From December 2 to 8, professional elections were organized in the public
service. Despite the debauchery of propaganda poured out by the state and theunions to encourage us to vote electronically, abstention is largely in themajority with 56.3% overall and has even experienced record highs in the hospitalpublic service with 62% abstention. and even peaks at 80% in hospitals in theParis region. ---- This massive abstention demonstrates a massive rejection ofthe circus of trade union organizations. Nevertheless, it remains to collectivelyinvent new forms of mobilization and collective action to face the social stormthat is looming, between inflation, pension reform and the budgetary crisis ofthe State which will attack everyone even more harshly. public services. Theactivists of the CNT-AIT remain open to all proposals and initiatives... SummaryElections and instances wastesBuild a necessary (...)For several weeks, we have been inundated with countless emails - and evensometimes letters - relating to the organization of professional elections.Curiously, the administration, which has no money to deal with our dailyemergencies, has no financial worries for the preparation and organization ofthis "internet survey". From the outset, let's be clear, at the CNT-AIT, we do not want your ballot: ourunion has chosen not to participate in any election, without exception. Elections and bodies waste and channel precious energyManagement has nothing to do with instances, at worst, they sit on it, at best,they take it as a formality, a checkbox on the "social dialogue" form. It isenough to read the report of the colleagues who sit in the bodies to see the lowinterest in sitting there. The administration imposes its views and electedofficials can only see their powerlessness. At best, the administration givesthem the "first" information that could also be addressed directly to the agents.We could have the best elected officials in the world present in the instancesthat we would not change anything. Worse, the state seeks to use the authoritiesto channel discontent and neutralize, even delegitimize, any collective protestaction.Not to mention that with the elections and the professionalization of tradeunionism, a caste of professional trade union officials has sometimes beencreated who divert their mandate for their purely personal interest...The December 2022 vote will please some for a few hours, maybe a few days. Butafter? Afterwards, we will come back to the same point, because our managementswill only change their policy, their ways of doing things if we force them to. Build a necessary and legitimate balance of powerAs agents, we defend a public service at the service of workers and users. Ourhierarchs, every day, demonstrate that they are the gravediggers. Therefore, howcould we believe in a hypothetical "social dialogue"?Our ability to change things, to counter the projects of our boss - who is theState - and of its representatives, lies elsewhere than in the authorities. Onlythe balance of power on the ground and solidarity between workers - whatevertheir status - can achieve real progress.It is in the services, on a daily basis, that we need strong and solidcollectives, organized into autonomous assemblies. We do not suggest that youvote, but to be active and imaginative in the modalities of action: verbalprotests, petitions, walkouts, strikes, rallies, occupations, etc.Given what the government is preparing for us on pensions, it is urgent that wemeet to discuss it and prepare to respond. Bringing workers together incollectives to defend their interests, independently of political organizations,seems urgent to us.Our anarchosyndicalist organization, the CNT-AIT, supports autonomous andsovereign assemblies of struggle, direct action and struggle in the perspectiveof an emancipatory project. From now on, the principles of self-management,rotation of mandates, direct democracy and equality are applied.Boycott the elections.But let's organize and fight!Interested in continuing the discussion?Contact us: CNT-AIT 7, rue St Rémésy 31000 TOULOUSEcontact@cnt-ait.infohttp://cnt-ait.infoTo go deeper:PROFESSIONAL ELECTIONS AGAINST TRADE UNIONShttp://cnt-ait.info/2020/09/24/les-elections-professionnelles-contre-le-syndicalisme/ANARCHOSYNDICALISM AND REPRESENTATIVENESShttp://cnt-ait.info/2020/09/21/representativity-and-visibility/REPRESENTATIVE AND VISIBILITYhttp://cnt-ait.info/2020/09/21/representativity-and-visibility/PROFESSIONAL ELECTIONS AGAINST SOCIAL STRUGGLEShttp://cnt-ait.info/2020/09/14/les-elections-professionnelles-contre-les-luttes-sociales/http://cntaittoulouse.lautre.net/spip.php?article1287_________________________________________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
