1. When the block is filled hegemonic proudly mouth to say that the old regime suddenly became democratic, the overnight, miraculously, thanks to the simple alternation of public administration between the conservative right Siamese -nineteenth century the religious and the PRI, neoconservative and neoliberal recycled, "and that elites are suddenly authoritarian transformation in a Republican issue and worthy of respect, however, they themselves have been responsible for impeding real democratization of the established order to maintain the old entrenched despotic practices of the presidential system of co-govern with the same abuses of power in the recent past, unchecked by law, with the absence of rule of law and the same national project economic, social and politically unequal and exclusive.
2. When outside workers, who have been withdrawn in the discussions and the political game because of the lack of representation mechanisms that allow them to defend their interests, the illegitimacy of the leaders who act above and against most the governed, the weakness of unions as a result of unemployment and the fear of it and the lack of formal employment that reduce the number of its members, the loss of independence and ability to negotiate with the kidnapping of their organizations by venal leaders that prey resources and obtain financial gains, shares of power and protection in exchange for their subordination to the corporate structure State contracts and the sale of protection to employers, the repression suffered by workers at the hands of their class enemies above, and change and the arbitrary enforcement of labor laws by the government (the boards of Conciliation and Arbitration The Ministry of Labour, legislators, the Executive, the Court) - the oligarchy, the PRI, the PAN and its congressional allies imposed the neoliberal counter work to legalize the dismantling of constitutional rights in this area began during the salinato will deepen their destruction by the "flexibility" in the labor market and ensure the defeat of the proletariat in relation to businesses, which reduced the role of helpless slaves to the wildest forms of private accumulation of capital, the question arises:
What options are left to the workers to fight for their constitutional rights at work historical and social gains?
In "democratic" countries of the United Kingdom, France, Greece, Portugal and Spain, governed by the right and the "socialist", unions and other sectors of the population have resorted to the mobilization, protest and social violence against authoritarian solutions imposed by the ruling elites to pass on the costs of the crisis of global capitalism, the consolidation of public finances and the reconstruction of the private accumulation of capital: an extra dose of neoliberalism, the greater "flexibility" work, the easy dismissal with lower compensation, cutting nominal wages and benefits, including health services, extension of working hours, reduction of public spending in basic services, pensions and unemployment insurance, among other policies.
in the Maghreb and the Middle East (Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco and Saudi Arabia, among others) society, victims of political despotism, social exclusion and hunger, their spontaneity, lack of organization and a clear plan for the nation, chose the days of anger and social unrest to dispose of satraps and put in check other political regimes, despite the bloody repression that has been submitted.
Mexican workers should not dismiss these experiences. Especially when the first neoliberal condemned to be precarious, poor and miserable, and now want to completely "flexible."
Because the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) , Which was reluctant to support when Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon in his failed attempt to complete the destruction of labor rights, a process initiated by Carlos Salinas and Ernesto Zedillo reversed its position. In his ambition to reconquer the government at any price, he threw the trash its proposal submitted to Congress in December 2010, which was opposed to the initiative Caveman Cave presented by Javier Lozano and preserving diverse labor gains enshrined Article 123 of the Constitution and Federal Labor Law. In its effort to return to the Presidency, for which requires the support of at least a country's real constituents, the PRI is willing to guarantee the oligarchy carrying out their dreams dearly coveted. Has already brought other debris from the nation to predation: incentive contracts in the energy industry and other mechanisms of public-private joint venture and telecommunications, which explains why this group is generously making the presidential candidacy of Enrique Peña Nieto, who will ensure continuity of neoliberal economic and political authoritarianism.
But sighing are several. Others, who hold a hidden war against dolphin, are willing to further sullied. To hold this position, do not hesitate to take the place of Pena in the bed of Procrustes oligarchy. Manlio Fabio Beltrones, with its fiscal counter-proposal, offering more benefits to big business and high income sectors, which would be paid excise taxes for the majority. Francisco Rojas is willing to throw the head workers to pack . In his reculón, the PRI blatantly looted most of the job offer from Lozano-which explains his appreciation to its "priizada" and quarrelsome insults against those who oppose it, calling them "brutally intolerant," "liars," "cowards" ( La Jornada, March 25, 2011) - which was that of the bourgeoisie, with an additional aggravating factor: the most reactionary again thanks to the assistance of the shysters of the Employers Confederation of Mexico and the Business Coordinating Council.
dictator Augusto Pinochet and the Chicago Boys needed murder of Chilean democracy, a dictatorship, bathing in blood to his country, settle and to outlaw the trade union opposition, jailing and killing their leaders to give birth to the neoliberal monster and subjecting workers to labor "flexibility" model that later was copied by other dictators and "Democrats" from the rest of the world. In Mexico, it has only been sufficient to stay the PRI-PAN presidential authoritarianism.
understood what Pinochet and his adherents to neoliberal doctrines of the exported labor "flexibility" that only benefits employers? The replacement of the security and stability in employment on the event, transience and outsourcing, also known as outsourcing and outsourcing - which currently affects at least 70 percent of Chilean workers, the legal relaxation of hygiene and safety at work, the right to arbitrarily change business working hours, lower wages and salaries, pay unequal wages for equal work without benefits; hire strikebreakers when employees claim unemployment will also prevent them from entering their facilities, provide protection and trade unions as may be necessary within their companies to spray the organized strength of workers, the emasculation of the unions and their rights to strike, including Solidarity, the labor authorities favoritism towards entrepreneurs.
¿Qué proponen el PRI-Partido Acción Nacional (PAN)? Son tan creativos como los criminales dictadores y "demócratas" neoliberales. Entre otras propuestas, que seguramente serán aprobadas por esa mayoría del Congreso, destacan la legalización de la trata de esclavos asalariados por medio de la subcontratación de empresas que venden a trabajadores a otras empresas, con menores salarios y prestaciones para trabajos iguales y sin la posibilidad de aspirar a la estabilidad; los contratos temporales de "prueba" y por horas, en condiciones similares a los anteriores; la reducción del tiempo de los juicios laborales, en beneficio de los empresarios respecto de los llamados salarios fallen, which will reduce the dismissal of workers, so now you can throw into the street to the oldest and recruit young meat worse, the permanence of protection contracts and shady business leaders corporate anti-democracy that will guarantee the trade unions, their lack of representativeness, control, fragmentation and limitations on the right to strike, the permanence of the arbitrary and control of workers and their unions before the labor authorities cave in the style of Lozano, who will decide the note-taking and registration of these organizations and their right to strike.
PRI's proposal, which aims to regain the presidency, is simple: to reduce the employees as serfs in the name of productivity, competitiveness and profitability. This return will mean the triumph of oligarchy.
are wrong who say that the PRI proposal is a betrayal of the workers, because that party has always been their historical enemy. Since the establishment of the Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers, just after the Mexican Revolution, led by Luis Morones M, has alienated workers by PRI, its predecessor the National Revolutionary Party (PNR, 1928). The five wolves , Fidel Velazquez, Jesus Yurén Aguilar, Fernando Amilpa, Alfonso Sanchez and Alfonso Quintero, who created the Confederation of Workers of Mexico in 1936 during the government of Lázaro Cárdenas, strengthened corporate submission to transvestite PNR Party of the Mexican Revolution (1938) and in the current PRI (1946). Union thugs like Leonardo Rodriguez Alcaine, Joaquín Gamboa Pascoe, Victor Flores and Elba Esther Gordillo, who sell their crafts to lover in turn, whether the PRI or PAN, have helped to subdue and punish employees to ensure their independent union vassalage to the state and entrepreneurs.
Before the ruling bloc, PRI, PAN, entrepreneurs and other parasitic franchises such as Green and Green Partnership, who strive to keep closed the despotic political regime and impose wage slavery, the proletarians, to defend their rights, even in their weakness, have the historic right to experience what other latitudes: the mobilization, protest, violence, anger, social revolt, whether to impose democracy in Mexico or aspire to a post-capitalist system. No other options were left to destroy the tyrants that tread.
