WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria, July: Spain - JOINING TRADE UNIONS IS NOT A CRIME (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Six comrades of the CNT of Asturias were sentenced to three and a half

years in prison for defending the rights of an exploited worker, later
also convicted, of the "La Suiza" pastry shop in Gijón. ---- In 2017,
the woman turns to the CNT for help in a situation of abuse, unpaid
overtime, denied holidays, excessive workload during pregnancy up to
risking abortion, misogynistic and sexist attitudes on the part by José
Álvarez Rodríguez, owner of the pastry shop. ---- The union requests a
meeting with the owner of La Suiza to reach an agreement and in the
meantime promotes an information campaign by organizing a series of
principals, gaining the support and solidarity of the neighbourhood.

Although the demonstrations were authorized and the pacifism of the
demonstrators, the political police Brigada de Información began to stop
and identify. Complaints arrive, and after trying to charge about thirty
people, the Falangist judge Lino Rubio Mayo, already known for his
anti-worker sentences, sentences 6 companions, including the worker
herself, to 3 and a half years in prison for coercion and obstruction to
justice and the payment of EUR150,428, declaring the Cnt union civilly
liable.

Meanwhile, the complaint filed by the woman for sexual harassment
against her boss is dismissed for not having attached sufficient evidence.

An unjust and vengeful sentence, which criminalizes anarcho-syndicalism
and an entire social movement which is based on a model of
self-organisation, which engages in decision-making processes and in the
real participation of male and female workers in the workplace, and
which is based on the principles of horizontality, transversality,
solidarity and independence.

An appeal has been presented against the sentence and if it is rejected,
the 6 of La Suiza could go to jail. For this purpose, a support group
was formed and an international appeal was launched to all
anti-authoritarian groups, individuals and unions to show solidarity
with the convicted women, put pressure on the Spanish diplomats present
in the various territories and raise funds to meet the costs legal
(6delasuiza.info).

IMMEDIATE ABSOLUTION FOR THE 6 ANARCHOSYNDACALISTS OF LA SUIZA!
