Este año la Semana contra el Impago de Salarios ha estado acompañada de actividades en al menos 17 países.
Las organizaciones de la AIT informaron sobre ella de diversas maneras: algunas realizaron acciones en las calles, otras se movilizaron y se prepararon para los conflictos, otras compartieron las experiencias de sus conflictos y otras simplemente publicaron y difundieron el comunicado. Evaluemos la Semana de este año.
Evaluación de la segunda Semana Internacional contra el Impago de Salarios
Week_2021_no_lines_IG_en_smallThis year’s “Week” was accompanied by activities in at least 17 countries. IWA organizations informed about the Week in various ways – some took actions in the streets, some mobilized and prepared for conflicts, some shared experience from their conflicts, and some simply published and spread the information the statement. Let’s evaluate this year’s Week.
Evaluation of the second International Week Against Unpaid Wages
We are happy to announce that, as part of the International Week Against Unpaid Wages, we prepared an English version of our pamphlet related to our workplace conflicts between years 2015 and 2019. The publication called "How We Coped with Problems at Work. Conflicts of Priama Akcia Union in 2015-2019" provides a detailed description of conflicts in all their stages. It contains photos from actions, interviews with the workers, leaflets and a short analysis of hospitality sector where most of the conflicts took place.
This was our fastest victory so far. It took just eight days from a collective delivery of a demand letter for the former veterinary hospital worker to receive the money in her account. Same as in our last case in 2019, we succeeded before the conflict went into the public phase, since the boss paid the amount owed within a deadline. We are thankful to all people who came out to support the worker during the letter delivery and wanted to join the planned solidarity campaign! In this article you will find more information about the conflict and an interview with the worker.
Cuando participamos en las huelgas climáticas de 2019, no podíamos imaginar que otras protestas se paralizarían por la pandemia. Y cuando la pandemia llegó, parecía que, con el aparente declive de algunas industrias, el estado del planeta mejoraría, al menos mínimamente. Pero resulta que en realidad estamos peor de lo que pensábamos. Los dos últimos años han confirmado que, si hay alguna esperanza, los cambios necesarios tendrán que abordar las verdaderas causas de los problemas. Y mucho más que tocar.
When we took part in the 2019 climate strikes, we couldn’t imagine that further protests would be paralysed by pandemic. And when the pandemic came, it seemed that, with the apparent decline of some industries some, the state of the planet would improve, at least minimally. But it turns out that we are actually worse off than we thought. The last two years have confirmed that, if there is any hope, the necessary changes will have to address the real causes of the problems. And much more than just touch.
Below you will find an annual recap of our activities during the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parliamentary elections and pandemic-related campaigns, solidarity actions, two new publications on workplace struggles and anarchosyndicalism, International Week Against Unpaid Wages in Slovakia and abroad. And more.
Am Freitag, den 25. bis Sonntag, den 27. Juni 2021 hat das IAA-Plenum und der außerordentliche Kongress stattgefunden. Wegen der Einschränkungen aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie wurden beide Treffen online organisiert und nicht in persona in Bratislava, wie es ursprünglich geplant war. Den meisten der in der IAA Zusammengeschlossenen (Sektionen und FreundInnen) war es möglich teilzunehmen. Da sie online stattgefunden haben, wurden unsere Treffen nicht von repressiven Regimen und Reisevisas behindert.
