Bulletin FRONT OF WORKERS IN THE POWER OF MEXICO
Organization workers affiliated to the WFTU
www.fte-energia.org night, the Federal Preventive Police and the Federal Army the direct order of Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, took by assault the facilities Luz y Fuerza del Centro (LyFC). An hour later, already on October 11, Calderon issued the Decree of Termination of our business, unconstitutional and illegally selling off more than 44,000 active workers and is a real coup.
This infamous and cowardly attack on the Mexican Electricians Union (SME), is also a serious attack on the rights and achievements of the entire labor movement and popular, putting workers and the people in a true emergency social status. It

federal executive who has orchestrated this senseless and vicious campaign against the working class, in their abject servility to the international financial institutions, transnational corporations and the U.S. empire. They have no qualms about declaring war on the workers and the people, to put the country on the brink of a social and political confrontation of massive proportions. Calderón and congeners have lied with impunity, having at all times with the help of major media companies, including Televisa, TV Azteca, Goals and Cadena Tres. Installed at the electrical workers in the dock, losjuzgaron, sentenced and executed the sentencia, sin haber tenido el menor derecho a la defensa propia.

La estrategia gubernamental fue clara, desaparecer a un sindicato clasista, crítico, combativo y nacionalista. La forma no importó, había que hacerlo a toda costa. Para ello instrumentaron el cónclave, donde representantes de las cámaras patronales, gobernadores, dirigentes de algunos partidos políticos, medios de comunicación y el propio ejecutivo federal, tomaron la decisión: ACABAR A TODA COSTA CON EL SINDICATO MEXICANO DE ELECTRICISTAS. Esto como una Decisión de Estado.

Pero la torpeza gubernamental no conoce límites y tampoco riesgos. Apostaron a una rendición rápida del Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas, do not know the working class. The SME decided not to surrender, fight to the horizon of their strengths and exercise their right to rebellion. Here nobody surrenders, or is going to go on their knees to beg no pardon, we will not ask our executioners any sympathy. Why we are here with you, all together, to unify the popular resistance to neoliberalism, to join with the victims, the homeless, the excluded and exploited by the greedy and savage capitalism. To recover what is ours, what belongs to all workers and the people, to make our country, a country where ideals become a reality for Freedom, Justice and Democracy, where no one is enriched with the work of others. This is our Nation Project,

alternative to neoliberalism.


why this National Assembly of the Popular Resistance resolves to work on the following axes Programmatic:

1 .- unconditional and unrestricted express our solidarity with our brothers in the Mexican Electricians Union, strongly demanding: the immediate repeal of Decree LyFC extinction, the output of police and military forces of the workplace electricians Army back to barracks, and immediate return to constitutional legality.

2 .- Reject Calderon economic package that the House of Representatives just passed a few days ago, where increased taxes and create new ones. No more taxes on workers and the Mexican people, we want more salary. 3 .-

4 .- Raise the banner of struggle of the workers and the people, such as;
a) Defense of Food and Energy Sovereignty. b) Defense Education Public, free and secular.

FTE
comments


view of the serious assault of the Mexican state against the SME's electricians FTE of Mexico considers that the three basic pillars for the fight are: 1 - political leadership, 2 - a proposal nationalizing electrical solution and 3 - the organized mobilization of the masses.

In this latter respect the people of Mexico Solidarity has shown strong willingness to fight. This was expressed in the march of 15 October and in multiple population initiatives taken by organizing events and gathering food.
however, still requires political leadership, now has centered around the defense of nationalized electricity industry and the actions of the masses to push for a decent and dignified solution to all electricians.
The FTE, present at the meeting on 24 October, was a significant unrest in several organizations and among the electricians themselves. The atmosphere was to make big decisions mobilization, in particular the need to agree the preparation of a National Strike Solidarity. However, Esparza himself deferred the decision despite the wishes by various organizations. Unemployment
believe should be encouraged, we reiterate that is 13 or 14 November on the basis of organizing actions seriously and urgently at whatever level possible.

How To Build A False Wall In Closet

employ soldiers and police







FTE STATEMENT OF MEXICO


on police and military occupation of the electrical installations of Light and Power Centre. FRONT ENERGY WORKERS, MEXICO
of workers affiliated to the Organization WFTU www.fte-energia.org
LFC away and proceeds to settle its commitments rescinding the 1994 decree by which the parastatal had been created. As announced by the government, the rights of the electricians would be safe by over-compensation than those specified in the law.
All workers would be eliminated and the operation of LFC would then be made by the Commission Federal de Electricidad (CFE). The police and military occupation sheltered the income of electricians (scab) of sister union (SUTERM) which, together with military technicians will take care of the public electricity service in the Valley of Mexico.
Measurement State power is unacceptable and reprehensible. Successive governments have pursued a policy shift denationalizing to have delivered more than 300 corporations and their subsidiaries, 49.4% of total electricity generation capacity nationwide,
July 31, 2009. Far from complete nationalization, expressed in the electrical industry integration, we proceeded to fragmentation and privatization.



Alteration of normal association


Luz y Fuerza del Centro pact grew out of a shameful association with Salinas de Gortari to prevent the extinction of 2% of shares Foreign companies must have occurred in 1999, according to the nationalization decree power in 1960.
With this, the government obtained the consent of the union representing EMS shift to regressive reforms from 1992 to the Public Service Act Electricity, thus allowing electrical current privatization rampant poaching. The union wanted to have a policy never own power, however, followed a path functional state. Derived from the conflict
union election of 2009, which put the union in a situation of Alteration of Normal Association, one of the contending parties (the Green header by Martin Esparza) made repeated efforts to publicly promote the confrontation with the state, under conditions of weakness, internal division and political isolation. The State responded by taking to the forces of coercion LFC power plants, decreeing the demise of the company and the liquidation of all over 40 thousand active workers.
Meanwhile, the Mexican Electricians Union accredited lacks legal representation, because nobody has recognized legal personality, its functioning is de facto, with the intolerance of the group "Green" and, worse, a tragic policy in association industry and labor. That group is the responsible for causing the unfortunate situation now and it is assumed representative of the electricians who betrayed him.


electrical output from the base


a) negotiate the return of all the work
In the difficult circumstances it is necessary to address possible solutions to conflict. The proposal is to agree FTE Industrial Integration, even if not in the conditions proposed in previous eras. CFE and LFC must be integrated into a single industry, for one, into one company. The CFE would then assume the job responsibilities as a substitute employer, ie, NO electrician would be cleared but retain Job title field with relevant work. The employment relationship would be under the current collective bargaining agreement through the same SME, agreed on short-term perspective, to unify the working conditions in a single Collective Agreement of the Electricity Industry and organizations into a single union, Mexican Union of Energy, whose field of work is the direct implementation of the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity across the country. These decisions would be made democratically by all the general assemblies of the electrical workers.

Under current circumstances, the resolution would necessarily be negotiated. In this option requires a basic option, the bureaucratic trade union apparatus, headed by Martin Esparza, abruptly causing a confrontation with the state, whose effects now affect all electricians, no legal, moral and political to represent workers. b) Restore the normal electoral process by replacing union electricians SME have the need (for legal and political reasons) the constitution, within the union, in a temporary coalition (because the union is an alteration of normal association) and, As such, collective decision to negotiate the return of ALL the work in the conditions above. Restore normal
association, the political leadership would take the SME itself, whose existence is at issue now, while there are 20 electricians who hold, there will be EMS, it can only disappear if no members since its existence is not subject the decree of suppression LFC. Restore normal

association is a necessity and the procedures to be implemented soon. Need to be replaced democratically in a timely manner, the electoral process because otherwise there is nobody to establish even bargaining who appearance, to personality accredited to the obvious collective wisdom of an economic nature, in order to terminate the individual and collective labor relations, the government will soon be filed with the Federal Board of Conciliation and Arbitration.


political solidarity with the electricians


The scenario caused not allow for hesitation or turning back the wheel of time. NOT enough bullying, name calling and intolerance, not even the defense or the constitutional controversy. Green group, provoking the disaster, he confused the class struggle to a cockfight. It was not necessary or inevitable have arrived at this point.
therefore quickly build out of BASE is the only option, even with the home front divided and being outside the workplace. We believe that social solidarity organizations, national and international, have expressed support for the electricians as a whole rather than individuals, ie support to the SME as an institution rather than its destroyers. Proposals should consider solidarity with the decisions of the base electrician promoting: the return to work of all electricians in the fullness of rights through a negotiated settlement of conflict in the context of integration of the electricity industry nationalized. Mobilization at all levels and in all parts must be characterized by an explicit rejection of illegal electricity privatization nationwide.

The FTE of Mexico calls the base electrician (active and retired) to emergency at this time acting reflective, critical and decisively to correctly orient the solution of the conflict. Neither the source of work, or the collective agreement nor the union have to extinction as inevitable or catastrophic fate. Time has been lost, have missed opportunities, the state has unleashed the aggression induced from within, but has not lost the war. There are alternatives and worker-friendly outputs even if not the best scenario. The condition is in the decision control of the electricians, consciously directed, organized and mobilized. The social and political solidarity organizations have a duty to support political positions right, not spontaneous or improvised. Social participation is necessary because the electricity industry is in the nation, not to the state and less government, not even one of the electricians. Health and Social Revolution!
