After 20 years of existence, the Federation of the CNT PTT (postal services workers union) is now forbidden at La Poste (Postal services). The International Committee of the CNT call on all their international partners to organise actions of solidarity on the 23rd of October 2007, the day of syndical elections in the post sector. |
After 20 years of existence, the Federation of the CNT PTT (postal services workers union) is now forbidden at La Poste (Postal services). This is the consequence of an agreement concluded on January 27th 2006 between La Poste management and bosses and Unions which have representativity (CFDT, FO, CFTC, UNSA and CGT). The CGT and SUD, because they refused to vote against this agreement, are allies of La Poste management.
Funny enough this agreement was signed "to facilitate and develop the social dialogue" (while they gagged any opposition!).
Since then, La Poste did not hesitate to sanction a Parisian comrade by giving him 15 days off work (with no wages) because he handed out CNT leaflets at his workplace. In one month another comrade is scheduled to appear at the disciplinary council of La poste and can be fired definitively from his job. Others workers of CNT are threatened.
Behind the CNT, it is class struggle syndicalism being attacked, a syndicalism opposed to restructuring and privatisation. No doubt that this is just a step toward the total censorship of all opposition in all sectors of society. Soon, other public services will be attacked, not to mention the private sector! The only ones to survive will be mainstream unions which will not be opposed to those attacks against workers. But we will not let this happen.
The International Committee of the CNT calls on all their international partners to organise actions of solidarity on the 23rd of October 2007, the day of syndical elections in the post sector.

In solidarity,
International Committee of the CNT |
