A collective dispute has been going on in Amazon since May. On June 18 in Poznan the first 
meeting with the mediator took place. On the same day, before there were talks, Amazon 
announced that he was raising wages from the beginning of July. ---- In a dispute, unions 
demand wage increases, changes in the way employees are appraised, and the number of 
temporary and fixed-term contracts limited. The employer has not yet adopted any solutions 
proposed by the trade union. On the day of mediation, the employer provided the employees 
with a message regarding the increase in remuneration. Amazon equaled earnings in all 
warehouses in Poland, which the relationship demanded for a long time. The necessity of 
pay raises and compensation was raised both during the dispute and in many previous 
meetings with the employer. Therefore, we welcome the information about the company's 
decision.

However, we strongly question the introduction of increases without agreeing them with the 
trade union. Amazon representatives did not want to negotiate any amount during earlier 
talks. Organizations do not agree to skipping the union side in terms of wage 
negotiations. In addition, the amounts proposed by the employer significantly differ from 
the expectations of employees and the postulate and market realities we have submitted.

It should be noted that the average wage increase is to amount to 60 eurocents per hour. 
This highlights the huge pay gap between Amazon employees in Western Europe despite the 
same obligations and the same, if not more, workload.

In addition, we maintain that in addition to the wage issue, the change in the employee 
rating applicable at Amazon is a pressing issue. According to the unions, its purpose is 
only to discipline and punish an employee. We also demand restrictions on agency 
contracts, instead we postulate employing employees on contracts for an indefinite period.

We believe that work standards in the Polish branches of Amazon differ from those that 
exist in other countries. In our opinion, the dialogue is practically non-existent, and 
the talks so far have had a fake character. If the employer continues to apply such a 
negotiation strategy and does not continue mediation with the will to agree, the dispute 
will become more acute, which, given the determination of employees, may end with a strike.

 From Wednesday, June 19, at your nearest union. We advance the presentation of the new 
era. ---- After a brief but indispensable absence, the "CNT" newspaper comes back with 
renewed energy, as always with the pretension of being the voice of revolutionary 
anarcho-syndicalism. Anyone who knows the Confederation could already have anticipated 
that it would not be long before our organ of expression returned to the press. Perhaps 
Fidel Miró, founder of "Ruta" magazine in 1936, reminds us of his youth as a young man in 
the documentary "Viviendo la Utopía", with a mischievous look, that "when three anarchists 
met, a newspaper was made." ---- And so it remains; it was not long before a large team 
assembled to restart the machinery. As always, with the capacity for collective work that 
characterizes our libertarian and solidarity thinking, with the eagerness to explain 
everything that implies to feel the true collaboration between equals, that is our goal 
and at the same time our remuneration. Like all that the CNT carries out, this newspaper 
is a practical example of anarcho-syndicalism and militant effort.

With a renewed format, but without forgetting the enormous responsibility that supposes to 
continue a work of almost 87 years of history, in this new stage of the "CNT" we will bet 
for more analyzes, more reports and, above all, we want these pages to be an invitation to 
the reflection and the subsequent exchange of ideas as a collective within the union, at 
the workplace, on the street and in our daily lives.

"Like everything the CNT does, this newspaper is a practical example of 
anarcho-syndicalism and militant effort."

A new stage marked by the change in the way we communicate with new technologies, in a 
digital world in which information must be rapid. A means that the system used to bombard 
the population with millions of messages to give us the sensation of knowing everything 
when we do not know anything true.

Being aware of this, the membership of the CNT, gathered at its last Congress in Zaragoza, 
decided to renew the union websitewww.cnt.es , making it a more informative web, which 
today constitutes our digital newspaper, with the immediate reality, reflecting the 
day-to-day reality of the union's work. But we did not want to forget the traditional 
ways, the role that allows us to get our ideas to the streets, to our work station, our 
dear "CNT" that brought us so close to anarcho-syndicalism.

All this always being clear that we must offer a mature and convincing point of view, and 
that for this we must have professionals in each branch who are also able to communicate 
objectively and clearly. Precisely what gives us being a union organization of class, 
since we are in each job, we are the engine that moves the productive machine and 
therefore we have the possibility to express opinions in all spheres of society and from 
below. It is not enough for us to give our opinion once every four years, we want to give 
an opinion on everything that is our responsibility as settlers on the planet.

"We are the engine that drives the productive machine and therefore we have the 
possibility to express opinions in all spheres of society and from below."

On this occasion, we will go out with a quarterly periodicity that will allow us to 
analyze with serenity the reality that surrounds us and offer our point of view, always 
alternative, always independent of economic powers. Because our gazette is financed in a 
self-managed way with the membership fees, without the pressure of advertisers nor 
shareholders.

So, we started our walk with the pretension to reach all the membership, as well as 
receive suggestions through the Secretaries of Communication, with the purpose of 
improving this project that longs to be of all the CNT. And since Malatesta defined 
anarchist people as those who want"maximum well-being, maximum freedom, maximum 
development possible for all human beings," we are sure that we will reach further.

The student movement in the south of Bolivia has a long history, as well as diverse 
ideological influences. Denying the existence of a student movement in the domain of 
public universities, especially with the ideological influences of the symbol that it was, 
affirms that apoliticity on the issue of education is a contradiction; as Paulo Freire 
says: "The political nature of such a task exists independently of whether we are aware of 
it or not." (p 137, Letters to Guinea Bissau, Freire). If indeed secondary school and 
university students or teachers, all students, were walking in the Chaco Plain without 
meeting one another, this wouldn't mean that their paths would never cross, such as in May 
2001, when the "Guevarista"-influenced current in the classrooms of the Universidad 
Pública en Yacuiba (Public University of Yacuiba) decided to meet with the leadership of 
the secondary student movement at the centre of the Student Coordinator popularly known as 
Asoces (Asociación de Centro de Estudiantes - Central Association of Students). For the 
last three years of the twentieth century this became a space in the south of Bolivia to 
criticise the policies of the neoliberal Educaional Reform Bill of 1994. Continuing this 
legacy, in the first decade of the twenty-first century came the revival of the Federación 
Estudiantil Secundarista (Federation of Secondary Students), but it was then (May 2001) 
that university and secondary students in Yaciuba really understood the necessity of 
pushing for the consolidation of higher education in Chaco. We mustn't forget that in 
2001, the University of Tarija wanted to close the only option for public higher education 
in Yacuiba.

That attempt, which would have succeeded because the fight didn't resonate with the public 
(the local bourgeoisie showed no interest in supporting the consolidation of public higher 
education in Chaco), would still find an opposition in the students who organised in the 
Asoces, in an agreement with the union which would later repeat itself at other levels of 
decision. A quote from Bakunin says, "The union is strength. This is a well-known truth 
that no one will want to contradict. However, it is important to understand it well. For 
the union to produce that effect, it must be real and sincere at all times and not mean 
the hypocritical exploitation of one party for the benefit of another." (Letter, Bakunin, 
1870) It is important to note that the majority of the militants of the Asoces had an 
inclination towards anarchism, belonging to a group descended from the thought of Liber 
Forti. This anarchist intellectual played an important role for the constitution of the 
Universidad Obrera de Llallagua (Workers University of Llallagua), having contributed to 
the formation of a nucleus of militant anarchists during his visits to the city border of 
Yacuiba in the second half of the twentieth century. Towards the end of that century, 
these anarchists would pass their knowledge to a new generation, who would discover a 
revolutionary truth in the writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Errico Malatesta, Mikhail 
Bakunin and Piotr Kropotkin. Without that knowledge, the anarchist student movement in 
Yacuiba would not have been able to construct a solid discourse of struggle and unity.

On the subject of the union, Bakunin states: "Trust makes the union, and the union creates 
strength. We have here, without doubt, two truths that no one will try to deny. Moreover, 
to be true, two things are necessary: that the trust is not a farce and that the union, 
equally sincere for all parties, must not be an illusion, a lie, or the hypocritical 
exploitation of one party by the other. The parties who unite must forget completely, not 
forever, no doubt, but for the time that the union should last, their particular, 
necessarily opposed interests." (The Knouto-germanic Empire and Social Revolution, 
Bakunin, 1870). The economic crisis of the capitalist system which hit the people of 
Yacuiba in 2002, the consolidation of the secondary student movement in 2003, the 
consensus of the Encuentro Nacional Libertario (Libertarian National Conference) in 
Paukaparta (La Paz, 16 October 2004) and the expansion of public higher education in Chaco 
from 2002, would set the stage for the signing of the founding statement of the Frente 
Autonomia (Autonomous Front), a student organisation which with time pushed for the 
creation in 2007 of their own Federación Universitaria Local (Local University Student 
Federation)[FUL]for Chaco (since 2018 this instance of co-government is no longer 
classified in a separate list in the directory of the regional FUL, thus burying ten years 
of an experience of government which respects the particular characteristics of university 
life in Yacuiba). Since the student elections in 2008, Autonomía has been growing as an 
anarchist student organisation, on the platform of "a strong student movement, built from 
the bottom up" (Documento Político para Transformar la Educación superior Pública, 
Autonomía, 2014). It mobilised students in defence of their rights in various Student 
Government leadership spaces in the Faculty of Integrated Sciences of Gran Chaco, part of 
the University of Tarija. By March 2018, it would reach the historical milestone of being 
the driving force of a university movement at the departmental level, challenging the 
ruling cliques of the most neoliberal universities of the Bolivian higher education 
system. The passage of time has allowed for the consolidation of a Yacuiban anarchist 
group into a model of organisation, direction and unity for the rest of the Bolivian 
student movement.

Since 2018, Autonomía has been the fundamental pillar in building the Federación 
Estudiantil Boliviana Anarquista[FEBA], a diverse space for discussion between the popular 
and anarchist student organisations, which fight the hierarchy and corruption of the 
leadership of the Student Governments, in addition to the opportunistic electoralism of 
short-lived groups which, stripped of all ideology, seek only the crumbs of power for 
their own benefit, forgetting the large majority of students who are victims of 
authoritarian teachers and the despotism of the university authorities. "It is the 
students who are the victims of the worst learning conditions, due to the ruling cliques 
of teachers who silence all protest and the cowardly student representatives who don't 
speak up against them," (Declaración por el día del trabajo, Autonomía, 2019). With this 
philosophy, affiliated to the FEBA and adhering to the associative pact of the IFA, the 
Autonomía Frente Universitario is the only student organisation which is currently 
continuing to defend public higher education in Yacuiba, true to its history and 
commitment to transform education into an instrument of liberation and social justice.

The Syrian conflict and the repression of Bashar al-Assad kill thousands of people. 
Children are the collateral victims. While French opinion is divided, should we let the 
children of jihadists die ? All of you, denounce this ignominy! ---- According to a study 
for Le Figaro , to the question about the fate of French jihadist children in Iraq and 
Syria, 67% of respondents want to let jihadist children in Iraq and Syria to take care of 
them rather than to do the utmost to repatriate them. Among the "walkers", they are 63% to 
think it and 78% among the LR! ---- Should we be satisfied that 58% of Socialists and 50% 
of those in the IF want the French authorities to do their utmost for the return of 
jihadist children in France? Have they all forgotten the regimes in these countries?

The regime of Bashar al-Assad, since March 2011, has 106 390 civilians killed including 19 
811 children and 12 513 women. In seven years, nearly 20,000 children have died in the 
Syrian conflict, according to the OSDH (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights).

The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) reports a 50% increase in the number of 
children killed in 2017 compared to the previous year. Children represent 20% of the 
civilian victims of this offensive, "the war turns children into wrecks" according to 
Unicef. Have we forgotten those "pale and unconscious children, without visible wounds, 
with dilated pupils?(The express of August 2, 2017).

On April 4, 2017, the inhabitants of Khan Cheikhoun, wake up under the effect of a 
powerful neurotoxic gas: 97 killed. On August 21, 2013, chemical weapons massacre against 
the eastern neighborhoods of Damascus: more than 1,400 dead, including 426 children. In 
both cases, presence of sarin gas.

"The Middle East is a battlefield where the worst atrocities are committed, Bashar 
al-Assad is the political leader who reached records," said Denis Bauchard, advisor to the 
French Institute of International Relations.

So let's leave these kids
Currently just over 100 French children were arbitrarily detained in camps ... From the 1 
stNovember 2018 29 children (not all French) died because of Syrian cold, 70% of children 
under 6 years.

Can we be satisfied with this situation and abandon them there? Should we recall that at 
the end of the Second World War, the problem of children maltreated by the war arose and 
that "the decisive factor for France to accept to take over the abandoned child is his 
French descent" .

These children have or had French parents and in this case a reminder of the law should be 
enough to stop the ignominy: "A child (whether born in France or abroad) is French by 
birth, it is that is to say by descent, if at least one of his parents is French ... If 
the parent loses French nationality, while his child is of age, this does not affect the 
nationality of the child ."

Still, 42% of socialists and 50% of those in the IF are ready not to rescue them! It hurts 
Internationalism.

Walter Scheidel's 2017 book ‘The Great Leveler' is a compelling and very well researched 
piece of ‘grand history', looking at the history of inequality from hunter-gatherer 
societies to the present day. Its central argument is that since the development of 
farming and the state 10,000 odd years ago, inequality slowly rises in times of peace and 
stability, and only ever falls in bursts of extreme violence and destruction. The ‘four 
horsemen' of reductions in inequality or ‘leveling', are state-collapse, plague, 
revolution and mass-mobilisation warfare. Anyone who sees inequality as a social evil 
needs to seriously engage with the points made in this book.
Schiedel starts by noting that early, hunter-gatherer societies were deeply egalitarian, 
and had cultures that discouraged the accumulation of power and wealth. As surpluses began 
to grow, mostly due to agriculture and newly domesticated animals, so too did the relative 
power of small groups of individuals. This process took thousands of years, as our 
egalitarian impulses were stripped away, and humans themselves became domesticated. There 
is much in this story that is familiar to anarchists: states began as predators, 
effectively groups of bandits that controlled territory; social hierarchy and permanent 
settlement were forced onto hunter-gatherers rather than being willingly embraced. The 
basic story, however, is that as states developed and entrenched, they used their power to 
enrich elites at the expense of everybody else. Times of stability and peace allowed this 
process to continue uninterrupted.

The first horseman, state collapse, was when the structures of early predator states fell 
apart. These resulted in ‘leveling' not because ‘the people' rose up and took what was 
theirs, rather, in circumstances where everyone lost everything, the rich had more to 
lose, which reduced inequality just by reducing the wealth of the elite. Plague also 
reduced inequality, by killing enough people to cause a labour shortage, driving up the 
price of labour relative to the price of land (until capitalism, land was the main form of 
elite wealth). The black death, in particular, lowered inequality so drastically that it 
did permanent damage to feudal institutions. The leveling caused by both state collapse 
and plague was slowly reversed as states rebuilt themselves and populations rebounded, and 
by the 18th century inequality was above what it had been before the black death.

The other two horsemen are different to the previous ones in that they are both beasts of 
the last 200 years, products of the social changes wrought by capitalism. The first, 
transformative revolution, is the one leftists are most likely to be interested in. That 
it takes violence to bring down elites is perhaps obvious, however, the revolutions 
described in this book are not ones we should endorse. The two main examples considered 
are China and Russia, both scenes of immense butchery and brutality of a kind that no one 
except Stalinist sociopaths would want to see repeated. Other 20th century revolutions, 
such as those in Vietnam and Cuba, saw far less violence, but also saw less of a reduction 
in inequality. Due to the short-lived nature of Anarchist control in Spain, there isn't 
sufficient data to analyse inequality in 1936-37.

The final horseman considered is mass mobilisation warfare, although really this refers to 
a single event: the global bloodbath of 1914-1945. The means by which inequality was 
reduced was less the massive destruction of capital that took place (although this was 
part of it), and more that because the war required the mobilisation of the resources of 
entire countries, maintaining social support for the war effort required reducing the 
wealth of the rich the most. Progressive taxation, in particular, massively distributed 
wealth downwards and provided the basis for the post-war welfare state. Scheidel argues 
that after 1945, the tax rates on the wealthiest started falling, and although inequality 
trended downwards until the 1970s (much more slowly than the 6 years of WWII), this was 
largely due to the leftover social consequences of the wars.

The second two horsemen, products of the modern world in which we live, are of far greater 
interest to progressives. The fascinating thing about the inequality reductions caused by 
the war was that in a sense, it was not violence itself that reduced inequality, but the 
social solidarity created by the war. This is why America, which saw almost no violence in 
its territory, still had a large reduction in inequality. This would suggest, in turn, 
that while war is a common reason for the mobilisation of the resources of an entire 
nation, it needn't be the only one that could reduce inequality. The discussion of 
revolution, in turn, included one of the most frustrating elements of the book, which was 
when ‘threats of violence' were substituted in for actual violence as a cause of leveling 
in discussions of land reform in South and Central America.

As every leftist knows, the threat of violence is central to maintaining property 
relations and the wealth of elites. People do not simply allow the rich to take all of the 
land, it is their control of the army and, more recently, the police (police are products 
of the modern world), that facilitate their accumulation. Naturally, they will not hand 
this wealth over willingly. This means that if we wish to achieve a better world without 
excessive bloodshed, it is going to have to be because we command overwhelming superiority 
of force, and so use the threat of violence, rather than the thing itself, to bring about 
anarchism. While the author claims to only be investigating the facts of history, not 
arguing for any political position, the questions you ask are always going to involve 
value judgements. In particular, Scheidel asks about the role of violence in bringing down 
inequality, but not the role the kind of systemic, regularised and invisibilized violence 
that characterises periods of ‘peace and stability'. In making this omission, Scheidel 
leaves us with the impression that while trying to reduce inequality may be a noble aim, 
it is likely to do more harm than good, because surely we would rather have an unequal 
society than a society characterised by mass violence. What this obscures is that unequal 
societies are, by definition, societies characterised by mass violence, just not the kind 
of concentrated and chaotic violence he documents in this book.

Still, none of the great leveling events Scheidel examines are ones that leftists today 
should wish to repeat. This means that we need to be imaginative, careful and smart in how 
we think about bringing down capitalism and breaking the power of the ruling class. This 
cannot be done without a revolution, and revolutions necessarily involve violence. The 
question is how we make sure that most of the violence remains a threat, and not a reality.

Little Big Union LBU_IWW ---- ** ELECTION TIME! ** This week marks three months since the 
Little Big Union publicly began raising our collective voice to bargain with our bosses at 
Little Big Burger. It has been three months of elation, but also disappointment. Elation, 
because in three short months we have seen our power as workers materialize when we come 
together to stick up for one another and build a community. Disappointment, because our 
bosses have actively impeded us every step of the way. Little Big Burger has publicly 
stated a "welcoming stance" to the union despite delaying, rescheduling, then outright 
refusing to meet with union workers. All the while they have initiated a contract with a 
union busting law firm, fired longtime, hardworking employees for legally advocating for 
their own workplace improvements, and, most recently, flown in a union busting consultant 
from the east coast to mislead and intimidate employees. There is however a path forward 
in sight.

This weekend we received a response to our appeal for election from the National Labor 
Relations Board. After careful consideration, the board decided to rule in our favor of 
having a mail-in union election at the twelve Little Big Burgers in the Portland-Metro 
area and surrounding suburbs. For workers that means ballots are being mailed out July 1 
and are due to be counted on July 23.

This is a huge win for worker turnout in the election!
A mail-in ballot means voting free from electioneering, done on workers' own time.

Little Big Union is affiliated with the Portland chapter of Industrial Workers of the World

Security and repression ---- The government makes war on migrants, militarizes the 
suburbs, gives years of prison to those who fight, scam us on pensions and income.---- 
Government gifts: misery and jail for everyone!---- The anarchists and anarchists gathered 
in Milan identify in the security decree bis, approved by the government on June 11, a 
further attack against the social opposition, an attack on the freedom to demonstrate, to 
organize and fight, an attack on every expression of solidarity with those struck by the 
contradictions of class society, regardless of place of birth or skin color, an attack on 
the freedom to move and live where one decides. ---- The government, expression of the 
privileged classes, fails to get out of the current economic situation if it does not 
aggravate social disparities, cutting resources to those same measures of insult 
(citizenship income, quota 100), which had been heralded by the formation of the 
government at European elections. In the face of growing social opposition, the answer is 
repression, state violence.
The anarchists and the federated anarchists launch an appeal to the other libertarian 
components and to the social opposition movement to defend and expand the spaces of 
freedom in the squares, workplaces, everywhere, and in particular prevent the application 
of the liberticidal, old and new, every time you try the application.
As part of this struggle, the Italian Anarchist Federation has been organizing a week of 
mobilization for the freedom of the social opposition, against state violence, from 28 
September to 6 October.

War and militarism
The comrades and compañeras gathered at the Conference on 15-16 June in Milan consider it 
important to continue the path of relaunching the anti-militarism that began last year, 
continuing and renewing the dates of struggle and counter-information. The themes of the 
campaign are identified in the denunciation of the war industry and the struggle for its 
conversion, in contrast to the militarization of cities, to the hierarchical and sexist 
culture intrinsic to militarism, to military missions abroad, to environmental pollution 
caused by war apparatus and military expenses. On this last aspect it is important to 
bring out the expected increase for Italy (as for all the other NATO countries) of 
military spending up to at least 2% per annum of GDP.
In addition to anti-militarist propaganda it is necessary to continue to support all those 
realities that are acting in various locations against war installations and the arms 
industry, in particular the struggle in Sardinia against the Domusnovas factory and that 
in Sicily against the Muos.
We therefore support the next initiatives of the Nomuos Movement and in particular the 
struggle camp that will take place from 2 to 5 August in Niscemi.
The day of November 4 is identified as the date for the organization of mobilizations 
spread over the various territories on these issues and all the initiatives that the Turin 
Antimilitarist Assembly will field against the biennial arms fair "Aerospace and defense 
meeting" that support will be held November 27-28 in Turin inviting all comrades and 
companions and federated organizations to participate.

SOLIDARITY IN THE BATTLES IN PRISONS. FOR A SOCIETY WITHOUT GALER
The conditions of detention in Italian prisons are constantly deteriorating: overcrowding 
and physical and psychological abuse are the "normality" of an increasingly intolerable 
situation. Only in 2018 there were 65 suicides in prisons, the highest number in recent 
years, without counting the over one thousand attempted suicides and the tens of thousands 
of cases of self-harm.
If this is the general situation in prisons, the treatment to which one is under the 41bis 
or High Surveillance regime is even worse.
Anarchist criticism of prisons has always been radical: the penitentiary system with its 
intrinsic violence that causes only brutalization and other violence is a product of this 
society based on domination and exploitation and with it it will have to disappear.
In the face of all this we support the struggles of prisoners and inmates who follow one 
another to claim less harsh conditions of detention.
For some time there has been a multiplication of revolts and practices such as the refusal 
of the hour of
