Between 9th and 11th December the 28th regular IWA Congress took place in Alcoi, Spain. For delegations, it was undoubtedly exhausting since the agenda was long and demanding. Nevertheless, the Congress was exceptional. This was mainly because of the number of delegations and the program prepared by the Congress Committee of the CNT-AIT in Alcoi. It was really a dignified commemoration of 100 years since the founding of IWA in December 1922.
Fed up with oppression. This is how one could briefly describe yesterday‘s protest, which commemorated the two people from the queer community who were murdered on 12th October in Bratislava, as well as the systemic context of oppression. Powerful speeches and the overall energy of the protest, full of anger, rage, grief and humour, created an atmosphere that we have never seen before in Slovakia.
Cases where people contact us about unpaid wages end in different ways. Sometimes they become an open dispute (mostly successful), sometimes the issue is resolved before open dispute, and sometimes the issue is not resolved at all or communication from the workers does not continue. The following article covers almost all the mentioned scenarios that we encountered since last year's International Week Against Unpaid Wages in various cities across Slovakia It is worth noting that most them were related to hospitality and almost all cases affected women.
Todos los empleados secundarios del sector de la caja, vigilancia y tienda se han sindicado para oponerse a las insoportables condiciones de trabajo en museo de la Secesión de Viena. Desde hace semanas WAS (Sindicato de Trabajadores de Viena) está negociando con la dirección del museo, que ahora han empezado a ignorar las demandas de los empleados. Por lo tanto, hemos convocado una concentración contra la violación de los derechos de los trabajadores frente al museo Secesión en Friedrichstraße 12, 1010 Viena, durante la inauguración de la última exposición de la Secesión.
La CNT-AIT España reafirma su progresión territorial. Nuestro proyecto crece
silencioso, alejado del espacio que nos niegan los medios de comunicación.
Crecemos porque señalamos las causas reales de nuestros problemas y somos
capaces de crear alternativas, nuevos mundos a cada nuevo paso.
En el congreso extraordinario de la Asociación Internacional de Trabajadores (AIT), que en realidad debería haber tenido lugar en Bratislava, pero que se celebró por videoconferencia debido a la pandemia, se tramitó la solicitud de la WAS para ser miembro de pleno derecho de la AIT.
