Press release 1574 "Wednesday of the Retirees" June 7, 2022

MONTH OF JUNE - CONFERENCES FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN, GIRLS AND CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY:

06/03/2022: DAY AGAINST VIOLENCE, MURDERS AND ABUSE OF WOMEN "NI UNA LESS" was shouted in the massive mobilizations throughout the country, from Jujuy to Tierra del Fuego, with

different tones and the same demands, as happens since 2015. For a judicial reform and the

responsibility of the Government in the adequate accompaniment of those who are victimized by

sexist violence, for the protection of children and adolescents who are orphaned by femicides, for the

salary for territorial caregivers and against poverty and inequality with women, which increasingly

overwhelms households, are some of the demands of this "Ni Una Menos" that resumes the

occupation of the streets.

06/12/2022: “International Day against child labour”. Child labor prevents the full access of children

and adolescents to fundamental rights for their development. The advances of recent years in the

fight against child labor in Latin America and the Caribbean are at risk. The impact of COVID-19

exacerbated the situation of children and adolescents, who have seen their education paralyzed by

the quarantines and who were forced to enter the world of work pushed by the economic crisis and

the lack of income of their elders.

06/15/2022: IMPORTANT DAY ESTABLISHED AS "WORLD DAY OF AWARENESS OF ABUSE AND MISTREATMENT OF THE ELDERLY"

The General Assembly of the United Nations, in its resolution 66/127, establishes June 15 as the

World Day of Awareness of the Abuse and Mistreatment of Older Persons. The increase in life

expectancy, such an important achievement of humanity, requires measures that ensure the

necessary and sufficient conditions to have an income that covers subsistence, access to health,

housing, education, culture and recreation at this stage of life. “Elder abuse and mistreatment” can

be defined as the various forms of mistreatment that cause harm or suffering to an elderly person or

the lack of appropriate measures to prevent it. We are aware that having salaries, pensions and

retirement benefits that are not in line with basic needs, unity in the struggles of the active and retired

working class is essential to reverse the conditions of poverty and indigence. A reality that requires

political decisions, with full employment, with decent and blank wages, putting an end to

unregistered, precarious, illegal work, with the reestablishment of state and employer contributions

to the pension system, among other measures. It is also necessary that the large dominant economic

groups pay for the crisis, which continue to increase their profits, at the cost of exploitation, poverty

and marginalization, with alarming rates for our people.

WE CALL FOR THE DAY OF JUNE 15, AT 3 PM, ON THE 1575 WEDNESDAYS OF THE RETIRED IN FRONT OF CONGRESS, IN RIVADAVIA BETWEEN CALLAO AND RIOBAMBA AND IN VARIOUS PLACES IN THE COUNTRY, TO EXPAND THE UNITY AND THE STRUGGLE FOR AN EMERGENCY INCREASE IN RETIREMENTS AND PENSIONS SO THAT THE MINIMUM ASSETS COVER THE BASIC BASKET OF AN ELDERLY PERSON, TODAY AT $97,238.-(EQUIVALENT TO THREE CURRENT MINIMUM ASSETS!!) AND RECOMPOSITION AT ALL SCALES.

FOR THE FIVE POINTS OF STRUGGLE OF A GROUP OF TRADE UNIONS, RETIRED, SOCIAL ANDTERRITORIAL ORGANIZATIONS CONTAINED IN THE THREE PROJECTS OF LAWS: NEW SOCIAL PROTECTION LAW; LAW OF NORMALIZATION OF THE INSSJYP-PAMI-END OF THE INTERVENTION AND LAW OF COMMODATED HOUSING FOR RETIRED AND PENSIONED IN A HOUSING EMERGENCYSITUATION THAT, WITH MOBILIZATION AND STRUGGLE, WE WILL RE-PRESENT IN THE CHAMBEROF DEPUTIES OF THE NATION, TO PROMOTE A GREAT POPULAR AND PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE, FOR A TRUE PUBLIC, PAYGO, ASSISTED, INTERGENERATIONAL PENSION SYSTEM AND A HEALTH

AND HOUSING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF RETIRES AND PENSIONERS TO LIVE WITH AUTONOMY AND DIGNITY.

MES DE JUNIO - JORNADAS POR LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS DE LAS MUJERES, NIÑAS Y NIÑOS Y DE LAS PERSONAS MAYORES: 06/03/2022: 

JORNADA CONTRA LA VIOLENCIA, LOS ASESINATOS Y EL ABUSO A LAS MUJERES "NI UNA MENOS" se gritó en las masivas movilizaciones en todo el país, desde Jujuy hasta Tierra del Fuego, con distintos tonos y los mismos reclamos, como sucede desde 2015. Por una reforma judicial y la responsabilidad del Gobierno en el adecuado acompañamiento de quienes son víctimas de la violencia sexista, por la protección de los niños y adolescentes que quedan huérfanos por los femicidios, por el salario para los cuidadores territoriales y contra la pobreza y la desigualdad con las mujeres, que agobia cada vez más a los hogares, son algunos de los reclamos de este "Ni Una Menos" que retoma la ocupación de las calles.

06/12/2022: "Día Internacional contra el trabajo infantil". El trabajo infantil impide el pleno acceso de los niños y adolescentes a derechos fundamentales para su desarrollo. Los avances de los últimos años en la lucha contra el trabajo infantil en América Latina y el Caribe están en riesgo. El impacto de COVID-19 agravó la situación de los niños, niñas y adolescentes, que han visto paralizada su educación por las cuarentenas y que se vieron obligados a entrar en el mundo del trabajo empujados por la crisis económica y la falta de ingresos de sus mayores.

15/06/2022: SE ESTABLECE COMO "DÍA MUNDIAL DE LA CONCIENCIACIÓN SOBRE EL ABUSO Y EL MALTRATO A LAS PERSONAS MAYORES"

La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, en su resolución 66/127, establece el 15 de junio como el Día Mundial de la Toma de Conciencia del Abuso y el Maltrato a las Personas Mayores. El aumento de la esperanza de vida esperanza de vida, un logro tan importante de la humanidad, requiere medidas que aseguren las condiciones necesarias y suficientes para disponer de unos ingresos que cubran la subsistencia, el acceso a la salud vivienda, educación, cultura y recreación en esta etapa de la vida. "El abuso y el maltrato a las personas mayores" puede definirse como las diversas formas de maltrato que causan daño o sufrimiento a una persona mayor o la falta de medidas adecuadas para evitarlo. Somos conscientes de que tener sueldos, pensiones y jubilaciones que no se ajustan a las necesidades básicas, la unidad en las luchas de la clase trabajadora activa y jubilada clase trabajadora es imprescindible para revertir las condiciones de pobreza e indigencia. Una realidad que requiere decisiones políticas, con pleno empleo, con salarios dignos y en blanco, poniendo fin a el trabajo no registrado, precario e ilegal, con el restablecimiento de los aportes estatales y patronales al sistema de pensiones, entre otras medidas. También es necesario que los grandes grupos económicos dominantes económicos dominantes paguen por la crisis, que siguen aumentando sus beneficios, a costa de la explotación, la pobreza y marginación, con índices alarmantes para nuestro pueblo.

CONVOCAMOS A LA JORNADA DEL 15 DE JUNIO, A LAS 15 HORAS, EN LOS 1575 MIÉRCOLES DE LOS JUBILADOS FRENTE AL CONGRESO, EN RIVADAVIA ENTRE CALLAO Y RIOBAMBA Y EN VARIOS LUGARES DEL PAÍS, PARA AMPLIAR LA UNIDAD Y LA LUCHA POR UN AUMENTO DE EMERGENCIA DE LAS JUBILACIONES Y PENSIONES PARA QUE LOS HABERES MÍNIMOS CUBRAN LA CANASTA BÁSICA DE UN ADULTO MAYOR, HOY EN $97.238.- (¡¡EQUIVALENTE A TRES HABERES MÍNIMOS ACTUALES!!) Y LA RECOMPOSICIÓN EN TODAS LAS ESCALAS.

POR LOS CINCO PUNTOS DE LUCHA DE UN GRUPO DE SINDICATOS, JUBILADOS, ORGANIZACIONES SOCIALES Y TERRITORIALES CONTENIDOS EN LOS TRES PROYECTOS DE LEY: NUEVA LEY DE PROTECCIÓN SOCIAL; LEY DE NORMALIZACIÓN DEL INSSJYP-PAMI-FIN DE LA INTERVENCIÓN Y LEY DE VIVIENDA COMODATO PARA JUBILADOS Y PENSIONADOS EN SITUACIÓN DE EMERGENCIA HABITACIONAL QUE, CON MOVILIZACIÓN Y LUCHA, VOLVEREMOS A PRESENTAR EN LA CÁMARA DE DIPUTADOS DE LA NACIÓN, PARA PROMOVER UN GRAN DEBATE POPULAR Y PARLAMENTARIO, POR UN VERDADERO SISTEMA DE PENSIONES PÚBLICO, DE REPARTO, ASISTIDO, INTERGENERACIONAL Y UN SISTEMA DE SALUD

 The history of the publication, Labor Today is a long and glorious one going back to the class-struggle era of the 1970's--fifty years ago, when the police action against Vietnam was raging.  The world has changed a lot since. We carry on that proud working class tradition of oppossing militarism (NATO) and neoliberalism (the Monroe Doctrine). Our allies in the Pensioners and Retired  Trade Union International of the WFTU will be participating in the Peoples' Summmit against the Organization of American States (OAS) in Los Angeles, California this week. We carry on the worldwide struggle against some of the biggest enterprises the world has ever seen: Amazon, Starbucks, Nabisco, Exxon-Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.We invite you to join us.

WFTU STATEMENT: May Day 2022: “United, we continue! For the satisfaction of our contemporary needs, against imperialist-capitalist barbarity!”

 

LT EDITORIAL COMMENT

All around the world we commemorate, we do not celebrate May Day. We have much work to do to realize the reasons why May Day was created.

Long live the 18th World Trade Union Congress!

The World Trade Union Federation, on the occasion of May Day 2022, salutes workers on all continents – all those whose work continues to drive the gears of life even in difficult conditions and who continue to produce all essential goods.

The migrant workers in Chicago, who fought and sacrificed their lives in May 1886 for the establishment of the 8-hour day, paved the way for the international working class to continue to demand its rights.

The international class-oriented labor movement, through the ranks of the WFTU, honors the legacy of their struggle and continues under all circumstances, despite the difficulties, to fight for the fulfillment of the contemporary needs of workers and the abolition of exploitation, for the emancipation of the working class and its liberation from the capitalist barbarity.

Honoring those killed and injured on Worker's Memorial Day throughout the world

 

Editorial

The Thatcher - Reagan rabid imposition of neoliberalism has hollowed out all OSHA enforcement and standard setting in the USA, killing and injuring thousands. Democrats, Republicans and all corporate sponsored political parties are equally guilty, representing neoliberal policies that destroy workers lives and health.

HEADING FOR THE XVIII WORLD CONGRESS OF TRADE UNIONS

By Valentin Pacho, 

former general secretary of the CGTP 

and vice-president of the WFTU

The class-based trade union movement of the five continents is preparing to participate in the XVIII Congress of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) to be held in the city of Rome-Italy from May 6 to 8, 2022, the participating delegations will represent 105 million members. The congress takes place in a very difficult international context for workers and the vast majority of the peoples of the world, as a result of the pandemic of coronavirus-19 and the deepening of the crisis of the capitalist system, which will be further aggravated by the repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine war, promoted by U.S. imperialism and its accomplices in the governments of the European Union.
