We reproduce here the text information posted on the website of the squatter Dugrú (city
of Larisa) on an intervention made a few days ago the members of the squatter in the
offices of the Electricity Company, protesting the continued power outages to people who
are not able to pay the electricity bill . A few days before the protest, in a house of
Lárisa without electricity, a lit candle was the cause of a fire with a badly injured
child. We will soon publish the text distributed during the action. ---- On December 14
morning some friends and companions of squatter Dugrú made an intervention in the
Electricity Company of Larissa. A text was distributed to the people who were waiting in
the endless queues to make some arrangement (of their debt) or to pay, and was debated for
a long time with many people and with employees.
The people agreed with the content of the text, which explained the reasons for the
action. Many people wondered how and if we can do something. The answer is (that you do
something) when you overcome the fear, you speak and you organize in neighborhood
assemblies to proceed to denials of payment and to collective resistances.
Some of the employees said that they could not do anything, some explained that they could
not violate the orders because they would lose their work, and that even if they refused
to obey (to order) and did not proceed with power cuts, they would be sent from Athens
Others to do it. Others said that what they were doing was a contradiction, and that every
time a power outage was made they would cry because they could not do anything. The answer
is that it is worth it and you can organize yourself together with other colleagues of
yours, because when we are all hungry there is no reason to fight between us. Let us eat
those who lead us to this behavior of cannibalism. At that moment it came the turn of the
lords of the floors above the building of the Company of Electricity.
It soon became clear that the talk with the directors and presidents of the Electricity
Company could not carry out with terms of dialogue. The typical attitude of those who sit
in their chairs in their beautiful, warm and luxurious offices, such as "I simply execute
orders", "I follow the law", "I am not the competent person, others are", "I am I am from
a working class family. Deep down I do not want to cut the light on anyone, "is at least
exasperating and scoundrel. Their statements of type "we have stated in writing that we do
not agree with the courts" were answered "or decline in practice or resign" and made it
clear that nothing will be left unanswered to those who sleep with conscience quiet.

After general anesthesia in 1981, the social movement wakes. Right, back to business in
March, launched liberal attacks on all fronts. Four powerful movements are the back: Youth
in the fall of 1986, the railway in December 1986, instits the spring of 1987, nurses in
the fall of 1988. A new cycle of struggles is coming, marked by the advent innovative
practices of self-organization. This is the time of "coordination". ---- The first half of
the 1980s is that of union decline. low profile under the government PS-PCF, wait and face
the provocations of Prime Minister Chirac, credit unions erodes, and the track is no
exception. Stuck in the joint institutions blocked union federations multiply actions 24
hours without a future and spread their divisions.
The years 1985 and 1986 have nevertheless seen popping local strikes more or less
spontaneous, hard, often declared illegal. So in September 1985, against the hardening of
the "knowledge test", driving agents (ADC), Chambéry deposit "laid the bag"[1]without
notice. In two days, the strike affects over 75% of agents and bends the direction,
demonstrating, and it's not nothing, it is possible to fight and win without waiting for a
hypothetical trade union unity.
The national day of action on 21 October 1986 was also a success. But it's mid-November
that everything changes when the CEO of the SNCF has a salary scale project that showcases
the "merit" that is to say arbitrary. Meanwhile, police violence against student protests
hostile to the project tend Devaquet the atmosphere.
The stage is set, the curtain can rise on what will be the longest railway workers strikes.

While booking agents begin December 8 strike against the removal of a premium of 300
francs, the ADC of Paris-Nord deposit develop a leaflet calling all ADC to action for the
18 and asking "support" the unions. The leaflet, printed in fifty copies only runs on
machines, hand to hand. Photocopies enter deposits and households. Lu commented, he met a
great response.
Union side, only the CFDT "sniffed" the phenomenon. Militant UTCL[2]Michel Desmars is then
responsible ADC CFDT. December 12 is present at the general meeting of ADC Paris-Nord.
Leaving this AG, he filed illico a five-day strike notice from 18 to 5 short days to be
sprayed!
December 18, 1986, ADC therefore go on strike at Paris-Nord. In two days the movement
spread to all deposits, one in particular that will give a new impetus: Sotteville-lès-Rouen.
The Rouen area are indeed, since the 1970s, a current of ideas, let's call it "unitary,"
which advocates unity in struggle, and direct democracy. This current, whose audience is
important, will find there the opportunity to finally lead a strike by its views[3]. on
December 19, the AG ADC filing Sotteville, the absence of the CGT and the autonomous
General Federation of operation staff (corporatist union), facilitates the establishment
of a strike committee.
The newspaper Antenna 2, 7 January 1987 mass movement, worker sabotage on lines, policing ...
20 and 21, the roles become clearer between shareholders, strike committee and trade
unions. Basically, only the AG has decision-making power, the strike committee and the
various commissions are only the executive; the strike committee is composed of elected
representatives every day comrades. A seat is also attributed to law unions that wish.
Their role players - but not managers - the fight is recognized.
26, on the initiative of the AG Sotteville, a first National Coordination brings together
hundreds of delegates at Paris-Nord. The discussions are difficult. It is feared political
manipulation, and OL practices not arrange anything as we will see later. The discussions
focus on strengthening the movement and calling for a national demonstration. Finally, the
ADC Coordination set up a telephone network whose backbone consists of 55 deposits. The
information is centralized and sent to each AG which can then be determined by knowingly.

union cautiousness
The press, present from the first National Coordination, made even more hype around this
new phenomenon that sees an opportunity to conclude the obsolescence of unionism.
Fortunately Coordination does not fall into the trap and refuses any union busting, while
not prohibiting not to criticize the practice.
Compared to this unprecedented situation, what will be the attitude of the union leaders?
The CGT, FO and FGAAC live painfully the existence of the National Coordination which in
fact undermine their leadership. So when a delegation of the Coordination visits to the
seats of four federations, only two agree to receive us! At the CGT, Pascal Lopez explains
- very sympathetically incidentally - that the CGT can join in our initiatives. For its
part the CFDT - which are present comrades of UTCL as Henri Celie and Christian Mahieux -
confirms its support for the Coordination. In fact only the CFDT is in line with this
innovative way to lead the fight. But there is a CFDT federation did not deny the spirit
of May 68, in which the extreme left is influential. Its activists are involved in AG-es
and coordination.

Polemics on intercatégoriel
The strike of ADC contaminates gradually the other trades of the SNCF. Chugging along the
strike spread, but it will take eight days to make it comprehensive.
Some areas are far-es of LO activists, including Daniel Vitry, a member of the federal
office of the CFDT-Cheminots, then launched the idea of a "national coordination
cross-category". Symptomatically, press the baptize ... "Daniel Vitry coordination."
Indeed the hosts of this coordination are activists and LO activists who promote their
"creature" without regard to reality, ignoring the absence of prior work, neglecting the
heterogeneity of the various services and, ultimately, harming a real inter enlargement.
Many delegations are questionable, without any mandate from their AG: handling LO is
omnipresent.
It is interesting to note the position of the revolutionary organizations in the conflict.
The ideological determinations, in daily practice, shattered. On the one hand those
(typically the UTCL and LCR) who want to articulate union membership and the base unit. On
the other those who are fighting for hegemony in their respective chapels. LO promotes
"cross-category" Coordination she pulls the strings, and it is followed by the monthly of
the Communist Organization libertarian, AC, no doubt lured by the term "cross-category".
Trotskyists Lambertists are, halfway through the zealous defenders of "trade union unity"
and show their distrust face coordinations. Articles appearing in the FA of the weekly, Le
Monde Libertaire, often in the same vein.

A starting point
Despite its divisions, the movement remains strong and has a real international impact. We
then receive messages of support, but also the visit of Polish railway Solidarnosc,
English, Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain, and especially Italian friends of the magazine Encor
in marcia .
Meanwhile, Matignon worries. It is out of question, after yielding on Devaquet, suffering
a second snub. Divided on how to proceed, the government button pointing boot December 26
a "mediator". As clashes between strikers and police are increasing, the convoluted
formulations mediator leave after a few days point to a withdrawal of the wage scale and
timetable of negotiations on working conditions.
On January 9, a narrow majority, the deposit of Chambéry vote to return to work, causing
deposits in the East. The next Coordination, for the sake of avoiding a return to work
piecemeal, called the AG to decide to resume.
The salary scale will be removed after three weeks of fighting, but the strike will still
continue until January 14, and many other claims will be met. What will remain in the
imaginary railroad, more than the idea of victory is the conviction of a newfound pride:
we have, over time, equaled and exceeded our ancestors of the great strike of 1920. We
knew against the government and direction, despite some trade union federations, build a
fighting tool managed from the bottom up. This model will be resumed at the struggles of
school teachers in 1987, and the nurses in 1988.
Twenty years later, the unions (some) evolved, the general assemblies have become
essential. Provided the revolutionary syndicalists still have to fight for maximum
autonomy and initiative at the base. They still have to promote the need for a permanent
organization (it's called a union) managed from the bottom up. They still have to struggle
for self-management of struggles, "gymnastics" prior to the takeover of the work tool, a
prelude to self-management of the whole society!

The final declaration of the Northern Syria Democratic Federal System Constituent Assembly
issued a call to all circles in Syria to take active part in the building of a Democratic
and Federal Syria. The Northern Syria Constituent Assembly conference began in the town
of Rimêlan on December 27 and lasted three days. ---- Yesterday, the 165-member council
approved the Social Contract draft. ---- The final declaration of the conference was made
public in a press conference. ---- Constituent Assembly member Elizabeth Koreyî who read
the final declaration stated that the second meeting on the works of the Northern Syria
Democratic Federal System Constituent Assembly, which was declared on March 17, 2016, was
held with the participation of 165 members from the three cantons and Shehba region on
December 27-28-29 in the scope of the developments in Syria and the region.
Accordingly, the conference witnessed an evaluation of the current process and the latest
situation in Syria, military and political developments-mainly in Northern Syria- Turkey's
occupation of Jarablus and efforts for the occupation of al Bab, threats against Manbij
and Efrîn, changes these have caused in the demography of the region and attacks on
civilians. It was agreed that Turkey's invasion of Syrian soil must be opposed and stood
against.
Participants of the conference also discussed the military developments in Aleppo and
Palmyra, changes in the balance of power and consequent effects of these changes for the
coming process.
According to the final declaration, participants called attention to the importance of a
ceasefire in Syria, and emphasized that all key elements should sit around a joint table
for the resolution of the Syrian crisis in order that the previous failed talks and
meetings aiming a solution do not repeat.
Constituent Assembly member Elizabeth Koreyî stated that the gains achieved by the Syrian
Democratic Forces during the operation to liberate Raqqa were also assessed. Koreyî
continued as follows:
"After that, the Executive Council's report was read. All activities by the committees up
to date were assessed in the report. The Social Contract articles among the main points on
the agenda were separately assessed and necessary changes were made in some articles.
The Constituent Assembly shared the political document set forth for the resolution of the
crisis in Syria. The Assembly stated that the Northern Syrian Federation was a part of the
Democratic and Federal Syria. The Federal System was assessed to be a democratic solution
for the future of Syria and a system to guarantee an exit from the current crisis and to
prevent social collapse. In addition, the administration experience we have achieved since
the July 19 revolution that occurred with the participation of all peoples has posed an
example for all of Syria.
Our call for the democratic and national forces that believe in a political solution is to
come together and build a Democratic and Federal Syria that includes all peoples. With
that, we call on all political and social groups in Northern Syria to take active part in
the democratic system.
We gift this victory achieved through the blood of our martyrs to all the peoples of Syria
for the new year."

From the Trade Union Section of CNT at Safari Madrid we want to share with you the latest
advances in improving working conditions. To put a little background, tell you that last
January 2016, all members of this union section filed a class action lawsuit against the
company. After almost a year, we won the trial, waiting for the company to appeal. Despite
all attempts by the employer to disqualify our actions and to deaf to the different claims
of affiliated workers, the management will have to assume the wages according to
agreement. ---- Since the creation of the section we have been imposing limits to the
cacique methods applied by the park management, fighting for our rights and for
normalizing labor relations. After several years working in the company, with difficult
working and economic conditions, the workers of Safari tired of the situation of
exploitation creating the union section of the CNT. At no time are they fulfilled, nor
respect, nor apply, agreement or statute of workers. Acting the company as if those
regulations did not exist. But the worst thing has been the vexatious treatment of the
park by the management: absolute lack of respect for the personal and family life of
workers, insults, threats, disqualifications, continuous work of 12 hours a day without
breaks, nor To eat, and a long etc.
With the creation of the section, the reaction of the company was not made to wait with
the attempt to "exterminate" the section and any union action in the company.
Nevertheless, we continue to struggle to dignify our work, for everything that belongs to
us and to oppose the totalitarian and exploitative actions of the company. This time it
has been shown that it is possible to turn the tortilla around, we will continue fighting!
Thanks to all #CuentaConCNT
