Below, we present some of the recent struggles of the IP (Inicjatywa Pracownicza – Workers’ Initiative) union from Poland and ask for your support in 2022.

  1. Amazon fires a protected Inicjatywa Pracownicza shop steward. Make Amazon pay for it!

On November 9, 2021 Amazon Poland handed a dismissal notice to Magda Malinowska, who has worked for 6 years at its warehouse in Sady near Poznan. Magda was a union representative and a health and safety inspector elected by the union members.  The dismissal was all the more scandalous because it was carried out against the objections, put in writing, by the trade union, which did not agree with it.  As a health and safety inspector, Magda was involved in the investigation following the death of one of her colleague, who died at his workplace in September 2021.

We believe that the disciplinary sanction against Magda Malinowska is an escalation of Amazon’s anti-union practices of recent months. As a response, on Friday November, 26 – Black Friday which is a day of crazy shopping rush and huge profits for businesses – we blocked a street in the centre of Warsaw, near one of the biggest shopping centres. Our banners read and our throats screamed: BRING BACK MAGDA TO WORK! and MAKE AMAZON PAY! Make them pay for the deaths of our colleagues in the workplace! Make them pay for union busting and illegal dismissal! Make them pay for the exploitation of workers and the destruction of our health! Make them pay for the destruction of the planet and for tax evasion on an exorbitant scale!

  1. Collective bargaining at Cooper Standard

Cooper Standard Automotive is a global corporation. The 60-year-old company manufactures automotive equipment components. It is headquartered in Northville, Michigan, but has spread its wings internationally in search of cheaper labour. It now employs 32,000 people in 20 countries around the world.

In July 2020, a workplace section of the IP was established at the Myślenice factory. The unionists began collecting signatures in defence of their dismissed colleagues. They managed to collect 200 signatures. As a result, instead of 10 people, the company only parted with two. Next, the committee began negotiations on pay rises which are still in the process. The picket line in front of the Cooper Standard’s factory in Myślenice was organised to put pressure on the employer.

  1. Collective bargaining at Jeremias

Jeremias in Gniezno is, as it describes itself, “a leading manufacturer of chimney systems in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors”. It is a division of a group of companies based in Germany. At the same time, Jeremias is one of the largest employers on the Gniezno labour market. It employs a total of around 600 people, 400 of them in production and warehouses. Half of them are women. About 190 employees are of Ukrainian origin and are employed through temporary work agencies.

IP workplace section was established at Jeremias in February 2021. Previous attempts to establish a union organisation at the plant had failed. This time, however, a large number of people joined the union immediately and the committee began to operate vigorously. Within 10 months, IP managed to build a strong union organisation and go through a collective bargaining process that ended with a significant pay rise.

  1. Union-busting and repressions at Pedagogical University in Krakow

IP workplace section at the Pedagogical University in Krakow was established in June 2021 as a response to mass layoffs and “restructuring” announced by the university authorities. As for December 2021, five representatives of the IP have been fired for criticizing University’s employment policy, for organizing protests against layoffs and union busting and for talking to the media about it. It is a handbook example of union busting and an attack on workers’ self-organizing. The union is not giving up, the protests at the university will be continued and the fired union members will also fight for being brought back in the courts. They receive support from other IP university sections and from other sections in Krakow.

  1. Protests in culture and higher education

Due to high inflation rate and austerity politics in the public sector in Poland our workplace sections in Culture and Higher Education organised picket lines demanding wage indexation and stable working conditions.

On December 6, 2021, a protest of cultural workers took place in front of the headquarters of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in Warsaw. The picket was attended by members of the IP sections at the POLIN – Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Filmoteka Narodowa – Audiovisual Institute and the Zachęta – National Art Gallery. Cultural workers demanded decent wages and working conditions, because they do not agree that the Polish government cares only  about and invests only in the so called law enforcement (army, police and the border guards), ignoring other professional groups from the public sector.

  • More info (in Polish): https://www.ozzip.pl/informacje/mazowieckie/item/2843-pelna-kultura-protest-instytucji-kultury

On December 20, 2021, protest actions by employees of higher education were held across Poland. The protests were organised by the Polish Teachers’ Union, but sections of the IP took an active part in the actions in Warsaw,  Kraków and Wrocław. The reason for the protests was the government’s failure to fulfil promised pay rises. The protesters demanded that “the terms of funding for universities and research institutes in 2022 be aligned with the actual cost of living in the country”. 

  • More info (in Polish only): https://www.ozzip.pl/informacje/ogolnopolskie/item/2850-szkolnictwo-wyzsze-domaga-sie-realnych-podwyzek

Both protests are just a beginning of a broader campaign on workers’ rights and the conditions of work in art, culture, education and research. 

  1. Migrant care-workers fight for their rights

In October 2021 we were joined by the Domestic Workers’ Committee, Poland’s first union structure for domestic workers, made up entirely of Ukrainian migrant women. It is Ukrainian women who come to Poland most often to work as child, elderly or disabled people caregivers.

The lack of regulations on domestic work and care for seniors, the differences in wages in Poland and Ukraine and the crisis of care in Poland are massively exploited by employment agencies. Some of them operate in Poland, others in Ukraine. Members of the union complain that the agencies do not in any way protect their interests – they do not guarantee them legal employment, sometimes even the residence permit. Contracts are often signed only with employers. However, the aim of the trade union is not only to fight against exploitation by temporary employment agencies or to put pressure on individual employers. According to the domestic workers, campaigns aimed at state and local authorities are necessary.

CALL FOR DONATIONS

The situations mentioned above are only a part of our daily activity and a top of an iceberg of workplace struggles and repressions against workers’ self-organization. Reacting to the conflicts at workplaces (which often erupt unexpectedly) and to support those on strike, requires money. They are needed for: preparing and distributing information materials, travel costs or hiring the lawyers. We do not receive any subsidies from the state or the employers and we want to be there, where the struggle goes on. In order to support those who resist, we need your support so that our actions are more effective.

We ask for your donations! Even small amounts count! Together, we are stronger!

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.
