 On June 25, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) returns to the streets of

Valencia with a joint call for alternative trade unionism in Plaza del Temple
"against the reforms that make the working class more precarious." ---- CGT
together with the alternative trade unionism of Valencia (CNT, COS and
Intersindical Valenciana) calls for a rally in Plaza del Temple on June 25
"against the reforms that make the working class precarious" and emphasizes three
demands such as "the complete repeal of the labor reforms of 2010 and 2012,
against the cost of living and the general rise in prices and the opposition to
the income pact that aims to contain salary and pension increases."

The anarcho-syndicalist organization affirms that "the so-called labor reform
approved in February hides a reality that no one dares to deny, not even the
financial powers, the right-wing and the bosses, and that is the fact that we are
facing a consolidation of the most harmful aspects of the labor reforms of 2010
and 2012, processed in the midst of the financial crisis, with which important
rights won with great struggles by workers were taken away." From CGT they
contemplate that this labor reform is "a fraud for the aspirations and needs of
the working class and, its acceptance, one more betrayal of the official unions
of the 78 regime that for decades have been signing different agreements that
present workers and the workers as if they were necessary steps to improve
productivity, competitiveness and, always later, achieve supposed salary
improvements, promotion of stable employment and other promises that are never
fulfilled".

In addition, CGT considers that "to this nonsense, we must add the situation of
uncertainty that we are suffering as a result of international geopolitical
tensions, which the working class always ends up paying with their living
conditions and with their own lives and which are always taken advantage of by
the factual powers to speculate and obtain huge profits to the detriment of the
conditions of existence of the majority of the world population". According to
the anarcho-syndicalist organization "the current high cost of living in the
Spanish State supposes a serious impoverishment of the population that will end
up consolidating forever, the escalation of prices, that is, they will never
return to previous levels and will only serve to increase obscenely the profits
of the big companies, the multinationals and the energy oligopolies and now, the
arms industry".


To all this, the CGT adds its concern about the so-called Income Pact "whose main
basis is the containment of wages and pensions, in a new attempt to make the
consequences of the crisis fall on the working class, calling us to
responsibility, while the economic powers increase profits and the light tax
pressure on large fortunes and corporate capital gains embarrasses us as a society".
