Open letter to employees API
aftermath of the strike 28 January and the statements of some labor representatives of refinery API, we feel the need to take part in the debate which emerged from Falconaresi and inhabitants of this territory called AERCA, young workers, mostly temporary workers, researchers and students "no future" , to be active participants in the protests in recent months that are shaking this sleepy country, not least the Marche.
issue this appeal, with respect to workers and RSU API, telling
now available to support the legitimate claims of defense
of jobs in their sector.
Last Friday was a long day of struggle and democracy: we lived
the night before the picket lines along with the factories Jesi FIOM, we saw a procession of thousands of people anconitano, colorful and varied, but whose contribution exceeded the very nature of strike category metalworkers from across the region (with rates of adherence to the strike that far exceed the size of the trade union that has brought it ...), precarious workers in education, students, ordinary citizens have traveled the main streets of the capital of the Marches and blocked, set, access to the Port for the whole morning.
A joint response to the crisis, in line with what happened in the rest of the country, which can only make a little 'more optimistic that something could still change, that the results of this general crisis and system are not so obvious then, that there is a great desire for participation and discussion that can not find expression in the usual channels and institutional policy, and that is the real big news, and a viable alternative in these dark times.
Much of the credit for this revival must go to what happened at Mirafiori, a story that, if the substance has nothing to with each other APIs, but the method has many similarities in many ways.
Of course the auto industry and the chemical, the assembly and refining are different issues. Sure
perhaps lacking here in the arrogance of a Marchionne tramples upon human rights work (to strike, the democratic representation, the work breaks, non-mandatory overtime ...) and blame the workers themselves as if they were the company responsible for the crisis and their own layoffs, though the exemplary nature of the story FIAT already seems to promise a radical and widespread transformation of industrial relations from which no industry can be said to be free ...
But what we want is just one such method, a way of making you want to impose, that of the take it or leave it, that of "blackmail".
As if there's only one way of doing business, an absolute truth that is uncomfortable with confrontation, mediation will not tolerate, from that of its investment power, his money, thrown in the face of him who has none and needs, will retain the right to decide for everyone, and above all else. How
Marchionne can afford to reverse a century of constitutional law and labor, so the API, in his "small", for over five years and continues to breach groped to dismantle the regional energy plan, insisting in proposing business plans in clear contrast to those addresses outside the rules. Almost
that, just as Marchionne, the management API claiming a "separate deal", I believe in right to do what other mere mortals are not allowed. And as a corollary
this policy of blackmail, using "their" factories such as barracks, in a battle for the overall competition against anyone who is outside, the enemy to win. Blackmail, which falls on both the workers as a whole, which has already decided to change. Simply
we wonder how much energy, resources, opportunities, and jobs have been wasted over the years of confrontation and why top management API is in ostinino not consider viable alternatives for some time. While the PEAR
encourages renewable energy, energy efficiency and distributed generation in the industrial districts (and data in hand with a positive feedback objectively in just five years of application), the API once again, for five years, concentrated large plants and pollutants associated with the use of fossil fuels, which keep us dependent on the global market and its financial fluctuations.
are not sufficient to bury this simple evidence, ideological and partisan interpretations such as those who confuse a "conversion" in "environmentally advanced energy hub" with the construction of a megacentrale from 580 MW to the existing well and the refinery, or the production of "clean energy" with the processes of combustion combined-cycle natural gas derivatives and refining processes.
not enough to raise the specter of the crisis of jobs, without recognizing that at present a power plant, a LNG terminal off-shore, require little labor and can not compete with the jobs created from renewable energy market, one of the few manufacturing sectors in which Italy excels in Europe and not affected by the current crisis.
Nor can we fail to point out how the API, which also invests elsewhere in this sector and has decided to sacrifice this land and its employees, operations in more risky, less innovative and probably more expensive.
The curious interpretation of some, in vogue these days, namely that the megacentrali should replace and convert divestiture of the refinery, there is both supported in any official document, and if so, we would probably observe that the jobs would be guaranteed even lower than the current.
These are the facts that we have gained through years of focus on the issue. On which we are willing to deal with anyone and not having any policy to defend the flag, possibly reconsider.
Of course we can only imagine how difficult it is today working in the refinery, under the blackmail of fear for the safety conditions for the continuity of income for the maintenance of the workplace. It takes courage in challenging a plan to which top management does not offer any alternative. It would take courage that
stems from the awareness that they are not alone.
courage that is possible, as demonstrated by workers at Mirafiori, and everyone here and now, have decided to try not to give it won.
The strength of that resistance to blackmail, we believe, has been to defend their jobs, without exchanging him with his dignity and the rights that decades of struggle in this country has been conquered, to plead that the worker, as the union, the company is not only when their salaries with private funds in the deferred allows Marchionne to continue playing the stock market and high finance, but also when you can discuss how and what to produce, it makes sense SUV production at Mirafiori for American millionaires in times of crisis and the U.S. itself while betting the electric car for 2015?

The examples of the courage, the strength of the blackmail has allowed many to identify themselves and be reflected in that particular story, but who could speak at all.
has allowed up to what once seemed impossible that the workers of big industry and ordinary citizens, that teachers and students, that employees "guaranteed" and precarious, could come together, united against the crisis.
This seed is now germinating and reproducing, against the blackmail of those who would impose austerity and sacrifice for those who already pay the crisis for some time.
Together, united, we must find a way to talk, to be able to find common than differences, to challenge this unique thought behind the question API and keeps us all divided and weak.
We should find ways to cultivate that seed even at Falconara, aware that the lack of communication that separates those who are outside and those inside the petrochemical industry is the only weapon that continues to gain weight who is over one and other.
All united against the crisis!
