(en) Brazil, FARJ -Solidarity with all the workers and the road workers! (pt)

We express our solidarity with the workers and road workers / those of Rio de Janeiro on 
strike! The strike of these comrades is fair and is a result of the brutal exploitation of 
entrepreneurs (capitalists) Branch Shipping! ---- The brutal concentration of capital 
favors only few families who monopolize and exploit economically the public transport 
service. Are these capitalists who finance political campaigns, elect their bench 
politicians in the Legislative Assembly and are pushing for the increased exploitation of 
the worker! ---- Workers are required to meet strenuous working hours without access to a 
working minimal structure (missing bathrooms, lack of local supply, suffer daily violence, 
bullying etc..), Are obliged to carry dual function, driver-collector, and assigned a 
value of feed that covers neither the most basic needs!

Rather than tell the bourgeois media, always allied to the bosses, the strike did not 
affect the worker. The strike is the instrument DEFENSE worker against bosses, police, 
politicians and all those facing side of the oppressors! Many workers' gains were the 
result of the strikes made by different categories.

The strike of the road, as well as the Garis, also showed how we can expect nothing of 
union scabs, always linked to the bosses and politicians! We need to rebuild an autonomous 
union alternative, which expel by force base, the scabs of the unions and end the 
structure that links the state to the union! The unions argue that is the basis of trade 
unionism, where the union is a result of the decisions of the whole category, not bureaucrats!

A trade union linked to the state just encourages the repression of the government and 
employers. With a basic unionism, combative and autonomous, employers may not engage 
pressures by bourgeois justice and the fight reaches another level of coping. This became 
clear in the bold performance of road and highway, which picketed the door of the garage, 
stopped buses driven by scabs and are performing successive demonstrations to claim their 
rights.

However, this can strike upsurge is even more necessary to articulate the different 
categories of workers (union, the countryside, slums etc.) to be able to overcome 
corporatism and prevent the government and the bosses Slaughter categories separately. To 
claim the rights that FIFA, the PT government and the capitalists insist on trampling need 
to strengthen popular and trade union struggle! And the strike of rail and road is just 
the beginning!

Protesting is not a crime!
Strike is not a crime! Strike is the right of workers and employees!
Fighting, create, popular power!
