#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #CATALONIA #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) cgt catalunya: Thousands take to the streets against labor reform (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

 The first mass protest in Catalonia against the labor reform that will be voted

on February 3 in the Congress of Deputies, convened by the Trade Union Board.
---- The demonstrations in Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida and Sabadell are the
starting point for the opposition of the militant unions to the consolidation of
the labor cuts of the governments of Zapatero and Rajoy that supposes the labor
reform promoted by Yolanda Díaz with the support from the CEOE, CCOO and UGT.
  This Saturday, January 29, Catalonia has experienced the first day of mass
protests against the labor reform agreed by the Spanish government, CCOO and UGT
and the employer CEOE on December 28. Convened by the Taula Sindical de
Catalunya, today is the start of a mobilization of combative trade unionism
against this new labor reform which, far from repealing them, consolidates the
main measures of the labor reforms of 2010 and 2012, under the governments of
Rodríguez Zapatero and Mariano Rajoy.

The main mobilization took place in Barcelona, where more than 3,000 people took
part in the demonstration that took place between the Jardinets de Gràcia and the
headquarters of the employer Foment del Treball. The demonstration started after
the arrival of several columns from the Baix Llobregat and Santa Coloma.

In a combative atmosphere, the demonstration went through Pau Claris, Via
Laietana to the headquarters of the employer Foment de Treball, amid shouts and
slogans contrary to the docility of CCOO and UGT and some parties who have lied
to their electorate.

There have also been demonstrations in Sabadell, Tarragona and Lleida. Hundreds
of people have denounced the fake repeal of labor reform and, in the case of
Lleida, have proceeded to burn several boxes symbolizing the effects that labor
reform has generated among the working class.

The day of mobilizations was convened by the Catalan Trade Union Board, formed by
the unions Confederació General del Treball (CGT) de Catalunya, Intersindical
Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC), Confederació Nacional del Treball (CNT),
Coordinadora Obrera Sindical (COS), Workers 'Solidarity (SO) and Basic Workers'
Commissions (Cobas), which is consolidating through various mobilizations in
recent months (March health strike, October and November temporary strikes) as
the union alternative to the CCOO-binomial UGT. It has had the support of the
housing movement, pensioners' groups, the various libertarian organizations in
Catalonia, the pro-independence left, etc.

The mobilizations will continue in the coming days and months. Last Thursday, the
different unions of the Trade Union Board made public their commitment to
maintain the mobilization in the coming months against this scam by the Spanish
government, which far from fulfilling its promise to repeal the latest labor
reform, validation. The next appointment will be this Thursday, February 3 at 7 p.m.
