L'EMANCIPAZIONE DEI LAVORATORI SARÁ OPERA DEI LAVORATORI STESSI

L'Unione Sindacale Italiana, sezione italiana dell'A.I.T. (Association Internacional de los Trabajadores) fondata nel 1912, disciolta dal fascismo nel 1922, si è faticosamente ricostituita alla fine degli anni settanta. 

L'USI è l'organizzazione nazionale di tutti i salariati, i precari e disoccupati, di ogni sesso e nazionalità residenti in Italia che si propongono di raggiungere con le proprie forze l'emancipazione dell'uomo liberandosi da qualsiasi dominio economico, politico, morale.

Coerentemente con gli scopi che si prefigge, l'USI tende all'autorganizzazione dei lavoratori; pratica la democrazia diretta; si fonda sui principi dell'autogestione; non è dipendente nè tributaria di alcun partito politico,di alcun movimento specifico, di alcun dogma religioso o laico.

This lack of unity has contributed greatly to our lack of power, which has in turn hampered our ability to negotiate and enforce good contracts. We are unable to effectively confront the carriers on issues of vital concern to our membership-attendance, crew fatigue, discipline, safety, etc.-because we are divided. The carriers are degrading and deskilling our crafts, implementing new technologies that threaten our jobs, our safety and livelihoods, propose the dismantling of FELA, demand drastic health care concessions, and more. In the face of this aggressive attack, is there any doubt of the need for the

The campaign for justice for Fremantle workers continues.

Many years ago the fledgling Seafarers International Union adopted the wearing of white hats to signify that they were untouched by the criminal element that infested the Longshormen's Union. We know for certain that this is a fraud and have suspected same for a number of years. Below you will find information from a member of the American Maritime Officers Union concerning donations made to two Mafia members by both the Maritime Defense League and the American Maritime Officers Legal Defense Fund. These donations of seafarers hard earned money were made without permission or knowledge of the rank and file members of those unions.

Our Objectives:

1. That all Americans will be entitled to a fair and honest wage, affordable health care coverage, a safe work environment, and protection from corporate greed.

2. Create a political force to stand up to big business and corporate-backed measures that are hostile to American workers.

3. Support and elect politicians who sign our pledge and follow through with worker-friendly votes.
