A few years ago, after every summer, the majority unions announced loud and clear
an imminent "hot autumn" that never materialized. It may be the most similar towhat we experienced in the autumn of 2012. But at the labor level the two majorunion structures in the state have always sought to prevent the breaking ofsocial peace, as this is their role in the Regime of 1978. Contrary to whatcommon sense would dictate, since we have the "most progressive government inhistory", this year we are experiencing a real hot autumn at the socio-laborlevel. And this, given that the Government is in the midst of negotiations onlabor reform (in fact,to reform some articles of the Workers' Statute) and couldhave some gesture in the face of the gallery to benefit a working classsuffocated by the post-pandemic crisis.Instead, what we are seeing on the streets of Cádiz is a class struggle like wehave not seen for years - it may be since the 2012 mining strike in León andAsturias. It is a strike for the survival of the region of the Bay of Cadiz, fullof shipyards and large metal companies, crane structures and ships. The threat oftotal closure of the entire county industry has put the entire metal sector, andby extension the county, at war for some years now, as the livelihood of thepopulation depends on the metal.The appearance of a police tank, like those of the 80s, and the deployment ofriot police in working-class neighborhoods, as a force of occupation, forces usto react as a class. This should be an alarm signal. Faced with a protest for thefuture, the government sends hordes of armed thugs. What should we expect fromlabor reform with this scenario? What should we expect after seeing thegovernment back down again and again in the face of big capital interests? Dothey have any credibility left?And that's not to say, but right now numerous companies across the state are inthe midst of indefinite strikes as the situation is getting extremelycomplicated. It may sound like Tubacex or the cleaning of the Guggenheim inBizkaia with hundreds of days of indefinite strike (Tubacex won it a month ago,after 232 days). Well, there is also Novaltia Bizkaia, which has been around for852 days. And there is a Strike Committee in the Aiara Valley, in solidarity withsome company strikes. Araia as the Bay of Cadiz is fighting for its future as aregion. And there is also the future pension strike (December 1) called by themajority and alternative trade unionism in the Basque Country. Or the companyEcoespacio, Galletas Artiach, Calor Bizkaia, Vulcanizados Zuloaga... It iscertainly noticeable that that territory is at the forefront of the classstruggle.It has the most established, most prepared and aware unions to carry itout. They also have powerful resistance boxes.But the Basque Country is not left alone. The strike at Pilkinton in Saguntobegan yesterday. He has also started a strike at the state-level elevator companyOtis. In Galicia, only a few days ago, the region of La Mariña had anotherregional strike. economy oriented to tourism and hospitality). A few days agothere was a metal strike in the province of Alicante. On the 30th of November wehave another strike of the public administrations in Catalonia and the ValencianCountry and now the health of Madrid is about to explode, the workers of the SADare encamped in Madrid, the Garraf will have to protest by the closing of Mahle,the 061 is still fighting and 8,000 cleaners in Castellón are starting a striketoday.All this is concentrated in a few weeks. The unions are receiving newaffiliations and are opening sections and premises in places that have beenabandoned by the majority unions. They are starting to call for a general strike(true, big words), even on social media.What we are experiencing is a new deindustrialization at the precise moment of aglobal supply crisis. We lack manganese to make aluminum, lines to make cars areparalyzed, transportation complains that they don't have enough workers (andeveryone knows it's because they have deplorable conditions), fertilizerfactories stop, there are problems with uranium and everything indicates a winterof rising prices for all supplies, energy, and finally most basic commodities.This is happening just after a pandemic that has highlighted what exactly theessential jobs that should be protected and the very bad conditions they have toface.That is, the government - and who really controls the economy - have learnedabsolutely nothing and are rowing towards the abyss. What solution are theylooking for for Navantia? So make an aircraft carrier for Turkey, a well-knownhuman rights violator. Everything is "business as usual" and eventually it willbe the working class who will pay for the broken dishes, such as the skyrocketingprice of electricity, future tolls on highways or evictions, our daily bread. Theattitude of the progressive forces that govern demonstrates the exhaustion oftheir political project, unable to repeal the gag law, reform the penal code oreven touch on key points of the PP reform.Clearly we have reached a hot autumn and all the problems come out at once. As astrategic organization, we call for the strengthening of union boards in allterritories, extending them to counties and large cities. We will have toovercome the tactical and personal differences between unions because we have tofight and we will have to do it with guarantees. We notice how several strikes wehave listed before (and others) are run by local unions, unions or coordinatorsand workers 'platforms. This is a product of the erosion of the majority tradeunionism that is eroding more and more and is not at all attractive for those whohave to fight. Clearly, it will be up to these organizations to coordinate aswell, including them in the fighting bloc. Do you want a future? This is builtwith unity in the struggle.Of course we need a broader view, linking labor struggles with that of housing,supplies, or the ecological transition in the context of the climate crisis andthe demands of reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse. Allthis also leads to demanding a series of nationalizations, a relocation ofcompanies necessary to make the transition and an industrial reconversion thatmay be outside the capacity of the current Government but which must begin to bedemanded from trade unionism.For a strong people, some combative unions!Long live the struggle of the working class#TardorCalentahttps://embat.info/les-barricades-auguren-una-tardor-calenta/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
