(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Austerity: after preparing the "left" -- We will not let stepping on it ! (fr)

National agreement (Ani), cuts in the public service, as opposed to the amnesty law 
unionists ... If the PS / Green government did not officially assume austerity, the 
employee-are able to recognize when an antisocial policy falls on them. Next step in the 
liquidation of social rights: the "social conference" 20-21 June, when the government will 
announce a new drain on the workplace. ---- The heart of this social conference 
announcements on pensions. In the medium-term objective for the PS, the UMP, the CFDT and 
the MEDEF, who all agree with each other, is to do away with the system "defined pension." 
What they want is to adapt the pension retirees contributions paid by active: there are
fewer pension contributions while falling. More then need further reform: the mechanics of 
the impoverishment of retirees would be launched: the capitalist dream.

If the government does not choose the "shock strategy" could, at the end of the Social 
Conference, offer "only" extend the contribution period, increase the CSG or de-index 
pensions of inflation in the continuity of reforms carried out by Sarkozy. In both cases, 
the work camp will morfler if social resistance is not at the rendezvous. Alongside this 
social conference, mischief still raining and we would do wrong to speak of pensions. 
Collectives chomeur-se-s are being mobilized against reform Un?dic and lower family 
allowances as well as the rise of some of the taxes are part of the austerity measures.

Unit against austerity

The austerity of the "left" will go into high gear in the coming months, and it is now to 
be organized resistance. The European Trade Union Confederation, moderate and somewhat 
combative organization calls for a week of action from June 7 to 14 Some unions have 
seized on this appeal: the railroad and es-es postman called the strike on 13 June, the
hospital-es, in conjunction with the user-es, 15, and an inter-rally to the call CGT, 
CFDT, CFTC and UNSA be held on 19, with calls to strike at the Post and energy.

These mobilizations have the merit to exist but we need to move up a gear and, especially, 
to unite the struggles and claims to deal with the social destruction that is coming. 
Moreover, it would have been fairer to call for action on June 20, the first day of the
conference social, as do the UD-CGT Paris or group of unemployed person-to-s supported by 
the unions, it to do so now the government that we know what to expect and we will not let us.

Let the capitalists pay

There is no hesitation, we must now discuss in our unions, our workplaces, the need to 
build a relationship of forces. We must convince the widely-employed are the 
unemployed-is-s, the retirees, youth, that austerity is a political choice, not an 
inevitability that money there. Libertarian alternative called in that the creation of 
local public against austerity and for the defense of pensions, with all political and 
social forces that are found on these issues. And beyond the current fight against 
austerity and lead to the redistribution of wealth, it is the question of the social 
project that arises: Will we continue to do this parasite system that can turn survive by 
eating into our wages, our pensions, our rights?

We will not let stepping on it!
