From the IWA-Secretariat, Oslo

Dear Sections and Friends!

The CNTE has conflicts in various places in Spain against the firm Mercadona, and now in Barcelona the CNT-AIT has a strike at the "el Centro Logistico de Mercadona en Sant Sadorni d`Anoia". Measures of security, three union delegates’ readmission, and the ceasing of labor pursuit are the reasons of the strike!

Because of the large amount of workers involved in the strike, the CNT-AIT members are in constant need of economical support and solidarity.!

The Secretariat decided yesterday to send 2500 Euros to the striking workers, and we urge the Sections and Friends to speed up the solidarity work!

The bank account number is:

  • From Europe: IBAN: ES08 2100 (La Caixa)-1183-35-0100505773
  • From other parts of the world than Europe: BIC (Swift): CAIXESBBXXX 2100 (La Caixa)- 1183-35-0100505773

We also ask you to send messages of solidarity to the workers through the Local Federation of the CNT-AIT of Barcelona: [email protected]

Please, send copies to the Permanent Secretariat of the Comite Nacional of the CNTE ([email protected]) and the IWA- Secretariat ([email protected])

Information in Spanish are on: http://barcelona.cnt.es http://www.cnt.es

The strike support and solidarity will continue until the workers have won all demands and the comrades are reinstated!!

Resolution from the IWW's International Solidarity Commission

The IWW stands in solidarity with the workers at Mercadona who are demanding that three militants fired from their jobs be rehired. The workers at Mercadona demand that their rights to affiliate with the union of their choice be respected, and we join them in this demand.

The IWW is committed to a grass-roots resistance to corporate autocracy, and we will work with others to build a movement that can defeat the corporations and construct a new world based on cooperation instead of cutthroat competition.
