Third day of the 52 th Confederal Congress CGT. Rich contributions from the Union of Labor
Inspection and the Syndicat Général du Livre Parisien ; the pro-FSM finally resign
themselves to a symbolic vote ; some surrealistic moment on the issue of arms sales and
Abdullah Öcalan. A report on the spot, day by day, by the blog Libertarian libertarians of
the CGT . ---- During the morning of this third day of the Congress, the debate on the
preamble and theme 1 of the guidance document was completed. Still many interventions
around ecological issues but no congressman dares to raise the question of nuclear power
that remains a taboo ! An education activist has recalled the record of the crackdown on
yellow vests among which cégétistes, and proposed that the CGT calls for demonstration
June 2 known as " mutilated for example ". She will not have an answer ...
Arguing that all claims were of equal importance, an activist from Val-de-Marne stubbornly
defended the replacement of the formula " the CGT prioritizes " in the summaries of the
five themes by " the CGT decides ". However, it seems useful to us to know how to
prioritize the objectives in a plan of struggle ...

Two deaths at work every day in France
But the real jolt during this morning of debate, it was due to the intervention of a
delegate of the Labor Inspection Union who recalled that " every day, 2 employees often
young, precarious, subcontractors die at work,[...]every day, several employees or
pensioners die of diseases due to work, often not reported occupational diseases,[...]we
reach nearly 100 000 deaths from asbestos without any industrial without any politician
having to report this crime to justice ".
And to call the congress: " Why the CGT has signed a joint statement on February 6, 2019
with the CFDT, the GSC and FO, statement that requires a reform of health at work while
the government wants to fart in this matter ? Why does this statement not require the
reinstatement of CHSCTs ? Why seek an agreement with the CFDT that defends the conclusions
of the Lecocq report while we fight it head-on ? It is all well and good to refuse Edouard
Philippe's invitation a week before the Confederal Congress, but we should make it a more
general line of conduct ! Let's stop the consultations pipel with the Delevoye on
pensions, Penicaud and the other bastards who govern us! Clarify our orientation to better
start the offensive ! "
Read the full speech at the CGT Congress of the Labor Inspectorate.
Success assured. In general, the applaudimeter is in favor of the interventions which push
to radicalize the formulations, to specify the claims, refer to the class struggle and to
the general strike. Which is rather reassuring.
Every day, two people die at work in France.

Amendments generally " warp " the guidance text
Benjamin Amar, UD Val-de-Marne, candidate for the Confederal Executive Committee, who
shamelessly uses his status as a CGT militant to stand for election on the PCF list in the
European elections, was also very much applauded. denouncing an illegible strategy on
yellow vests and the reintroduction of the term " syndicalism gathered " (in truth, we
must recognize that it is not used in the same way as under the Bernard Thibault era).
When reading the integrated amendments, the guidance document was generally "left- wing ".
The preamble and theme 1 are finally adopted by 69 % of the mandates, 31 % against and 9 %
abstention. Proportions that recall the vote on the balance sheet.
While ETUC speaks, we sing L'Internationale in the lobby
International issues are dealt with in Theme 5. The agenda, however, placed the debate on
them in second place ! Was it necessary to get rid of the thorniest question as soon as
possible ? Do not finish the congress on a debate that fracture ? In short, the inversion
of the themes raises questions !
384 amendments tabled by 84 unions. Only 85 amendments were retained, which overall "
warped " again the original document. The text calls in particular for March 8 to be a day
of strike and proposes to " all the global union confederations " to demonstrate in Geneva
in June for the anniversary of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
The interventions of foreign delegations, translated simultaneously, and the greetings of
leaders of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the European Trade Union
Confederation (ETUC) were all applauded, even though a group of delegates sang in the
lobby of the congress an angry International during the intervention of ETUC ...
Read " International trade unionism: A panorama to see clearly " , Alternative Libertaire,
September 2018
The debate opened as expected with amendments from the UDs of Val-de-Marne and
Bouches-du-Rhône, as well as the Commerce federation. They demanded that the CGT leave the
ETUC and return to the World Federation of Trade Unions with observer status. It should be
noted that a speaker of the 94 recognized that there are organizations that can not be
reconciled to the WFTU, but stressed that this could not be a disqualifying criterion
since there are also some at the ITUC (well seen ... ).
Weapons, " not a commodity " ???
The issue of arms sales by France has given rise to a surrealist crossover. The original
text postulated that arms are " not like other goods " to condemn arms sales to Saudi
Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that are currently devastating Yemen. Well, the arms
unions have gotten rid of this passage with a tortuous argument, arguing that it should
not be written that the weapons were a " commodity " because they were part of the
national independence, and that to write that they were a " commodity " would pave the way
for privatization!!!! It is incredible that the commission accepted this retreat !
The Caesar guns, produced by the French company Nexter, are used by the Saudi army to bomb
civilian populations in Yemen.
cc Arte
An improbable amendment calling for European funding of public services was so clumsily
pushed back by a seemingly tense commission that it was voted on. The congressmen
obviously wanted to sanction the congress bureau and its woody accents. An example ? The
commission refused to integrate the demand for the release of PKK Kurdish leader Abdullah
Ocalan, saying that this was not a demand from the Turkish unions. While no Turkish union
can publicly formulate such a request, under penalty of immediate dissolution and
imprisonment !
The " pro-FSM " finally gave up the defense until the vote the exit of the CES and the
observer status to the WFTU. They have contented themselves with a rather symbolic
amendment that specifies the initial text: after a sentence that says that the CGT seeks
to work with the confederations regardless of their international affiliation, they asked
for a vote to clarify " including the WFTU " .
Convention Bureau provokes annoyance
While the stakes were ultimately very slim, the commission froze in a posture that angered
Congress, and a first vote clearly showed a majority for the amendment. The bureau
therefore finally decided to hold a second vote (!), Arguing that some delegations did not
understand ... The second vote confirmed the first, the bureau of the congress ridiculed.
In the evening the precise results of the vote on the amendment and on theme 5 were still
not available, but the adoption of the amendment was confirmed by the bureau ... The
confusion definitely woke the congress !
The afternoon ended with the debate on Theme 2, which counted 827 amendments tabled, of
which 52 % were retained. The General Union of Books and Written Communication (SGLCE,
more than 2,000 members in Île-de-France) has made a good intervention. He explained that
if he had been able to organize among precarious, self-employed and home-based workers, it
was thanks to his structuring into an industry union. And he recalled that beyond
protective statutes for employees, the CGT had to fight for the abolition of wage labor.
The debate bounced back on an opposition between supporters of pension plans and those
defending the confusing position of the CGT for " just reform ". Indeed, while it is
generally necessary to demand top-down alignment, activists in sectors still covered by "
special " regimes are entitled to fear that the conclusion of a reform will lower or
liquidate their achievements without it benefits everyone. To agree to open a negotiation
without sufficient balance of power is the certainty of a new social decline.
Finally the activists of the Labor Inspectorate presented numerous amendments, massively
rejected. This raises the question: their union is the first force in the ministry, it
includes many labor inspectors and his opinion on the work would be irrelevant ???
The day, agitated, ends with the vote of theme 2. The results soon !

The awareness of some of the capitalists of the risks associated with the ecological
crisis does not go as far as addressing the measures needed to tackle this crisis. Thus an
Iddri report on agriculture simply fails to look for the necessary measures to achieve
this. ---- The Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (Iddri),
created in 2001 is a "laboratory of ideas" attached to the Institute of Political Studies
of Paris. Its Board of Directors includes founding members EDF, GDF-Suez and Veolia.
However, Iddri has just published Tuesday, April 16 a study to show that feeding Europe
without pesticides is a realistic goal [1]. ---- The scenario established by Iddri
researchers aims to improve the quality of food for Europeans, reduce the climate impact
of agriculture and protect the environment. They propose to abolish all use of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. They estimate that this would result in a 35% decrease in
agricultural production in the Union.
A necessary confrontation with the multinationals
But if at the same time eating habits changed and consumers ate more grains, legumes,
fruits and vegetables and less meat this scenario would feed the 530 million people that
will be the European Union in 2050.
This is furthermore advocated by the World Health Organization. Do not go crazy about the
details, for the most part it's also what the consistent ecologists have said for a long time.
It is feasible ? So how to do it ? The first question is that of the will - non-existent -
to leave the intensive agricultural model. The call for conditioning CAP aid [2]on
environmental criteria, a proposal made by a platform of NGOs and farmers' organizations,
is not taken into account, especially in the context of the envisaged 5 % of the aid
envelope. Researchers claim that their model would not necessarily lead to an increase in
agricultural prices, if we include "all costs, including externalities, such as health
expenditures or those related to water pollution control. "Says Xavier Poux, co-author of
the report. Here we are at the heart of the problem. This would contravene the rules of
the World Trade Organization. Of course, there is no mention of the necessary
confrontation with multinational agrochemicals ; the questioning of the logic of
agricultural concentration at work for 70 years, supported by the FNSEA ; the need to
break with the free and undistorted competition of the EU, etc. This subject is
fundamental, but we have little to expect solutions from liberal experts.

As the number of people claiming Universal Credit hits two million, with some 200,000
signing up in April alone it's pretty clear that the policies of austerity are gutting the
working class, removing peoples means to survive capitalism. Many of these are new claims
from the recently unemployed while others are forced transitions from various prior
systems whohave spent weeks without transition payments and around half on those
transitioned have seen substantial reductions, especially those who were recieving
additional support due to ill health or who provide a caring role. The policy in Practice
group say that 40% will lose out by an average £59 a week. ---- Families being forced onto
state benefits by a corrupt system is bad enough but this system, which should be pinnicle
of commpassion and support, is woefully uncaring and inadequate. 14% of new claims are not
paid on time or in full. Of those, 10%, but not in full. To survive this people are having
to turn to foodbanks, which are running out of capacity and advanced payments, which
reduce payments in the future.
It's a national disgrace which has left hundreds of thousands of people in precarious
situtions and all there have been dozens of deaths, directly and indirectly as a result of
this beurocratic nightmare. This ever changing system of complicated rules and procedures
where the options are only given to you half the time and where the slightest error on
your behalf could see you starving is a game of high stakes and all too many people are
being trodden over as they have with the previous systems.
This is where the Universal Credit Claimants Unions aims to step in. Founded on the 1st of
May this year by The Anarchist Party their aim is "to improve the lives of claimants, to
fight for the complete reform or abolition of Universal Credit, and to publicise
claimants' experiences of an aggressive, punitive system that constitutes an assault on
the living standards of ordinary people." in their words "We believe we are all more
valuable than merely a supply of labour for an economy, and that to be disadvantaged in an
unjust system should never be described as failure or as a justification for disrespect
and degradation."
They join groups such at Fight Universal Credit Atrocities and Stop Universal Credit in
voicing their disgust at the behaviour of the state alongside groups for ESA and PIP.
Doctors, lawyers, journalists, bloggers and ex DWP staff are all there saying the system
is flawed, dysfunctional... a hostile environment for the most in need, responsible for
suicides, countless family tragedies and increasing poverty. The seek to unite and support
Claimants by forming a strong union able to represent them in appointments and take on the
politicians at the national level to ensure that the benefit system is one that actually
works for the people who need it.
Organising in a horizontal and democratic manner and charging just £1 a month subs the
union is looking to establish a presence on a local, regional and national level as a
dedicated Union. Support for those stuck on the dole has historically had a rather severe
ebb and flow, usually coming from Activist campaigns and networks, notably (the IWW)
however benefit users have never had a distinct Union as such before and access to the
focused solidarity and support that that would entail.
The UCCU is in it's infancy sure, however they have already established several inital
points of contact across England and Wales, a pretty solid Constitution and are gaining a
fair amount of traction in developing the skillsets and capacity to support folk trapped
in the benefit system. Given that this section of the working class is often overlooked as
an organisation front it is inspiring such a organisation and we hope it's revolutionary
union goes from strength to strength, empowering people and helping them to survive a most
horrific system.
Learn more about UCCU by checking out their website and following them on social media.

Anarcho-syndicalists from the Brazilian Workers' Confederation (COB-AIT, section of the
International Association of Workers) took part in protest speeches by educators and
students against the neoliberal policies of far-right president Bolsonar on May 15. The
general strike at state universities and schools and demonstrations, which were attended
by hundreds of thousands of people in 188 cities of 27 states of the country, became the
first mass challenge to the regime of Bolsonar. ---- The right-wing government of Brazil
announced its intention to cut subsidies to state universities by 30%. But this is not the
only reason for indignation of the protesters. People are dissatisfied with many other
measures of the authorities, including budget cuts in other areas, pension reform,
repression, etc.
By taking part in demonstrations (in particular, in the city of Porto Alegre, where the
picture was taken), COB said that its activists took to the streets with their own agenda.
"Although we know that almost the overwhelming majority of these demonstrations throughout
the country are clearly organized by (...) parties and (...)" yellow "state-related trade
unions, the PSO took part in them, but not to go to the tail of these manifestations
(...). " Recalling that anarcho-syndicalists organize their own pickets and actions,
expressing their protest in a simple and understandable form, the comrades further stated: ".
Before and during the demonstrations, the anarcho-syndicalists distributed their own
posters and leaflets. Recalling that. that the struggle is not only in the field of
education, they called for a perpetual general strike, for self-organization - without
parties, heads, intermediaries, government support, and reformist trade unions.

DWP Secretary Amber Rudd is determined to be Boris Johnson's running mate in the imminent
Tory leadership campaign. Her fragile 346 vote majority in Hastings is one problem. Her
other problem is her responsibility for Universal Credit and its disastrous impact on
working-class households. This in turn is attracting a stream of bad press stories, even
in the Mail and the Sun. Not a good look for an ambitious One Nation Tory. ---- Solution?
Suddenly, after years of denial, refusal to release information or allowing journalists to
speak to JobCentre staff, the DWP is launching a public relations campaign to persuade the
public that Universal Credit is a wondrous and beautiful thing. ---- A leaked internal
memo picked up by DPAC, the Disability News Service and subsequently the Guardian reveals
a concerted publicity campaign involving newsprint and TV to "myth-bust the common
inaccuracies reported on UC".
At the end of May, giant ads wrapped around the cover of the Metro freesheet at a cost of
£250,000 will be accompanied by a further four-page advertorial feature.According to the
leaked memo "the features won't look or feel like DWP or UC - you won't see our branding
... We want to grab the readers' attention and make them wonder who has done this ‘UC
uncovered' investigation."This will go on for nine weeks. The Metro has an estimated
readership of 2½ million.
Amber Rudd meanwhile will invite selected journalists to JobCentres to see "the great work
we do".This has already started. Under the headline "I think Universal Credit is great -
here's why', the Leicester Mercury last week splashed an interview with a job coach team
leader at the local Job Centre Plus. The article declares that ‘Living on benefits is not
a lifestyle choice' and repeats the long- discredited myth about intergenerational benefit
dependency. When challenged as to why there was no mention of the DWP campaign or the
common ownership shared by the Leicester Mercury and the Metro, the reporter in question
insisted that it was an interview and not an advertisement.
To cap this publicity campaign BBC2 will be screening a three-part "documentary" which is
"looking to intelligently explore UC" by filming inside three jobcentres. It will not be
reporter-based - no risk of awkward questions. The leaked DWP memo drools about how this
will be a fantastic opportunity and how the DWP has been involved from the start. What's
more, the DWP will see the final product before it's broadcast. The BBC of course denies
this has anything to do with editorial control.
Unfortunately for Amber Rudd the whole publicly funded stunt is starting to unravel.
First the leaked memo blew away any secrecy.Secondly, if readers' comments are anything to
go by, the press visits to JobCentres are being seen straight away for what they are,
undeclared government propaganda. Thirdly, a House of Commons Select Committee has picked
up on the leak and has started to ask awkward questions. Due to the "lack of branding"
even the Advertising Standards Authority could become involved.
Above all, what do claimants themselves think? DPAC is quite clear.As reported by the
Disability News Service, DPAC has now called on its supporters to visit locations where
the free paper is given away - such as train and tube stations - and "remove or otherwise
prevent as many as possible" from being read from 31 May.
DPAC is also preparing a dossier of evidence about the DWP-Metro deal to pass to the
advertising watchdog, and pledges to "make sure the Metro never want another DWP advert
again".A spokesperson said: "We refuse to be force-fed government propaganda, so we will
put a stop to it ourselves. If they want us to be militant, we will be militant. We are
not taking it anymore.

"Yellow vests" celebrated the six months of the movement of new demonstrations throughout
France. On May 18, almost 41 thousand people took to the streets of French cities. This
time "Reims" and "Nancy" were elected "national" protest centers. ---- Several
demonstrations were scheduled in Paris: one - from La Défense to Montmartre, the other was
about to go through the Champs Elysées, but this was still prohibited. Besançon and
Saint-Nazaire authorities also banned demonstrations in the city center. In Lyon, the
"yellow vests" decided to hold a demonstration without prior notice. ---- In Reims, the
protesters of the "yellow vests" and the "black block" gathered near the Bulenggren
market, raising a banner: "Macron imposes, France explodes"; the letter "A" in the
inscription was circled. Then they moved towards the station. By 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, they reached Erlon Square in the city center. On Vel Street, most shops and
restaurants have lowered the roller shutters. On Voltaire Street, clashes began. The
police used tear gas, the protesters showered her with stones from the pavement and
bottles. Everywhere in the center of the city the windows were broken, including the
windows of Credit Arykol Bank, Laforet and Neciti real estate agencies and other
establishments. On Talleyrand Street, protesters smashed the windows of the Adidas store
and burst inside. At the crossroads of Talleyrand and Elu streets, demonstrators and
police came face to face; boil the battle. After 4 o'clock, the police began to grab the
protesters on Erlon Square, where there were also clashes. During the incidents, the
police used flashballs. As a result of the collisions, a wooden pavilion caught fire at
the Promenade construction site. From Erlon Square, the demonstrators again came to the
Bulengren market, and from there they went to Laon Avenue. By 5 o'clock, capitalist forces
began to push back the protesters on Laon Avenue. Under the shouts and curses of those who
had gathered ("Burn in hell, sons of bitches!"), The police repeatedly threw gas against
the demonstrators. After 17.13 the clashes were still going on; The demonstrators blocked
the tram rails with a burning barricade, but the fire was put out by firefighters. After
the battles with the police, the protesters began to retreat to the station, defeating the
blessed france bureau on the way. At about 7 pm the demonstrators dispersed. As a result
of the protests, several people were slightly injured; 12 people arrested.
Thousands of participants from various regions came to the demonstration in Nancy, which
started from Place Carnot at 2 pm. Heading for the station, the protesters marched along
the Kennedy Viaduct, stopping at the residence of the Large Nancy City Community, where
they tore off the EU flag and burned it. In his place was a yellow vest. Then the
demonstration followed, and at the corner of the streets of 4 churches and Charles III,
clashes broke out with the police, who used tear gas. The cortege moved across the Vosges
square and stopped at the police headquarters on Lobo Boulevard, chanting anti-police
slogans. The march ended at the gates of St. Catherine, where new battles with the police
took place, in clubs of tear gas. It is reported that 1 policeman was injured and 5
arrests were made.
In Lyon, the "yellow vests" gathered at 1.30 pm on Antonen Ponce Square, chanting: "Lyon,
get up!". The demonstration began in a relatively calm atmosphere, moving along Marronier
Street. At 3 pm, the first clashes with the police in front of the embankments occurred.
The police turned on the gas, the demonstrators began to set fire to the bins. Marsh
quickly moved to the square of Guillaumere, on the way engaging in battle with the police.
Above the column was patrolling a police helicopter. Only after 5 o'clock did the
situation gradually calm down, and after 5.30 pm the protesters after several police
attacks began to dissipate in the 3rd district (district of Raspay)
In Paris, one of the columns of demonstrators gathered near the highest court at the
Clichy gates at 11.00. The police tried to maximally "put pressure on the psyche" by
conducting systematic searches. There were a few gathered, and they set off. At 14.00 they
joined with the march against Monsanto.
The second group gathered at the tower of the company "Total" on the Defense. At 13.00
they moved towards Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre. Numerous demonstrators began their journey
in a festive atmosphere. Among the posters one could notice "Total" and the state robbing
us "and" For Europe - social, ecological and solidary ", posters against the Minister of
Internal Affairs Kastaner ... The police tried to surround the procession and slow down
its progress. "They do not stop us from blocking for anything at all. What are your
orders?" - the protesters were indignant. After 4 pm on the street of Constantinople,
clashes broke out with the police who used the gas. The route of the march ran through the
Herold square, the Champerre Gate, Europe Square, Magenta Boulevard and Lamarca Street.
By 3 pm, another group of Parisian demonstrators arrived at the Place de la Republique,
intending to move towards the Place de la Stalingrad. They also expressed their protest
against the agrochemical concerns "Monsanto" and "Bayer". Some participants held banners,
reminding them that "In France, 96% of rivers and 61% of phreatic zones are infected with
pesticides." People chanted: "Monsanto, we will take off your skin!", "1, 2, 3 degrees -
this is a crime against humanity!". Part of the protesters lay on the ground, depicting
the dead as a result of concerns of actions. By 16.45 the column reached the area of
Stalingrad.
Meanwhile, in Montreuil near Paris, activists re-erected a hut of "yellow vests" at the
crossroads of the highway, destroyed shortly before.
In Toulouse, the demonstration of "yellow vests" gathered at least 6 thousand
participants. Authorities put up against the protesters 500 policemen, 2 armored personnel
carriers, water cannons and a helicopter. The march was mostly calm, not counting the
clashes in the square of de Gaulle and the alley of Jean Jaures. With the help of gas, the
police did not let the protesters into the central square of the Capitol. 5 people were
detained.
Hundreds of people marched through the streets in the center of Caen, trying to break into
the hippodrome. After removing their vests, they were able to enter the city center, where
marches were prohibited. Later, the demonstrators dispersed. Clashes of protesters with
the police are marked in Maubeuge.
In Ale (Gar), protesters smashed the windows of banks on Avezhan Street. In Tarbes (Upper
Pyrenees), a demonstration that brought together several hundred people was held
peacefully. In the center of Saint-Lo (Normandy), the protesters passed under the thunder
of drums. In Peyrorad (Landes), protesters after a march around the city held a
demonstration at one of the many Monsanto factories. A major demonstration was held in
Montpellier. In Besançon, protesters reached the prefecture, despite the prohibitions.
