Spanish state: A bumblebee, An abortion and a dismissal

A migrant worker suffers an abortion product of a bite in full working day and is fired the next day. The case, Far from being an exception, Evidence how racism, Machismo and structural precariousness continue to mark the life of the day laborers of the Andalusian countryside.

Structural violence against migrant day laborers remains unpunished

Last Thursday, After three years of having happened, The testimony of a migrant worker who, After being chopped by a bark while working in Almería's greenhouses, suffered a spontaneous abortion and the next day was fired.

This fact, Far from being isolated, Once again evidence of the conditions of lack of protection suffered by thousands of day laborers in the Spanish State in their capacity as exploited and oppressed to be women and immigrants.

A system that despises life

According to the worker, After the bite requested medical attention. His manager replied: "This is not so much". Hours later, alone and bleeding, lost his baby. The company's response was clear: fire her.

No medical assistance, this steel, No compensation. Only abandonment. Only punishment for vulnerable.

A complaint that is not new

From sun we have repeatedly denounced this outrageous reality: unworthy working conditions, irregular contracts, Pressures to hide pregnancies, gender violence, racism and fear of denouncing.

To this are added the testimonies collected by different mass media. In them the migrant daytake, Many times without contract or papers.

Racism, machismo and exploitation at the root of the productive model

This last episode reflects how racism crosses, Machismo and extractivist logic of Spanish agribusiness. The bodies of migrant women are treated as disposable pieces: When they get sick, When they are pregnant, When they claim, There are plenty of.

We do not talk about exceptions. We talk about a productive model that feeds on this structural violence.

We say high and clear

• We demand to investigate and sanction the company involved.
• We demand Labor and health guarantees for all field workers, regardless of its nationality or administrative situation.
• We demand that the voices of the day laborers are heard and taken into account in the public debate on the field and its conditions.

Because our fight is feminist, anti -capitalist and dignified life

From sun and together and left - Spanish state, We consider that the oppression that day laborers live is the very basis of patriarchal capitalism that the bodies of women need to exploit, especially if they are migrants, poor and racialized.

We defend a production model that is not supported by the suffering of those who work the earth. We claim the dignity of working women, Your right to decide on your bodies, your health and their lives. And we fight for a racism free field, machismo and precariousness.

Because we do not want to be gears of this system that excludes and kills us. We want justice. We want equality. And that can only be achieved with the united mobilization of the working class, With women, workers and migrants, so that patriarchy and capitalism fall together and for socialism to impose itself on capitalist barbarism.
