Jump To Comment: 1In the context of the heavily armed repression, including the use of hoods, that the police has set up in the workplace (see our preceding message), in the context of the "jobs”-assembly industry – famine wages set up in Haiti, in the context of the total impunity the bourgeois enjoy for this: at present, it is openly, above the law and above the State, that the textile capitalists are acting.
Indeed. This Friday, September 30th, at the Multiwear factory belonging to Richard Coles, they summoned Hilaire Jean-François, sixth member of the SOTA (textile and apparel union), to the offices to inform him simply: that he was fired! When he asked why they told him it was due to shortage of raw materials. When he asked why him, a member of the executive committee of a union just recently set up in the textile industry, and showed a photocopy of the union’s legal registration at the ministry of labor –a document all the union members always carry on them – the answer was: exactly for that!
The Labor Code, as well as the Constitution, forbids attacking workers because of their union affiliation. Until recently, the bosses always made up excuses to cover up these attacks. Now, not only do they violate the law but they assume it, bluntly, openly!
Ourselves, at Batay Ouvriye, we say, once again: in the name of our legal rights our class stood up for =nd seized, in the name of our STRUGGLE, WE’VE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT! WE’VE JUST BEGUN TO MOBILIZE!
DOWN WITH ANTI-UNION REPRESSION!
DOWN WITH THE BOSSES’ AND STATE ALLIES’ BLOODTHIRSTY DOMINATION!
FORWARD OUR STRUGGLE, WE THE WORKING CLASS, WE =HE LABORERS AND ALL CONSEQUENT PROGRESSIVES, FOR OUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS, WHETHER IN THE FACTORIES, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, IN THE FIELDS, IN THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD!
