A-Infos (en) Argentina, Organizacion-Obrera #102: COMPANIONS!! WITH OR WITHOUT WORK, THEY SUNK US INTO MISERY. (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

This is another March 8, in which we continue to be immersed in the 
economic, social, cultural and consumer conditions. ---- Dragged by 
ideas spread by corporations and the state through the advertising 
media, where the objective is to sell us the idea that women today have 
more rights than before because we go out to work, where through the 
media they try to hinder us with fictitious ideas. that keep us in 
submission under the promise of female empowerment.
Where it is clear that women today want the capitalist system for their 
ranks as defenders of social inequality. That woman who cares about 
being physically beautiful, cold and ambitious. The reflection of this 
is found in all the advertisements of clothing and cosmetic brands that 
enslave workers in different parts of the world where they take 
advantage of the lack of union organization by having people exploited 
in their workshops or textile factories for very low salaries. So that 
another office worker or worker on the other side of the world wants to 
buy those empty products sustained only by the social indifference that 
exists in our humanity today.

  Comrades, we must continue to denounce and analyze humanity, which 
has changed little, because we have not yet been able to eradicate that 
form of economic and social organization that punishes and sustains 
social injustice that creates suffering and problems for everyone, 
trampling on the best of the human species. , convincing the majority of 
the world's population that ambition and coldness lead us to good ports 
in this life and within capitalism.

Today that vision not only convinced us, but also defeated women again. 
Many today aspire to be and look like the bourgeoisie. Without 
understanding that today's bourgeois women impose themselves as the 
image of the perfect woman who can do everything and sell us their 
calculating ideas that will never be for everyone because we live in a 
class society that is sustained by exploitation.

So today, work, just like yesterday, does not dignify me, it does not 
make me equal to anyone and it does not empower me from my chains. With 
or without work, colleagues, we are being dragged into misery.

Because working women today are divided thanks to politics that always 
put themselves before our union organization needs.

And because of that we must live with low salaries that are not enough 
to sustain ourselves, much less support a family. And where other 
minorities of women use better salaries in exchange for controlling the 
rest by being bosses or being exploitative bosses who own their own 
companies.

The struggle of women today involves multiple ideological banners that 
seek to divide us even more and drag us into a confusion that makes us 
support a side that is not ours.

That is why from various offices in the northern area we call on all 
those women who are fed up with being poorly paid in their jobs. How is 
the case of colleagues in education, health, cleaning, commerce, 
gastronomy, office and administration of various companies of public and 
private entities. Where there are many working women who must survive by 
saving their salaries to support the home while juggling the rising 
prices of food and the rest of the basic needs.

Because the exploitation of men is no longer enough, they decided to 
drag us all, us and the young people too, to go out to work or look for 
jobs if there is no work to contribute to a single home.

Therefore, today, just like yesterday, our problems are not only mere 
language and seeing how men and others address themselves when speaking 
to us or about us.

Our sufferings pierce the senses of the flesh and bones and destroy the 
spirit.

That is why again this March 8 we are here to remind businessmen and the 
government to take responsibility for the fact that they dragged us from 
home to work. And because we are female workers, we are paid lower 
salaries and receive less retirement than our male colleagues.

It is for this reason that no matter how much companies, politicians and 
union leaders talk to us nicely and with the "e" saying they are 
inclusive, they are exploiting us and we do not want more exploitation, 
because we are going to explode in organization and anger.

It is time to get tired, friends, and reject that patience with which we 
are told that we are endowed by nature so that we can be those women who 
help a family through good and bad times to a man who perhaps does not 
accompany them with the same patience as you, On top of this we add 
being patient in the face of abuse in the workplace, necessarily 
accepting that our work is worth shit or equal to being unemployed on 
many occasions.

Where the capitalist system sets conditions for us to access jobs that 
require a lot of sacrifice and preparation to then be used and discarded 
when we retire. Where many women know that few can sustain themselves 
for 30 years working or more, if at some moments in their lives they had 
to stop working to assume that laborious and natural responsibility of 
being mothers that no one considers and is even underestimated as time. 
that you lost while raising and were not able to receive rights such as 
retirement contributions or social work. Because you had to stop working 
to raise a child or because you were fired due to pregnancy, because we 
know that few work areas allow colleagues to enjoy paid maternity leave. 
Many women are precarious due to black jobs for companies that avoid all 
labor and union rights of workers.

We know well that every mother woman takes the reins back into the world 
of work and with greater needs for her children.

It is because of all these problems that we do not settle for a language 
that is heard and written beautifully to look good to us and conform 
through false respect, false inclusion and we are left out of political 
and economic decisions.

We do not want a false freedom, but a complete and true one.

We know that with the help of explorers this is impossible.

We need to organize in unions to raise what our true problems and needs 
of women are today.

If we are sure of one thing, it is that the state and the bosses do not 
respect us. I don't know if they are satisfied with exploiting men, 
today they also play the same way with us. Diverting our attention to 
prevent us from being able to organize so that we do not go out and tell 
them that we have many pending demands and one of them is that our 
children are not included in our salaries. We are not satisfied with a 
miserable allocation, a crime by the state against the well-being and 
development of our children and young people.

One more year we will take to the streets to continue fighting to 
denounce all injustice against humanity.

It is crazy that today there are few who can cover all the basic needs 
of taxes such as electricity, water, gas and rent by working one or two 
at home. The majority of working families cannot and to support 
themselves everyone goes to work or do whatever it takes to support 
shelter, food and taxes on basic services.

  That is why we are not going to get tired of attacking all 
governments because it does not matter if yesterday it was the gorilla 
and now it is the lion, but the state is a businessman and is being part 
of the negotiation that is impoverishing us day by day.

There are no women who are not hard workers and do not make the effort 
to continue surviving and supporting something or someone.

That is why we reject and repudiate the executioner's strangling actions 
against poor and working women, we do not want crumbs that are not 
enough, we want them to leave in peace our colleagues and our children 
who want to appropriate them to extract the last drop of blood when they 
begin to exploit labor.

We reject the mistreatment of our young people who cannot project 
themselves into the present or any future. Taking advantage of their 
youth by making them do multiple work tasks for very low salaries that 
only serve to go out with friends and be young, but not to become 
independent freely and start their lives. They grow and learn like birds 
to be ready to fly, but they cut their wings so they don't take flight.

We repudiate all this perverse mistreatment of keeping people in 
obedience and religiously accepting the reality that affects them.

We will continue to defend legal abortion achieved through struggle.

So that no woman runs health risks for not wanting or being able to 
become mothers for various economic or social reasons.

We must stop the perversion, we do not need to bring children into the 
world to suffer misery, it is not fair, quite the opposite is cruel. If 
the world is exploitation and inequality for so many people, what awaits 
the majority of our children?

We will never get tired!! To demand for every woman that she cannot 
access a job to cover her needs.

We will continue to accompany each retiree in the fight to improve 
retirement conditions, denouncing that the retirement system in the 
hands of the state is crossed by its control and bureaucracy. To loot 
the pension funds. Affecting the lives of retirees who today are 
humiliated by the state and employers, paying them crumbs of retirement 
as if it were social assistance that serves no purpose other than to 
slowly finish them off.
In order for the state to get rid of the cost generated by the retiree 
who can no longer continue working, being exploited and therefore no 
longer useful to the perverse system.

We must continue analyzing, comrades, the issue of human exploitation.

  There are many political distractions that will try to divert us from 
focus and mainly women who have more demands that come from the past 
without materializing as women's rights.

This is why we know well that businessmen together with the state

For some time now they have been preparing the ground day after day with 
the intention of reducing the possibilities of organization of the 
working class.

With the aim of increasing the working day, without receiving any salary 
difference.

Control us through the fear of job loss so that we end up accepting its 
divided and vulnerable conditions.

LET'S STOP THIS MARCH 8TH GENERAL STRIKE!! Until the exploitation ends.
