The WFTU on the occasion of Palestinians Land Day on March 30th

 

The World Federation of Trade Unions, which is the militant voice of 105 million workers in 133 countries of the world, honors the Palestinians Land Day and the resistance of the People of Palestine who struggled on March 30th, 1976, against the Israeli expropriation of their land.

For one more anniversary of the Land Day, the Israeli occupation continues the stealing of Palestinian land with illegal settlements while Palestinian families are being displaced. Moreover, the murderous attacks and violations by Israel against Palestinians continue and thousands of Palestinian political prisoners, among whom children, women and ill remain imprisoned in Israeli jails.

The World Federation of Trade Unions will always denounce the imperialist aggression and the criminal policies of Israel and its allies against the Palestinian people. Through international campaigns of Solidarity and Relief, through Conferences and militant actions and interventions, we reiterate our internationalist solidarity with the People of Palestine for the creation of their independent Palestinian state on 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its Capital and for the return of Palestinian refugees to their homeland. We demand the end of Israeli settlements and the release of all Palestinian political prisoners.

Sindicatos denuncian fraudulento anclaje del salario al petro ~ Unions denounce fraudulent wage anchoring to the petroleum equivalent

 

Caracas,  02-15-2022  (TP Newsroom) - The National Front for the Struggle of the Working Class (FNLCT), which brings together a group of class-conscious unions and organizations of the grassroots union movement, denounced the fraud of the national executive by not anchoring the minimum wage to the value of the Petro, but fixing it at approximately $30.

This was made known through its official account in the social network Twitter, after the declarations of the pro-government deputy Franklin Rondón, who, in view of the information vacuum that has accompanied this announcement, stated in the state channel that the salary will not vary with the fluctuation of the value of the Petro, but will be fixed at approximately 30$.

Days before, economists and leaders of the governing party Psuv, assured that the salary had been indexed to the Petro.

Voceros de cúpula sindical patronal defienden lo indefendible, hacen el ridículo en TV. Se evidencia fraude del "anclaje" del salario a 1/2 petro, igual que el 2018. FNLCT y CUTV reafirman denuncia de la burla cometida contra la clase trabajadora. La lucha unitaria es la salida
