Statement of the CNT-AIT (Spain) Regarding the State of Emergency

Submitted by Secretariat on

This crisis, which has come to be called the COVID-19 crisis, is yet another crisis of the system and is one of the most "virulent", putting working people between a rock and a hard place. Governments repeat the mantra that "the virus does not respect social classes or political ideologies - the virus makes us all equal." But this is not true. Teleworking in a comfortable and spacious home is not the same as spending long hours in a supermarket checkout. Having a balcony or a terrace or a garden is not the same as living in a crowded shared house. It is not the same to have a guaranteed job and salary as to be one of those workers who are going to land up on the street due to the closure of their companies or freelance workers who cannot do their jobs now.

The government has announced an injection of funds to alleviate the economic effects of the crisis, but we have serious doubts about who will benefit from this package of measures. Because our experience tells us that the brunt of the crises are always paid by us.

The CNT-AIT has a package of demands:

STATEMENT: ANTI ABOLITION OF SEXUAL WORK

Submitted by CNT-AIT Spain on

(Some of the CNT-AIT (Spain) unions have agreed this position and send their views for consideration. It is not intended to represent the position of the entire Confederation, only the unions which have made a decision to sign so far..)

The undersigned trade unions are aware of the intense debate within the Confederation around supporting the union initiatives of people who work on sex or their affiliation with CNTAIT unions in sections of their own. This is why we think that to understand this social reality it is necessary to frame it into context, understand who does and why they do sexual work, and why consider sexual work.

Crónica del 8M en Granada

Submitted by CNT-AIT Spain on

Recién comenzado el año, la Sección de Feminismos de la CNT-AIT de Granada inició su campaña por la huelga general feminista de 24 horas. Hicimos intentos de sumarnos a la coordinadora andaluza pero nos desligamos de la coordinación local de la plataforma unitaria porque sus asambleas eran mixtas y nosotras llevamos una línea no mixta desde el principio, así que decidimos seguir por nuestra cuenta y hacer las cosas a nuestra manera.

Chronicle of March 8th in Granada

Submitted by CNT-AIT Spain on

Newly started the year, the Section of Feminisms of the Granada CNT-AIT began campaigning for a feminist general 24-hour strike. Initially, we tried to join the Andalusian Coordination but soon we left the local
coordination of the unitary platform because their assemblies were gender mixed and our line is not mixed from the outset, so we decided to continue on our own and make things our way.

For two months we'd covered the city with propaganda calling the strike and explaining the many reasons that assist women to protest against the patriarchal and capitalist system. We also have a section on "From the
Roots", a project of free radio that is broadcast on many free radio stations around the whole State. The program’s name is "In my hometown square” and, coinciding with preparations for the 8M strike, we have issued our own program on feminist struggle." Also propaganda cribs have been issued in favour of the strike and the actions around it.

Manifiesto para la huelga del 8 de marzo. - CNT AIT Granada

Submitted by Secretariat on

Este 8 de marzo de 2019, en esta nueva jornada de huelga feminista, la sección de feminismos de CNT-AIT Granada saldremos a la calle y os invitamos a todas las mujeres y corporalidades no normativas a uniros.

Como anarcosindicalistas, creemos que la huelga tiene una potencia extraordinaria para visibilizar las desigualdades y para hacer temblar
el sistema de dominación al que nos vemos sometidas, ya que pone de manifiesto la relación de clases y la violencia estructural de manera evidente. El 8 de marzo no es una huelga al uso si no que es una huelga feminista que añade nuevas perspectivas de lucha y, evidencia aún más si cabe cómo las mujeres y las corporalidades no normativas ocupamos los puestos menos reconocidos y más precarios de la sociedad capitalista y patriarcal, sufriendo en nuestros cuerpos e identidades toda la violencia del sistema a todos los niveles.

Una jornada de huelga en la que todas paremos dejará clara la relación que existe entre el estado, el patriarcado y el capital y cómo la
explotación capitalista está estrechamente relacionada con la división de géneros, relegándonos a nosotras a las funciones reproductoras y de cuidados (sin las cuales el sistema no podría existir) y precarizando los trabajos tradicionalmente feminizados.

Statement issued for the 8th March Women Strike - CNT AIT Granada

Submitted by Secretariat on

On this March 8th, on the occasion of this year’s Women Strike, the Feminist Section of the CNT-AIT Granada will go out to the streets again and are inviting all women and non-cisgender normative people to join.

As anarchosyndicalists, we see the strike as an extraordinary power to make the inequalities we face visible and to shake the system of
domination to which we are subjected, since it makes the relationship between the class system and structural violence obvious. The strike on March 8th will not be a common strike but a feminist strike, which adds new perspectives to our struggle and further evidences how women and the non-cisgender normative identities are the ones who deal with the lower and most precarious status within the capitalist and patriarchal society, and that we are the ones suffering, in our bodies and identities, all the violence of the system at all levels.

A day's strike in which all women stop work will make the co-relation between state, patriarchy and capitalism clear and also how capitalist
exploitation is closely related to gender division, relegating women to breeding and care jobs (without which the system could not exist) and
making the traditionally feminized jobs still more precarious.

Resoconto informativo delle conferenze sulla Xylella fastidiosa

Submitted by CNT-AIT Spain on

Dopo l'articolo del settimo numero del giornale Fragua Socìal "Il paradigma della xylella fastidiosa" (pag 14-15), alcune sezioni del sindacato presenti nelle regioni recentemente colpite dall' "emergenza xylella" hanno preso subito l'iniziativa di contattare alcuni compagni della Puglia e di organizzare una serie di dibattiti con il principale obiettivo di far luce, di condivire informazioni ed esperienze, sull'oscuro trattamento e sulla gestione della cosiddetta emergenza xylella fastidiosa.

La buona accoglienza, l'interesse e la partecipazione avuta gratifica lo sforzo del nostro sindacato nella diffusione e nella pratica dei principi anarco-sindacalisti circa le problematiche dell'ambiente rurale.

Da Benissa ad Alcoi e Albacete si sono raccolte testimonianze ed esperienze dirette dei contadini e delle persone sensibili alla difesa integrale del territorio in cui vivono , che sono servite come primo contatto e che fanno emergere la necessità di un coordinamento popolare e indipendente , che includa sia la risposta locale che quella internazionale, attraverso le diverse possibili azioni di solidarietà e di studio della problematica.

Press release: Conferences about Xylella fastidiosa

Submitted by CNT-AIT Spain on

The article “The paradigm of Xylella fastidiosa” published on the last issue, number 7, of Fragua Social (p.14-15) resulted in the initiative, on the side of several unions placed in regions very badly hit by the so called “Xylella emergency”, of contacting the comrades in the Apulia region (in Italy). The aim was to organise a series of conferences with the main purpose to shed light on the dark aspects of the current management of this emergency, based on sharing information and experiences.

The initiative was welcomed in the area and the interest and participation of the attendees endorse the efforts of our Union in the dissemination and practice of the anarcho-syndicalist principles with regards problems in rural environment. The conference collected testimonies from Benissa, Alcoi and Albacete, particularly the realities of farmers and people who are sensitive to a comprehensive defence of the territory where they live. It has also been relevant as a first contact, and confirmed the need for a popular and independent co-ordination that embraces both popular and international response by means of several possible actions of solidarity and study.

Particularly in the Puglia Region, people were already working in an independent multidisciplinary scientific committee in order to support, backed by science, our conclusive claims: "there is a criminal strategy against people and the territory behind the fraud of the Xylella fastidiosa emergency". It has been argued that this bacteria is just an instrument, poorly justified, for the consolidation of consumer economies and capitalist mass production to the detriment of the historical culture of the territories and their possibilities for economic autonomy around agricultural production. Tourism and the capitalist devastation of mass production and consumption are against our lands cultural and environmental uses and habits.

GRAVE ACCIÓN DE CENSURA
PEDIMOS MÁXIMA DIFUSIÓN

Han bloqueado es siguiente artículo publicado ayer en la web de la CNT-AIT de Levante. Es evidente como el contenido del mismo ha roto los equilibrios del inmobilismo deseado por el sistema. ¡Se necesita reaccionar ante este tentativo de censurar la capacidad de creación de una coordinación autónoma e internacional! ¡Pedimos máxima difusión desde un apoyo solidario a la lucha contra la devastación de la Tierra!

Reseña informativa Conferencias sobre la Xylella fastidiosa

CapturaDespués del artículo del pasado número 7 del Fragua Social “El paradigma de la Xylella fastidiosa”(pág.14 y 15), algunos sindicatos localizados en regiones recientemente golpeadas por la “emergencia xylella” llevaron adelante la iniciativa de contactar con los compañeros de la Apulia y organizar una serie de charlas con el objetivo principal de abrir una luz, a base de compartir información y experiencias, en el oscuro tratamiento y gestión de la así llamada emergencia de la Xylella fastidiosa.

La buena acogida, interés y participación de los asistentes ratifica el esfuerzo de nuestro sindicato en la difusión y práctica de los principios anarcosindicalistas en las problemáticas del medio rural. Desde Benissa, Alcoi y Albacete se han recogido testimonios y realidades particulares de campesinos y personas sensibles a la defensa integral del territorio donde viven, que han servido como primer contacto que adelanta la necesidad de un coordinamiento popular e independiente, incluyendo desde la respuesta local a la internacional, a través de diversas posibles acciones de solidaridad y estudio.

Contra la cesión ilegal de trabajadores en Indra

Submitted by Secretariat on

Indra es una enorme empresa de tecnología y consultoría radicada en España. Recoge miles de millones de beneficios anuales y tiene sedes por todo el mundo. Se trata también de una empresa que cede trabajadores ilegalmente en España, utilizando intermediarios chungos para evitar el empleo directo. Nuestros compañeros de CNT han organizado a trabajadores de Indra en varios lugares.

En 2013, dos de nuestros compañeros de Madrid perdieron sus empleos como represalia por haber informado de la cesión ilegal de trabajadores. Ahora dos de los directivos de Indra han sido acusados de perjurio durante sus juicios. Al mismo tiempo, hay historias dignas de aparecer en titulares sobre cómo Indra compra a jueces y fiscales de Madrid.

Con estos últimos escándalos, hacemos un llamamiento a la solidaridad con los trabajadores de Indra, precariamente empleados e ilegalmente cedidos, así como con todos aquellos que han sido represaliados por esta empresa y después desechados por un sistema corrupto de injusticia judicial.

La AIT apoya el llamamiento de la CNT para acciones en las sedes de Indra.
