(en) Sixteenth Congress of the Spanish CGT/LE
Date
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:10:51 +0300
The following report about the recent 16 Congress of the Spanish CGT is from the French
anarchosyndicalist CNT (CNT Vignoles). The Spanish CGT is far and away the largest
anarchosyndicalist union federation in the world today. There is also a link to a recent
interview with Jacinto Caecero, the present confederal secretary of the CGT. -- XVIth
Congress of the Spanish CGT: Build the general strike!: Thursday 18 June 2009, S.I.
Our comrades in the Spanish CGT held their sixteenth Confederal Congress on the first
weekend in June, in Malaga. On this occasion, representatives from the CNT-es were present
as well as militants from other anarcho-syndicalistorganizations: IWW (Great Britain),
Workers Initiative (Poland), USI (Italy), SAC (Sweden).
Overall, the GGT follows the line of union development strategy that began in 2001 at the
Congress of Valladolid. One can also note that the number of unions in Malaga (160 unions
of which 105 attended the conference represented by 400 delegates) was up from the
previous Congress.
Beyond the structural motions, three main topics were covered with all the gravity and the
attention of delegates: prostitution and the possible unionization of sex workers , the
minimum wage and the future prospects of strengthening the Confederation .
The CGT is now taken seriously. With almost 60,000 members , it has a real ability to
mobilize for action, initiating strikes and winning as was the case in 2008, for example,
in the cleaning sector (Madrid) or in transport ( Barcelona buses).
In these times of crisis, the CGT totally promised to make every effort to move towards a
general strike in order to fear changes camps and also to "make the rich and the
bankers.pay" Hortensia and Jeremiah for the SI of the CNT.
--------------------------
"We must escape the siren song of capitalism" In an interview he gave to the newspaper of
the CGT, Rojo y negro, Jacinto Caecero, Confederal Secretary, reviews the campaign carried
out by the CGT against the capitalist crisis and its disastrous effects in Spain with its
attendant redundancies mass and an unemployment rate near 20% which continues to grow.
