The PO and Crespo fraternizing with the traitors of the CGT

And where are the classist and militant plenaries meetings?

The leadership of the Argentine tire union went to receive the solidarity of the CGT bureaucracy, those ministers without portfolio of the Fernándezs… They received that solidarity from Moyano!

On his way to putting SUTNA under the orbit of the CGT, Alejandro Crespo does a good job, the other side of the oil workers leader who states that the CGT should go on strike for an indefinite period of time to obtain a basic salary of 173,000 pesos. But beyond any difference… Yoffra is right.  

The bankruptcy of the PO leadership is a fall to an endless cliff… Of course, Moyano et al. will support the trade unionists who call on the workers to keep on working overtime…
Why would Moyano not wash his dirty cloth supporting the SUTNA leadership where the tire employer is doing very well and can give them a few more pesos, for example, 200% for overtime or weekends shifts?

But they left behind the fight for the minimum wage, vital and mobile with the reduction of the working day... the fight for the opening of the accounting books to demonstrate the huge profits of the tire industry in Argentina. They left the struggle of the unemployed for decent work behind, which the PO claims to raise, after putting 60,000 of them on the streets. That is the solidarity that the tire workers need, but for this we must have another program that is the reduction of the working day, salary equal to the family basket and an extra shift in every factory. That is the invincible strength of the working class.

Is the union bureaucracy of the CGT of the Peronist government of the IMF the support that the tire workers need? Speechless.
General strike? Down with the infamous Social Pact? Breaking with the bourgeoisie, the government and the IMF? The PO doesn't say a word about it. On the contrary, they apply an anti-March-7-2017 policy; i.e. snapping the CGT's stage shouting "set the date for the strike".

All this happens while the FIT-U MPs proclaim the reduction of the working day: “do what I say, but not what I do”. This capitulation is a heavy blow to the employed and unemployed workers who are willing to enter the struggle.

Crespo won the race against Belliboni from the Polo Obrero to meet first with the business-bureaucrats of the CGT to wash his face. A few days later Romina Del Plá, at the head of the Multicolor, handed over the SUTEBA (teachers’ union) La Matanza to Baradel; while the Multicolor leadership relied on the Ministry of Labor (behind the backs of the grassroots teachers) to solve the electoral fraud, Baradel’s bureaucracy took possession of the union without any resistance.

The politics of the PO and its union and picketer leaders is at the feet of the Ministries and the union bureaucracy of the CGT and the CTA... The tire workers, the teachers and the combative unemployed workers cannot allow this slide by their leaders, who with this policy, put the best of the workers at the feet of the traitorous bureaucracy, the Fernández government and the slavers bosses.

Enough! With this policy of subordination, we cannot fight! Let them break with their politics at the feet of the union bureaucracy and with the infamous social pact!
