France, Alternative Libertair #220 - Aulnay: Open a second front (fr)

The closure of PSA Aulnay will have tragic consequences for all areas north of
Aulnay-Sous-Bois. The inhabitants and residents must go radically in the fight. ---- Many
employees of PSA-es, temporary, sub-contractors who live in the city of 3000 and in other
cities of the north of Aulnay. Site closure could have tragic consequences: difficulties
for the families of employees laid-es-es, impacts on the economy of the area by domino
effect. The end of input tax that the city received through the website implies higher
local taxes, reduced municipal budgets, the primary beneficiaries are the inhabitants of
neighborhoods, highlighting the social problems of everyday life. We quickly realize that
reclassifications are a hoax that will not solve the consequences of the closure. If
managers are to some employee-rebound socially comfortable situation eventually closing
plunge into the difficulty of northerners Aulnay who do not even work.

It is poverty that causes insecurity

The jobs generated site regularly disappear, dramatically worsening unemployment
neighborhoods north of Aulnay, many people already know moult address discrimination,
racist and sexist. This can exacerbate the problems of insecurity and poverty in the area,
and increase delinquency problems resulting fatally. It is poverty that causes insecurity,
as it should hide that fact, it will be increasingly repressive in the neighborhood,
especially against young people! Seen, this is the same scenario that has plunged so many
cities in the social and urban segregation in the 1980s after numerous plant closures,
layoffs and outsourcing.

The fight against the closure of the PSA is the case of all the inhabitants of the
northern districts of Aulnay, this fight is their fight too! A second front parallel to
that conducted on the site by the employee-es must be opened by the inhabitants and
residents, adopting convergent own claims and social terms. If the anti-PSA Aulnay took
this path would mean a radical solidarity, which can lead to a significant presence of
people on the posts with the employees in case of occupation, and also by other means of
pressure that could be implemented: rent strike in solidarity road block ... Thus, this
second front will raise the bar facing the direction of PSA, to make void the negotiations
required by line management and the government. Open this front in the neighborhoods is
the only way to establish a balance of power will change the situation.
