#GlobalMayDay2021: Materials

For the past few months various workers organized in different syndicates and unions have been coordinating a common framework for the Global May Day 2021. The framework basically consists of a call to action (English, German, Spanish, Portuguese), common symbols (below) as well as good communication (e.g. informing the mailing list).

Initial supporters of this year’s call: Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden (SAC), Federation of Syndicalist Organisations Brasil (FOB), Free Workers’ Union (FAU) Hamburg, Garment Workers’ Trade Union Center (GWTUC, Bangladesh), Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) Bristol.

Manifiesto: Primero de Mayo 2021

Pรกgina principal: Global May Day 2021

A nivel mundial, nosotros, los trabajadores asalariados, nos vemos obligados a una competiciรณn para incrementar cada vez mรกs el valor adicional obtenido de la cadena de producciรณn. Independientemente de nuestro lugar de residencia, de nuestro gรฉnero/sexo, nacionalidad, lo queramos o no, estamos implicados en la misma lucha. Los recortes presupuestarios en los servicios sociales, la subcontrataciรณn, los salarios cada vez mรกs exiguos, privatizaciones, incremento del coste de la vida, asรญ como las tasas de las matrรญculas para las y los estudiantes y la destrucciรณn de los ecosistemas naturales, son solo algunos de los sรญntomas del sistema econรณmico global. Un sistema que estรก basado en la explotaciรณn y en la competiciรณn, conduce a una mercantilizaciรณn de todos los aspectos de nuestra vida.

Aufruf: Global May Day 2021

Hauptseite: Global May Day 2021

Weltweit werden wir, die Lohnabhรคngigen, in einen Wettbewerb zueinander gesetzt, um die Mehrwertproduktion anzukurbeln und รผberhaupt erst zu ermรถglichen. Egal wo wir wohnen, welches Geschlecht wir haben, welche Nationalitรคt uns zugeschrieben wird, wir sind im selben Kampf verwoben, ob wir wollen oder nicht. Kรผrzungen sozialer Dienstleistungen in รถffentlichen Haushalten, Outsourcing, das Drรผcken von Lรถhnen, Privatisierungen, ansteigende Lebenshaltungskosten sowie Studiengebรผhren und die Zerstรถrung natรผrlicher Grundlagen sind nur einige Symptome, die im direkten Zusammenhang mit dem globalen Wirtschaftssystem stehen. Ein System, welches auf Ausbeutung und Wettbewerb basiert und die Kommerzialisierung aller Lebensbereiche vorantreibt.
