Proposal
general strike of workers for the rights of immigrants. October 29, 2010.
Italian workers and workers / e.
Delegates RSU, RSA.
At the top of the CGIL
comrades and leaders of grassroots unions.
Immigrants / and in Italy.
By now we got the idea that fighting for the rights of workers immigrant is to fight for the rights of Italian workers themselves.
The bosses have used the immigrant workforce as blackmail to hit your rights, acquired through years of struggle and organization.
immigration laws enacted to date have not been more than ad hoc rules blackmail by the owners for them to adjust the labor market, where the "residence contract" is nothing but the basis for this legalized blackmail.
Turkish-Napolitano law, the basis of subsequent Bossi-Fini, inaugurated the series of "read-blackmail," laws that have made it increasingly difficult for our stay in this country, freezing wages and worsening our working conditions, of course, to the detriment of the safety and rights.
Then came the "security package" that has come full circle, criminalizing undocumented workers permanently.
The owners want the insecurity for all, want to clear the rights and outsource production overseas, and governments are merely managers of the general interests of big powers.
The laws of the past two decades have destroyed the pension system, social security and the contract: contracts co.co.co. are just one of the inventions that broke and got the job security concessions to the detriment of the INPS.
The problem is that now it's time to pay the bills.
is that the accounts of the global crisis of capitalism, they want to charge us.
Italian workers and immigrants. -.-
struggles lately do not pay, do not change a comma of the laws that contest, do not change the decision of the Italian government and less than ever.
But this also because, until now, the struggles have not been uniform.
The divisions are not only favors the power that it does everything possible to divide workers. -.-
However, against this tendency to division, something has already been done and you can do.
For example, we review the associations of migrant workers have argued together with the anti-racist organizations, although limited to a few themes have been uniform: Oct. 17, 2009, based on a shared platform, the CGIL unions marched together at the base, and associations of immigrants.
8 to 10 January 2010, the immigrant laborers Rosarno responded with dignity to the exploitation (including the Camorra), showing us all that in reality the unity and struggle instruments are always within reach of the workers against capital.
On March 1, 2010, the famous "Day Without Immigrants" was born on facebook, an initiative that was likely to be just another manifestation folckloristica, thanks to the joint participation of immigrants and Italians united to vindicate the rights of all, has turned it into an important day of struggle: factories stopped at Brescia, social strike in dozens of cities, strike of the purchases, shutters closed and the children at home.
-.-
We believe there are conditions to fight together, and Italian immigrants, and we do not think anybody really believe the story more Berlusca-Bossiana to hunt foreigners. We do not want to believe. We are ready to fight for the right to housing, employment, health, education for all. We are willing to take ALL the popular amnesty for unpaid bills for gas, electricity and water, as for the fines on buses, trams and metro. -.-
offer the date of October 29, 2010, for a STRIKE ALL FOR THE RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT WORKERS.
Of course we do not believe they have the capacity to convene their own. This open letter
wants to understand the urgency of our critical condition in Italy, the suffering of our brothers and sisters still without a residence permit, and the need to bring home some real results.
Individuamo therefore the following points, as the platform of struggle:
a residence permit .- (Waiting employment) for those who made the request in the "amnesty scam" as domestic helpers and caregivers.
2 .- Extension of residence permit, for people who lost their jobs or not longer qualifies as a consequence of the economic crisis.
3 .- Implementation of Directive 2009/52/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 June 2009, P / Living for those who report the employer in black or a condition of over-exploitation.
4 .- Creation of a law guaranteeing the right of asylum, based on Art. 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and art. 1 of the Geneva Convention on Refugees, wiping out the rejections at sea and bilateral agreements with expulsion.
5 .- Right to vote immigrant living legally in Italy for over 5 years.
6 .- Right to citizenship for those born or raised in Italy.
Unity is strength, the rights of our struggle
