In October 2020, ZSP published „Fighting Back”, a longer article detailing various examples of how the union has fought against different types of wage theft. (The article is available here in English: https://zsp.net.pl/files/ZSP-IWA-against-unpaid-wages-2020.pdf) The article was written to precede the International Week of Action against Unpaid Wages which the IWA held from October 12-18, 2020. It was decided to repeat the week of actions again, this time from October 11-17, 2021.
When we took part in the 2019 climate strikes, we couldn’t imagine that further protests would be paralysed by pandemic. And when the pandemic came, it seemed that, with the apparent decline of some industries some, the state of the planet would improve, at least minimally. But it turns out that we are actually worse off than we thought. The last two years have confirmed that, if there is any hope, the necessary changes will have to address the real causes of the problems. And much more than just touch.
Anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists of Russia send comradely greetings to the working people of Italy!

“(...) we are neither for the government of the majority, nor for the government of the minority; neither for democracy nor for dictatorship. We are for the abolition of the police system" (Errico Malatesta, 1926)
Those of us who are part of Solidaridad Obrera - AIT in the Valparaíso Region are in a process of anarcho-syndicalist agitation, organizational development, incorporation of new militants, and the establishment of our own space.
The International Week Against Unpaid Wages was established in 2019 by the International Workers’ Association (IWA) to point out to the phenomenon of unpaid wages and the possibilities to fight back using anarchosyndicalist methods. This year it will take place from 11th to 17th October. Your participation is more than welcome. Do you have experience with unpaid wages? Would you like to propagate the topic in the streets in your neighbourhood or on social media?
Again we see how the State, together with those who hide behind a false patriotism, they encourage hate speech towards people migrants. We have seen that, faced with the complacency of the forces of order, and before the silence of the people who declare themselves lovers of the peace, families with children have been violated generating a terror of hordes that have mercilessly destroyed and attacked those who only seek a possibility of starting a decent life away from governments dictatorships and the economic crises they suffer in their places of origin.
Below you will find an annual recap of our activities during the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parliamentary elections and pandemic-related campaigns, solidarity actions, two new publications on workplace struggles and anarchosyndicalism, International Week Against Unpaid Wages in Slovakia and abroad.
