SALTA - LAST MOMENT
The
new union bureaucracy of the unemployed movement in action
The
same as D´Elía and Alderete, the PC, Martino and the PO support Mendiguren and
to the employer of the “Frente Productivo
A SCANDALOUS BETRAYAL
to the fight of the heroic
picketers of the North of Salta and of the whole unemployed movement
If the bureaucracy of
D'Elía and Alderete are in the dialogue table with the priests, Mendiguren, the
bankers and the UN, the new union bureaucracy of the unemployed movement of the
calling board of the Asamblea Piquetera last weekend, has just been tested.
Their program is reality today. In Salta, they sat down in a dialogue table
with the intendants and deputies of the murderer governor Romero’s PJ and with
the employer of the Pymes, and they signed the records of the betrayal.
They got undressed as what they are: a union bureaucracy screwed to the
armchair that also works, as Alderete and D'Elía, for Mendiguren and the UIA.
For that reason they attack the labor democracy. They don't want organs of
direct democracy because they want to subordinate to the labor organizations to
the employers.
In their “Asamblea
Piquetera” they didn't let us speak, comrades of the pickets that come from
Mosconi, because we wanted to reject the intervention of the “Hipy” Fernández
that had called to make all the plans for Public Works next to the Pymes and
the Church. They wanted to silence us because we were going to say that the
“Hipi” is just one more businessman than wants to use the enormous energy of
the workers of the Department of General San Martin to became, as businessman,
friend of Mendiguren. Because were going to say in the assembly that our
dead comrades, that our heroic fight, that the workers that we left our life in
the pickets on the road, can not be used to fight for the interests of the
employers. We were going to move the expulsion of the Banco Credicoop, the
repudiation of the speech supporting the Pymes and the murderous government of
Romero. And they kept us silent and they whacked us to take us out of the
assembly. Now, “those who were in the calling board” have to take the
responsibility!
Records
of the betrayal to the service of the employer, negotiated on the blood of our
labor martyrs
We have the records
signed, the records of the betrayal, and we send them to inform the unemployed,
the comrades of the popular assemblies, the workers. At this same moment, when
we are writing you, full of hatred because of this betrayal, the pickets on the
road has just been removed in the Department of General San Martin and it was
made a truce and a pact, the same as the union bureaucracy does, with a sheet
of demands of the employers where it doesn't appears a single demand of the
workers.
As you will be able to
see, apart from committing to remove the pickets on the road, they call to
dissolve the pickets, and to make a strike... with the employers! because there
they are fighting for the interest of the providers companies and of the
regional bourgeoisie of Salta that wants to increase the collection of
royalties from the oil companies. All together, signing a records with to the
intendants of the PJ and the murderer Romero, they are negotiate with the blood
of Aníbal Verón, of Justiniano, of Gómez, of Barrios and of Santillán, and they
want to put our energy, our fight and our pickets, our partners prisoners
beaten in Pocitos, to the service of that the oil companies leave some crumbs
to the employers, and so that the companies providers have exemption of taxes
as it is said in the point 5° of the signed records.
Are Planes Trabajar demanded? Is an insurance of
unemployment of $500 requested? Is the reduction of the workday so that there
is work for all demanded? Is it posed the question of wages increase, as we
demanded, “$2.50 per hour for all of the workers of the construction in the
pickets in December? No. It is signed a records without any demand of the
workers. Because only one of these labor demands that is rose up and the
employers of the Pymes leave. And where an employer speaks, a thousand workers
are quiet. That is the democracy of the new union bureaucracy of the unemployed
movement and of the famous “calling board” of the Assembly of last weekend!
Not a single workers’
demand. And people of the Partido Obrero sign this! They are right the comrades
of Democracia Obrera, we say from the Department of General San Martin: that it
is a party of traitors that administer Planes Trabajar and they want us to stay
in the misery, while they sign exemption of taxes for the employer and
royalties for Romero. Down with the records of the betrayal!
We alert to the comrades
picketers of the Great Buenos Aires not to allow these bureaucrats to use them,
no matter how much they cover their faces with red scarf or put on red makeup:
they also are agents of Duhalde and of Mendiguren. As servants of Duhalde, they
are using us to negotiate that the oil companies don't increase the prices of
gas, and so that they accept to pay a tax to the state that is good to join the
money to pay the debt to the IMF. For that reason, they don't request neither
wage increase, neither the renationalization of the privatized companies,
beginning with Repsol-YPF.
Now we understand why they
buried our labor program of 21 points voted in Mosconi and Tartagal: because it
demanded the renationalization of Repsol-YPF under workers’ control and without
compensation. We won't go to beg to Repsol, to Shell and the other oil octopi.
Those companies have to pass to the hands of the workers. No more begging! They
want to have us as beggars because they work for the employers.
They are the same as the
union bureaucrat Zanola that we have found out that is calling for a strike of
the bank workers.... in the defense of the banker Escasany of the Galicia,
because it is in bankruptcy! But we don't care the bankruptcy of the employers
that never distributed their earnings when they went well. If they fail, it is
their problem, it is not our matter the crashes of the individual employer.
Down with their commercial secrecy! Workers’ control over the whole branch of
oil production and over all the providers! Wage increase for the workers of the
North of Salta! $3 per hour for all! Work for all with worthy wages! Distribute
the working hours! Out the Pymes! Out the oil companies! Out Romero and
Mendiguren! Out the treacherous bureaucrats of the UTD and the organizations of
unemployed of the Department that want to take us as manpower slave of the
Pymes to administer the crumbs of the Planes Trabajar! Down the union
bureaucracy of the unemployed movement!
It is necessary to do as
like the comrades in the second Cutralcazo did, when the picketers that had
come out to fight one year before betrayed, they changed the name to “stokers”.
It will be necessary to change the name of our movement and to lift clean flags
to recover the unemployed movement from the new bureaucracy sold to the state.
Out from the organizations of unemployed those that act as Moyano and Zanola!
“Citizens”,
bullshit!: we are picketers of the North of Salta who don't rid off the program
of the 21 points.
The most scandalous thing
is when they say: “The gathered citizens of the whole Dept. San Martín
express the agreement with the measures adopted (...) and in the convincing
that the unity of ideas and action will bring us to obtain the achievements
that provide us the definitive solution for the different problems that we
suffer”. They Want to impose us unity of ideas and of action with the
employers of the Pymes and the “Frente Productivo”, with the murderer Romero and
the intendants of the PJ, because they work for them that are those that pay
them!
They are today
former-picketers that became “citizens” to the service of the employers and
their parties. We are not: “Citizens”, bullshit! We are picketers of the North
of Salta who don't rid off our labor program of 21 points! And we will go on
fighting for them to be completed, mainly the point that says: “The leaders
that have betrayed the unemployed should be expelled from the organizations and
the workers should considered them as enemies”.
For that reason, we make
an appeal to all the participants of the meeting of February 16th
and 17th to reject the records of the betrayal of their speakers and
of members of their “calling table” like the PC, the PO, Martino and the Hipy
Fernández. That assembly will no longer be able to meet again and to look face
to face the workers that meets in it. We call to those members of the “calling
board” who don't want to endorse the betrayal of most of the leaders to
denounce them openly as what they are: sold bureaucrats, to the service of the
employers.
From the Department of
General San Martin we call to all the unemployed organizations to raise
democratic assemblies and to vote by hand raised to break this treacherous
agreement that hands over us tied hands and foot to the employers and Romero.
We call to the comrades of the UTD of Mosconi, those that we are fighting neck
and neck with, to break with this politics. We call them to retire off their
signature from this records, to ignore this agreement with the employers and to
return to the route, and to lift our program of 21 points again, a true
workers’ program for the unemployed and the workers of Salta and of the whole
country.
We call them and all the
workers of the North of Salta to expel from of our ranks the employers as the
Hipy Fernández, and the Barrazas and other traitors that signed this infamous
agreement. Out the traitors of the labor organizations! That the Congress of
rank and files Delegates of the Department of Gral. San Martin ignores these
records!
We were in the pickets
neck and neck with Justiniano and Gómez, murdered by the gendarmería. We saw
Aníbal Verón, Santillán and Barrios been killed just beside us, under the
bullets of these murderers. The other day in Plaza de Mayo, we listen to Hebe
of Bonafini to say that to the capitulators it is necessary to call them
capitulators, to the traitors, traitors, and to sons of a beach, sons of a
beach. And we found it well. So we tell to all the sold bureaucrats that signed
that infamous records that that is what they are: traitors, sons of a beach!
Down the traitors! Long
life for the workers’ democracy!
Picketers of the North of
Salta who don't rid the workers’ program of the 21 points.
