Paty: boss lock-out to dismiss the workers and then re-hire contracted
to increase their super profits
In defense of their job position, workers settle inside the factory
The transnational company Quickfood/BFR made huge profit around the world. It has front man in Brazil and from Argentina exports the best meat and with high prices in the national and international market gets huge profits. It has a factory in Mato Grosso, getting advantages of not paying taxes and explodes slave workers. We are facing a company valued at 12.500 MILLION OF DOLLARS at world market. In 2013, with the exportation around the world, the company increases its profit at 432% compare to 2012! It exports to USA and Japan. It controls the Brazilian and Latin American market. In the Pacific and Middle East has the biggest exportations. It is necessary to open de account entries of this transnational company to show that the only one who wants to blackmail the workers and smash the workers conquers to keep increasing its super profits! They want to be the starting point to defeat the most militant Argentinean vanguard working class. Enough of super-profit for the bosses and the transnational companies and plundering the nation! Enough of starving and dismissing for the workers!
The Argentinean government has millions of dollars for Paris Club, the vulture funds and for the workers retrenchments, jail and income tax (tax to the wages)! The bosses concentrate their forces to defeat sector per sector the most militant Argentinean working class, while the union bureaucracy have sold out the fight for a general strike on April 10 to the right wing politicians from the opposition and the government, and have divided each of our fights. In SMATA, with the strike breakers commission the bureaucracy has defended the retrenchments and dismissals that the car industry imposed. In all the unions and fights they behaved as policemen within the worker movement, caring the bosses Enough of union bureaucracy! Open the road to the ones fighting! We reproduce the statements and press release of the workers of Paty who are occupying the factory before bosses lock-out, defending their jobs. From the occupied factory defending their jobs Press release N 4 of the workers of Paty (QUICKFOOD/BRF) June 16th, 2014. Martinez, Buenos Aires 9:30 a.m.
Workers of Paty occupying the factory in en Martinez The bosses of Paty want to steal the bread of 250 families with a lockout. In the mean time, the bosses of the car industry suspend and dismiss thousands of workers. They pay miserable wages in every union and make us work harder than ever. In the meat processing plants there are workers who do not receive 100% of their wages and are losing conquers every day. In the last 3 years in the meat industry there has been 20 thousand workers. The bosses of the meat industry, cars and spare parts say that they are in crisis. That is a lie. They have great profits and many bills; and workers just receive some coins. They want slave workers. We cannot allow it. We want to thank the presence of shop stewards and shop steward commissions of the area, and also the presence of MP Christian Castillo (who belongs to Left and Workers Front FIT) who have came here to support us. We want to thank the shop stewards of the meat processing plant Rio Platense who held an assembly in the factory to inform our situation. We also want to thank the presence of the comrades of SUTEBA (teachers union) Escobar who went to different schools asking for support. In order to unify all struggles, we call all unions, shop steward commissions and militant students federations at the factorys gates at 5 pm to do an Assembly to discuss altogether how we face the dismissals and suspensions; how we face the fake collective bargains signed by the union bureaucracy; how we do to re-hire the workers dismissed in Gestamp; how we end with outsourced jobs; how we fight for decent jobs for all unemployed workers; how we release the political prisoners like the comrades of Corral de Bustos, Esteche and Lescano; and how we conquered the acquittal of the oil workers of Las Heras. We also call the Meat Industry Union of Capital led by Molina and the National Federation led by Fantini to call a General Assembly of the entire union in Paty and to go on strikes all the meat processing plants now. Our fight is the fight of all workers, against bosses and Cristina Governments attack, who is an agent of imperialism. An injury to one is an injury to all. Unity and coordination.
