The most vulnerable IV: working / s
Workspaces and a great opportunity.
By Diego Fernandez
The COVID-19 has come to our societies to settle, at the least temporarily, for several weeks, perhaps months. It is a fact that the regulation of the capitalist maelstrom system, in which we sumides for decades, It not is going to be equal to or at least not be conceived in the same way from the exceptional and catastrophic situation we are living and doing de facto, we are living.
The state of alarm decreed by the government of the Spanish state has had a direct impact on mental state, physical and emotional health of all people in the society, and repeated as global levels never seen them before. TO this must be added that, as is usual be in any kind of crisis conceptual and historical, classes and disadvantaged groups, are the most harmed at all levels (Health, economy, freedom…).
In these critical moments, where our most vital and functional freedoms They have deteriorated, It is the time to denounce and take most critical voices even if possible, in all areas in which we can act positively and determining. The street, this historic space that have been developed all protests and social rebuffs toward tyranny, oppression and lack of freedom, It is an alibi and bounded towards our person Just as a State acting site, except the determination of the ideology component highly redialing.
In these years, more these days, where social networks dominate communication Social, information exchange, leisure and entertainment, represent more a threat and a social and collective anesthesia for the masses, that a positive factor to develop as social beings and to defend freedoms and human rights. The most palpable physical and direct action space that remains in this situation of group hysteria, They are the centers and places work in which we are "obligades" to keep our workforce for the good of society as we have adjudicades.
While, the general slogan that permeates society and is systematically repeated make a collective and individual responsibility effort to avoid spread of the virus, the lack of organization and basic resources, he has imposed an arbitrary and partial dynamic work in certain sectors and the blessing of big business that is unfair to the effort and responsibility which requires citizens. Cuts rights labor, freedom granted to large companies to "steer" the economy more flexible when layoffs, conditions and applied innumerable series of ERTEs, It is a sample of all.
Now they workers are exposed to the fate of incompetent administrations and private enterprise Empowered, again and a new conceptual framework, it is when solidarity and mutual support should emerge and become active in the manner more critical and functional as possible. Is the time and a great opportunity for Back to weave social and community networks that respond effective, real and trusted by society in general, and the groups most particularly disadvantaged. All this does not get what the administration and the majority unions of employers collaborators, since ever, Y even more highlighted by the current situation, It is what we must respond and exit, their workers in their spaces and neighborhood groups, and self the people themselves in the everyday.
back to highlight work spaces as an important place to develop that solidarity and unity that allows us tacitly, Given the situation exceptional, work and develop new ways of relating, support and care workers between them, vecines them and the people of the neighborhoods. Not only There workplace, factory or brief moments when people share space in this anomalous situation, but it is the current situation and mood, conscience and empathy of persons, which it is giving us the opportunity to strengthen our ties social, cooperative and collaborative true. Fear and panic created not let us stop being critical and act with real alternatives change the dominant social reality.
