The Port Workers of the Barcelona Mooring, They went on indefinite strike on Monday 17 from January. They demanded better salaries and working conditions. For current employees and those to come. In addition to the strike, they picketed and mobilized.
A firm and determined will
The fight received support from different port specialties and production sectors. Because, They did not allow themselves to be subdued by the pressures of the employers or the harassment of the Civil Guard regarding the actions carried out.. This forced the company Amarres de Barcelona to respond to the claims.
It was won
On Friday 21, An assembly voted by majority to ratify the pre-agreement that had been reached, which includes the three points that were in conflict: an increase in the CPI 6,7% (has not been updated since 2012), the minimum provision of 18 people per day and night shift (the company wanted 14) and the progressive equalization of new hires in four years. The strike won because it remained firm in its demands and actions, with the application of the basic assembly method to decide. From SOL we support the actions carried out in the Port of Barcelona.
There are more and more fights
Just to mention a few of them, in addition to the ports of Barcelona, are counted metal workers in Cádiz and the thousands of people who demonstrated in Bilbao and other Basque cities on Sunday 23. They did so by denouncing the serious situation of the health service in the face of the covid-19 pandemic.: a “collapse” of primary care and “overload” work of professionals in the sector. The days 29 Y 30 January there will be actions by Catalan unions for the actual repeal of labor reforms. In neighboring France, he 27 In January there will be a strike and mobilization of unions and schools.
Support the demands and unite them for the general strike
We have to support the struggles and unite them, with an agenda of demands typical of the working class. It is necessary to demand from UGT, CC. AND. and to all unions the call for a general strike, prepared from grassroots assemblies. For the repeal of the labor reform, for salaries that automatically adjust with inflation, for the prohibition of layoffs, against junk contracts, precariousness, for pensions and workers' demands. New union leaders are essential, independent, combative and democratic to overcome the brakes and maneuvers of the union bureaucrats.
Capitalists should pay for the crisis
The government of "Progressive coalition" PSOE-United We Can, The autonomous communities and the employers' associations try to make the workers pay the costs of the capitalist crisis, increasingly precarious and exploited employment. This is something that cannot be allowed. Neither does inflation continue to reduce salaries while businessmen increase their profits..
A new political alternative is needed
Definitely, The leaders of the majority centers act as a transmission belt for bourgeois interests, of the regime of ' 78 and their parties. You can't expect anything from the PSOE, UP, PP, Cs y Vox. Because, It is also necessary to build a new left-wing political alternative, anticapitalist, to fight for the immediate needs of the great majorities and for a different model of society, without exploiters or exploited, that is to say, socialist. from SOL, as part of the International Socialist League, You are invited to organize yourself to travel the path together.
