Employees - Students - Militants
International Capital is facing with the International Workers Movement worldwide. Our neighbors in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia recently showed the world how to put their knees and sovereign governments. By expanding the fight, we are taking a lesson every minute.
despotic government and retaliation are many ways
In Madison, Wisconsin, the union "The Industrial Workers of the World" (Industrial Workers of the World) is active in a fight against Governor Scott Walker, who served two billionaires-the infamous Koch brothers and employers' interests in general. We believe that nothing short of a general strike can kill Walker law and strengthen the labor movement.
Governor Walker and conservative lawmakers have passed a law that virtually destroy all the public employee unions, fewer firefighters and municipal and state police. In addition, they plan to severely cut medical and welfare programs and reducing the rights of immigrants. Before
that the law is approved, the basis of trade unions and their supporters occupied the Capitol en masse and marched out, the teachers pretended to be sick, the students went on strike and occupied buildings. This is a level of sustained activism for many years not been seen in the U.S.. In addition, the federation of unions of Madison spoke and gave a general strike against all the cuts, putting the idea of \u200b\u200ba general strike in the public debate. This movement had lasted weeks when opposition lawmakers fled the state, to prevent the law was passed.
However, despite the outpouring of support for public workers in Wisconsin, Walker and his supporters found a loophole that allowed parliament to overcome this impasse. There is a strong push to oust the politicians who supported the bill. However, we believe that this course of action will only neutralize the righteous anger of the people. In order to produce real change, we must commit to use force we have as employees: the power to stop working.
Therefore, the IWW are calling a general strike as a first step in combating these austerity measures. Through the unit over our colors we can crush the divisions that weaken us. Through a general strike, workers and students can maximize this movement.
We must show
workers - union or not - the unemployed, and all the people relegated the world, that power lies not in the marble corridors of the Capitol, or in the boardrooms of industry. Through unity and action, our minds and our hearts transit paths of power and resistance.
