"The proletarian struggle is like a seed in the thick
coming from the back of people germinating, growing, stretching, its truth
can stop the unarmored because of nobility "
(Blest Clotaire image)
On 1 May is the Day of the Working Class in which we commemorate the 1886 murder of anarchist labor leaders on strike for better work in Chicago. It is the day we honor our parents heart, our brothers, neighbors, all the exploited and all who fought and are fighting against capitalism that fills our lives with misery. Dignify an entire people that has cost the blood of their lives fighting for the rights of workers and is aware that the only solution to both employer abuse is the destruction of capitalism. We remember those pioneers who in 1887 founded the Democratic Party, home of the Anarchist Party and the Socialist Party and in 1888 by the Society of Workers in Valparaiso tried to form the first Federation of Labour, remember those who against all the wave repression that killed thousands of workers throughout the country, created in 1909 the Federation of Chilean Workers Federation of Chile, Luis Emilio Recabarren and all workers with Clotaire Blest up the Central Unica de Trabajadores central capitalist class and then those .
Today the legacy of all of them should be more present than ever, so much blood could not have run in vain. Like the times of the nitrate in that struggle for the 8 working hours and fair wages, today the situation seems not to change and is expected to get worse. Are already hearing voices strong business sector and the Industrial Development Society (SOFOFA), the Association of Industrialists of Valparaiso (ASIVA) and academics of the bourgeoisie, a good way to deal with the crisis and the drop in production would be even more flexible working conditions. And without mincing words spoken to remove the benefit of compensation for "years of service, more flexible working hours, freeze the minimum wage and provide more features for employers to fire workers. In other words, the business community to the crisis is not interested in profit but keep decreasing while reducing the "costs", ie, dismissing or further exploit their workers.
Although the crisis is over, the damage already facts and thousands of families now falling into crisis. With the alarming unemployment figures that were delivered in Santiago del 12%, nothing better can be expected for regions. In the environment is perceived an air of pessimism, fear of job loss, wanting to speak out, but slowly to be safe and as expected, those called to defend the interests of workers are part of this game to do something for nothing. Today, the CUT is a political force of the agreement and that therefore their claims are not directed to the government, but too cowardly to business, knowing that all the privileges that they have is the need to Pinochet and successive governments pact right. Moreover, the influence the PC in the unions fight to plane diverts election and the fight against exclusion (the conclusion). It is therefore not surprising that this year especially, with the worst crisis in many years, with unemployment that neither the worst predictions calculated, CUT has made no real efforts, but the march of April 16 that more than rebuke to the government and business, was a measure of the forces that lead parties. Therefore, not surprised us the attitude of the Bureau of the CUT on the stage of the Plaza S. Allende (strategically installed to quell the rebellion) to deny the Coordinator of Secondary Students read his speech combative plaintiff class and the attitude of the association.
As Patriotic Union Student must be blunt: the United Workers Central does not meet the needs of workers in Chile , denies his past and comes to terms with the blood of the heroic fallen workers, miserable crumbs with the Government and Entrepreneurship: the way is not the CUT. We bet on a class and revolutionary unionism, unionism full of consciousness, anger and heart. We
students, children of workers, who are fighting for revolutionary changes also reject traitors such attitudes in the student movement, which forces discursillos flights seek to reach negotiating table to achieve only demobilize and win nothing. We believe that the student movement, like the union must be representative, born from the ground, forming consciences and popular, of the exploited working class, revolutionary and anticapitalist. That small and large reforms necessary for the students are not an end but a necessary step in all this construction of popular power.
union workers with students only may be possible in a real and effective heat of the revolutionary struggle, facing the operators and to denounce the reformists.
LIVE WORKERS, STUDENTS LIVE, VIVA EL 1 ยบ DE MAYO!
