The Muiños City Council denied vacations to the Supramunicipal Emergency Group (GES) worker on the same day it began - Given the lack of
organization of the City Council, the worker still could not enjoy his corresponding rest ---- The Court obliges the City Council to allow
vacations in the second week of September as requested by the CNT ---- After the victory achieved by the union section in front of the City
Council to obtain the fixation of the workers of the Supramunicipal Emergency Group (GES) of the Muiños City Council, this time, the claim
is made for vacations. The member of the CNT began his vacation during the second half of August. However, once his 24-hour shift was over,
the foreman informed him of the impossibility of enjoying them due to the absence of a colleague. Taking into account that this loss
occurred more than 2 months ago, the lack of organization within the group on the part of the foreman and the mayor of the City Council
cannot have a negative impact on the working conditions of the rest of the team's personnel.

The CNT filed a lawsuit demanding the enjoyment of said rest season and the pertinent compensation for the damages caused to the worker. The
judge upheld the vacation request and determined the period of enjoyment for the dates indicated by the union member. In this way, the GES
worker will be able to enjoy their corresponding rest period the second week of September.

This situation of violation of rights with respect to vacations begins to be common after the Sanitary Emergency situation experienced and
it is especially important to report it. It is not admissible that the lack of organization or the renunciation of the execution of
temporary contracts to replace leave or vacations have an impact on an increase in the hours worked by the rest of the service personnel.
Administrations, public and private companies have the appropriate tools so that the rest time agreed with the workers is respected.

Cargill workers' -who were fired 2,5 years ago on the pretext that they joined to a union - struggle is ongoing for 887 days. Cargill
workers were in front of Unilever Inc., one of the clients of Cargill, local head office in Ümraniye District. It is stated that, during the
demonstration which our comrades from Youth Workers Association (GIDER) have attended too, struggle and resistance will last until fired
workers are back to work.

The coronavirus has powerfully exposed the flaws of capitalism and the state. But would a libertarian communist society have done better ?
Would she have been more resilient ? We can answer yes, 90%. And wonder about the remaining 10%. ---- The undeniable assets ---- Prevent the
start of the epidemic. Capitalism, by pushing for deforestation, intensive animal husbandry and the destruction of natural habitats,
increases the risks of transmission of a pathogenic agent from wildlife to livestock, then to the human population [1]. An ecological
society would greatly reduce this risk. We must begin by recalling this. ---- If, despite everything, a virus spreads, the alert and
containment must intervene as quickly as possible. And, from this point of view, political transparency would be much more effective than
opacity. In a self-management system, there can certainly be negligence, at the level of a service, a laboratory or an organization, which
delays the detection of the danger. But there is no bureaucracy having an interest in covering up the problem, as was the case in Wuhan when
the Chinese regional authorities wanted to gag whistleblowers[2].

Finally, in a libertarian communist society, aiming for productive autonomy, intercontinental trade in goods would be drastically reduced -
as well as, hopefully, the mass tourism industry. The epidemic would therefore be more easily confined to one region ; globalized capitalism
has turned it into a pandemic.

Absorb the shock. If it were not subject to the law of the market, the hospital system would be more robust: no understaffing, a fine
territorial network, reserves of beds, masks, etc. And when you have the means to face an epidemic, there is no need to lie ("masks are
useless") to hide shortcomings. In the event of a deficiency, productive autonomy would make it possible to urgently accelerate the
manufacture of masks, tests, respirators, etc. and distribute them as needed: massively and free of charge.

If work were not a commodity, but based on social utility, there would be no problem in compensating, with well-deserved leave, for the
extra work demanded of "front-line" workers. Especially since the working time would be, at the base, better distributed: without
unemployment, less working hours per person, therefore less exhaustion.

Without an employer class to hinder the stopping of non-essential activities, no sabotage of the collective effort, or crisis profiteers (a
third of employees declared in partial unemployment have in fact worked while their bosses pocketed public aid) [3].

If housing was not a commodity but a public service, housing would be allocated according to the size of families and proximity to work and
home. This implies confinements in much less overcrowded spaces ; and for those who have to work, shorter trips and therefore less risky.

Fight the virus. About a hundred programs are working in silos on a vaccine against the coronavirus. If the pharmaceutical industry were
socialized, cooperation would replace competition. Medicines would no longer be a patented commodity, but a common good produced according
to its social utility. Research could thus be geared towards the long term, rather than focusing on exploiting profitable segments. The
discovery of a cure would thus be much faster.

The questions
Speed of decision ? If, to curb an epidemic, it is necessary to go through drastic containment measures (quarantine, containment, suspension
of traffic ...) the question of when they are decided is crucial. Every day lost can have serious consequences. The difficulty, from a
democratic point of view, is that they must be decreed sufficiently early, that is to say in a phase where the crisis is not yet perceptible
by the greatest number, and therefore where the population is supposed to trust an epidemiological watch body authorized to issue the alert.

In a federalist and self-managing society, how would this alert be received ? With attention, indifference, suspicion ? Would the bodies
mandated at the regional or federal level have the necessary moral authority to decree confinement on the basis of a scientific alert,
without having it approved beforehand by the population ? What would happen if the population were divided, one part choosing the
discipline, and another the opposite choice ? Should there be coercive measures ? Indeed, confinement is, like vaccination, a collective
protection measure, which only makes sense if it is applied collectively.

The right level ? More generally, in a federalist society, the question would arise of the territorial level having to decree these
measures. What if, for example, most regions followed the recommendations of the epidemiological watch body, but one or two regions, for
specific reasons, took their time to think ? The federal level would seem a priori more suitable to guarantee coherent collective
protection... but it is not infallible either.

The relationship to science ? These questions raise more generally the question of the relationship that society can have with the
scientific authority. Libertarian Communists do not want a government or self-government based on so-called scientific authority. Science
must be able to be discussed, debated. Any anti-scientific, denial, and conspiratorial views expressed should be circumscribed not by legal
prohibition, of course, but by rational argument and scientific consensus.

However, it is reasonable to think that, in a society free from capitalist lobbies, scientists could not be suspected of serving special
interests. Deprived of a material basis, conspiracy would recede. Alerts launched by an epidemiological watch body could be received with
confidence, and the self-discipline of the population would be even stronger than what can be observed during the current crisis.

SOLIDARITY IN AGAINST STATE REPRESSION ---- The SE BIO.ME as of February 12, 2013 is the only occupied self-managed factory in Greece. The
workers of the Industrial Mining decided to defy the orders of the state and the capital and chose the path of the struggle, proceeding to
occupy the factory. The main axes on which the project of BIO.ME was built was, is and will be the threefold
self-management-self-management-self-organization. By producing natural and organic cleaning and hygiene products, they highlight a
different form of organization of the production process by the workers themselves, which of course is not at all in the interests of the
economic elites and the state policies of impoverishment of the class base.
In a period of general repression where the state hits the most promotional part of the struggle, namely the anarchists and their
structures. He continues unabated, moving on to another movement where he shows us that his priority, which is none other than to protect
capital at all costs, while suppressing every social and class struggle. The pandemic is not a phenomenon that belongs to the past, we see
cases rise every day, but it is an opportunity for the state to pass criminal-type bills.

The basic policy of the state mechanism at all levels is strict repression. Where society reacts to the plans of the rulers, the answer
comes immediately in the form of MAT, DIAS and the entire ELAS gang, always with the support of their bosses and tsatsos. In Volos, where
residents and activists protested against the burning of garbage by AGET-Lafarge, together with the residents of Stagiata who are fighting
against the privatization of water, that is, people who are protesting for their survival, the police forces attacked families with fury ,
people of all ages and the disabled, resulting in many injuries, extraditions and the arrest of a partner. On Thursday, June 11, the police
stopped without any reason the invited march of workers and unemployed in Korydallos, which had as its central slogan the workers not to pay
for the pandemic, and 46 arrests of comrades followed, as an attempt to intimidate them. Following all this, and after the passing of the
law against the demonstrations, comes the evacuation of the Terra Incognita occupation and the invasion of the Libertatia occupation which
leads to the arrest of 12 comrades. Two weeks later, the occupation of Rosa Nera in Chania is evacuated. The center of repression has always
been and will always be anything that tries to break the monologue of the state and fights against all forms of power and exploitation.

We, in turn, as anarchists, remind the bastards of the state and the police that we will defend every outbreak of struggle, politically and
in practice, from the political and housing squatters, to the occupied factory of VIOME, we will fight for the land. and freedom in Volos,
Agrafa and wherever needed, as we have always done.

DOWN HANDS FROM BIO.WITH
NO STEP BACK,
SOCIETY WILL BE ABLE
TO BLOCK THE BUSINESS AUCTION OF BIO.ME.
EVERYONE IN THE COURTS 24/9, 1/10, 8/10, 5/11

Many workers are being asked to work in unsafe environments. Many more will be asked to do so as they return to work over the coming days
and weeks. ---- The No Safety, No Work campaign has been launched. This is a campaign to be led by workers trying to keep themselves and
others safe at work in the time of Covid 19. We know that the working class cannot rely on employers or the government to keep us safe. ----
Tens of thousands of people have died in this pandemic, and even more are killed in the work place every year. None of these deaths were
inevitable but were the results of the greed of the bosses and the rulers of our society. As more and more people are returning to work, the
government has not passed a single law guaranteeing workers safety but has issued guidance to employers. This is not enough to keep us safe.

The campaign is supported by the following groups and organisations (in alphabetical order)

Anarchist Communist Group

Angry Workers of the World

Haringey Solidarity Group

Let's Get Rooted

Organise!- Ireland

Punks Against Sweatshops

Revolutionary Anarchist Group-Birmingham

A new mass demonstration in the center of Thessaloniki took place on Monday afternoon on the occasion of the murder of the social activist
Zak Costopoulos (Zackie Oh!) By furious fascists (see "shopkeepers") and cops in Omonia at noon. The march was attended by almost 1000
people (about 300 of them with the APO bloc) who three days after the massive demonstration for Pavlos Fyssas and just one after the release
of the last 13 arrested by the 51 anti-fascists showed that the movement in city has both volume and pulse and endurance, to cope with the
dirty war that the state has unleashed against its structures and people. The demonstration took place in front of the White Tower section,
demonstrating the role of the police in both the murder of Jacques,

THEY HATE THE IMMIGRANTS, THE MAN, THE "OTHER" AND THEN ZAC PRESSES POVERTY ON THE HEAD

POVERTY AND CANNIBALIS THIS IS THE STATE AND CAPITALISM

Nobody forgets Jacques, Paul, Sahzat, Petrit. Fascism in all its forms is crushed in the streets by the world of struggle, which continues
and will win.
