(en) Spain, The Miners March - Workers Solidarity Trade Union

Yesterday, July 11, before the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, was one of the
clearest examples to follow in the fight for labor rights: workers in the coalfields of
Asturias, Castilla y Leon and Aragon. Workers who are on indefinite strike for over a
month, and who have been deprived of wages agreed upon and signed by the previous
government in the National Strategic Reserve Coal, besides being subject to a European
subsidy scheme agreed until 2018 that ensured the permanence of the river, but all of a
sudden, without warning or anesthesia, the current government has decided that this
agreement will be fulfilled, again using the justification of the crisis and seeks to
place cuts 68% of subsidies, leaving entire families without support. On the other hand
the government puts forward the argument that the import cost of this resource is cheaper,
but it is well known that the Spanish state already imports 80% of energy resources, which
is why we are the fifth European country by the tail in domestic electricity consumption
shortages.

This event was supported by a large number of people, noting that the miners here in
Madrid had the support of the working class. And so they did know their path, shouting
slogans of support as "Madrid, laborer, is supporting the miners", "Long live the struggle
of the working class" ...

The fight to keep the miners is a further example, the confrontation that keeps the
government against the / as workers / as, that "manage" this country based on laws without
consensus, enforced by an absolute majority achieved based on fallacies, making and
undoing, and obeying the directives of Europe at face value, for your help to solve the
mess that politicians and bankers have created. An aid as a loan, subject to harsh
conditions, which is not to citizens but to help their "little friends" bankers.

From Workers Solidarity and we continue to fight and support for decent working
conditions and rights acquired through years of struggle.

They claim that workers / as we can not, in the not too distant even to speak out or
protest, as was made clear in the protests yesterday, with the help of the "picket
pattern" as they loaded and provoked against anyone who was at your "justice".
