched the offensive to the "professionalization" second facet, which takes in
the idea that if young graduates are unable to find stable employment, it is not the
market the work that is involved, but the university, which does not prepare the
"corporate world".
In October 2006, a university employment commission makes the report Hetzel, promoter of
submission training to the immediate interests of big business, and foundation of the law
on the freedoms and responsibilities of universities (LRU) of 2007.
