LAB y USB somos dos sindicatos hermanos que compartimos una misma ideolog&iacute;a y apostamos por un sindicalismo de clase, sociopol&iacute;tico y de confrontaci&oacute;n. Por eso, ambos estamos afiliados a la Federaci&oacute;n Sindical Mundial (FSM), y por eso nos apoyamos mutuamente. As&iacute;, por ejemplo, el pasado 30 de mayo se llev&oacute; a cabo una Huelga General en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco, que recibi&oacute; el apoyo de USB y del resto de centrales sindicales aqu&iacute; presentes hoy; igualmente, el pasado 17 de mayo organizamos en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco, en Bilbao, una conferencia sobre la crisis capitalista a nivel mundial y en Europa, en colaboraci&oacute;n con la fundaci&oacute;n CESTES, en la que intervinieron Luciano Vasapollo y James Petras.<\/p>\n<p> LAB es uno de los mayores sindicatos del Pa&iacute;s Vasco. Formamos parte de la izquierda independentista de nuestro pa&iacute;s y estamos presentes en todos los sectores de la econom&iacute;a. Tenemos especial fuerza en sectores como la industria, la administraci&oacute;n o la ense&ntilde;anza.<\/p>\n<p> El motivo de la Conferencia de hoy es la &ldquo;Negociaci&oacute;n colectiva en la fase de crisis capitalista&rdquo;, e intentar&eacute; centrarme en ello durante mi intervenci&oacute;n:<\/p>\n<p> La crisis capitalista se est&aacute; utilizando en toda Europa, y especialmente en la Uni&oacute;n Europea, como excusa para destruir totalmente el modelo de relaciones laborales y  el modelo social, para instaurar el capitalismo m&agrave;s salvaje. Una tras otra, se nos imponen diferentes reformas, todas ellas con efectos perversos para la clase trabadora: retraso de la edad de jubilaci&oacute;n, abaratamiento del despido, reformas laborales que aumentan la precariedad, privatizaci&oacute;n de la sanidad y de la educaci&oacute;n, etc.<\/p>\n<p> En este momento, debido al asunto que nos ocupa, nos detendremos en la reforma laboral y de negociaci&oacute;n colectiva que se ha llevado a cabo en el Estado espa&ntilde;ol recientemente. <\/p>\n<p> En primer lugar, hay que decir que es una reforma laboral que se ha impuesto de forma totalmente antidemocr&aacute;tica en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco, porque la clase trabajadora vasca y otros sectores populares (estudiantes, pensionistas, etc.) y los sindicatos mayoritarios en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco (entre ellos LAB) nos hemos opuesto a ella con diferentes movilizaciones (la &uacute;ltima, la Huelga General del pasado 30 de mayo), pero el gobierno espa&ntilde;ol la ha impuesto contra nuestra voluntad.<\/p>\n<p> Dado que la realidad, no s&oacute;lo pol&iacute;tica, sino tambi&eacute;n econ&oacute;mica, social y laboral y sindical es totalmente diferente en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco, porque los sindicatos pactistas y espa&ntilde;oles CCOO y UGT s&oacute;lo tienen un 30% de representaci&oacute;n en nuestra tierra, LAB y los sindicatos vascos llevamos a&ntilde;os reclamando un Marco Vasco de Relaciones Laborales y Seguridad Social, que nos permita decidir en estos temas en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco. Esta es una reivindicaci&oacute;n permanente nuestra.<\/p>\n<p> Adem&aacute;s, esta reforma es totalmente favorable a la patronal, porque supone un desequilibrio total en las relaciones laborales a favor de la patronal. Facilita hasta el extremo y abarata el despido y anula el derecho a la negociaci&oacute;n colectiva. <\/p>\n<p> Hasta el momento, las empresas, para seguir manteniendo sus cotas de beneficio, han destruido principalmente el empleo. Las tasas de desempleo han llegado a ser insostenibles (26,6% en el Estado espa&ntilde;ol; 17,5% en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco, cuando hace s&oacute;lo 4 a&ntilde;os era del 6%). Ahora, con esta nueva reforma pretenden rebajar los salarios y empeorar las condiciones laborales de las y los trabajadores.<\/p>\n<p> Esta reforma supone la destrucci&oacute;n total de los &aacute;mbitos de y el modelo de negociaci&oacute;n que ten&iacute;amos hasta el momento en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco o Euskal Herria, por varias cuestiones:<\/p>\n<p> 1.- Se limita la ultractividad de los convenios a un a&ntilde;o. Es un grave ataque a las reglas de juego de la negociaci&oacute;n colectiva. La ultractividad es la garant&iacute;a legal por la que un convenio mantiene su aplicaci&oacute;n hasta su sustituci&oacute;n por otro, evitando as&iacute; vacios de regulaci&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<p> Esta limitaci&oacute;n es la que ha hecho que la mayor&iacute;a de los convenios provinciales del Pa&iacute;s Vasco vayan a dejar de estar en vigor el  pr&oacute;ximo 7 de julio. En caso de no negociar un nuevo convenio se aplicar&aacute; el convenio estatal an&aacute;logo, o en su defecto, el Estatuto de los Trabajadores.<\/p>\n<p> Esto conlleva consigo, que empeoren los salarios y las condiciones laborales, ya que los convenios a nivel del Estado espa&ntilde;ol tienen en general peores condiciones laborales que los que existen en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco. En definitiva una mayor desregulaci&oacute;n y mayor conflicitvidad en las relaciones laborales<\/p>\n<p> 2.- Nuestro modelo de negociaci&oacute;n colectiva, se ha venido estructurando con car&aacute;cter general, en el &aacute;mbito provincial. Convenios que all&iacute; donde la correlaci&oacute;n de fuerzas lo ha permitido, han sido mejorados en el &aacute;mbito de la empresa. Ambito que en ning&uacute;n caso pod&iacute;a empreorar el provincial.<\/p>\n<p> Este modelo de negociaci&oacute;n, ha sido atacado por arriba, por los convenios estatales y por abajo, por la preferencia aplicativa que se da a las empresas.<\/p>\n<p> 3.- Se facilita el &ldquo;descuelgue salarial&rdquo;. El &ldquo;descuelgue salarial&rdquo; es la posibilidad que se le da a la empresa de inaplicar, casi de manera unilateral, mediante un arbitraje obligatorio, lo pactado entre ambas partes. Pierde valor el acuerdo.<\/p>\n<p> La negociaci&oacute;n colectiva regula las condiciones salariales y laborales de las y los trabajadores. Es por tanto un instrumento de reparto de riqueza y de mantenimiento de empleo. Una herrramienta principal en la acci&oacute;n sindical para la defensa colectiva de los derechos de las y los trabajadores.<\/p>\n<p> M&aacute;s si cabe, en un pa&iacute;s como el nuestro, que carece de competencias en el &aacute;mbito sociolaboral. Si bien es cierto, que para poder neutralizar en su totalidad, los efectos de las reformas que se nos imponen desde Espa&ntilde;a necesitamos plenas competencias (Marco Vasco de Relaciones Laborales y Protecci&oacute;n Social), no es menos cierto que la negociaci&oacute;n colectiva puede jugar un papel muy importante a la hora de minimizar esos efectos.<\/p>\n<p> Es por ello, que LAB desde el principio, ha defendido el marco propio de negociaci&oacute;n colectiva., para defender nuestro &aacute;mbito de negociaci&oacute;n. Esto pasa por defender los convenios provinciales con prevalencia frente al convenio estatal y por neutralizar los efectos m&aacute;s perversos de la reforma laboral, luchando en los convenios provinciales y en las empresas.<\/p>\n<p> La reforma laboral que se ha llevado a cabo en el Estado espa&ntilde;ol ha roto el poqu&iacute;simo equilibrio que exist&iacute;a en las relaciones laborales, en perjuicio de la clase trabajadora. La posici&oacute;n patronal es de comodidad, de soberbia. Est&aacute;n manteniendo las negociaciones bloqueadas para conseguir mejorar su posici&oacute;n ante el abismo que puede suponer que llegue el 7 de julio sin ning&uacute;n tipo de acuerdo vinculante que garantice que se mantendr&aacute;n los convenios colectivos provinciales ya existentes, por lo menos hasta que se firmen otros que los sustituyan.<\/p>\n<p> Cambiar est&aacute; actitud s&oacute;lo  ser&aacute; posible gracias a nuestra lucha y determinaci&oacute;n, gracias a la conflicitividad que seamos capaces de generar. Luchar contra la reforma laboral, va a ser una pelea d&iacute;ficil y constante en el tiempo, pero en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco hay base s&oacute;lida para ello, tal y como demostr&oacute; la Huelga general que el pasado 30 de mayo protagonizamos LAB y otros sindicatos vascos, y a la que se opusieron los sindicatos espa&ntilde;oles CCOO y UGT, que una vez m&aacute;s optaron por colaborar con los empresarios.<\/p>\n<p> Adem&aacute;s de la Huelgas Generales (en el Pa&iacute;s Vasco hemos hecho ya 6 huelgas generales en los &uacute;ltimos 4 a&ntilde;os), estamos realizando decenas de manifestaciones y huelgas sectoriales. Por ejemplo, el pasado 24 de mayo hubo una huelga sectorial en el metal en la provincia de Gipuzkoa en defensa del convenio provincial en la que par&oacute; m&aacute;s del 80% del sector, tal y como reconoci&oacute; la propia patronal. Asimismo, en junio habr&aacute; nuevas huelgas en el sector del metal.<\/p>\n<p> Desde LAB creemos que la lucha es el camino, tambi&eacute;n en la negociaci&oacute;n, para conseguir unas condiciones laborales lo m&aacute;s beneficiosas posibles para la clase trabajadora. El capitalismo y la Troika nos est&aacute;n intentando arrebatar todo, tambi&eacute;n los derechos sociales, laborales y sindicales, y por eso es esencial luchar por mantener el derecho a negociar colectivamente nuestras condiciones laborales, a fin de unir fuerzas y lograr ante las patronales una mejor posici&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<p> Para ello es muy importante tambi&eacute;n el trasvase de informaci&oacute;n entre los sindicatos europeos y, en la medida de lo psoible, coordinar nuestras reivindicaciones y nuestras luchas.<\/p>\n<p> Este seminario de hoy puede ser un primer paso en positivo para reforzar esa coordinaci&oacute;n entre los sindicatos que aqu&iacute; estamos, con la ayuda de la FSM.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Igor Urrutikoetxea (Miembro del Comit&eacute; Ejecutivo del sindicato LAB, Pa&iacute;s Vasco)<\/strong><br \/> &nbsp;<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div style=\"border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#dddddd; background-color:#ededed;padding:5px\"><strong>LAB&#8217;S INTERVENTION IN THE CONFERENCE &ldquo;COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN TIMES OF  CRISIS&rdquo;<br \/> (I Congress of the USB, Rome; June 7th)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> In the first place I would like to thank in the name of my trade union, LAB, from the Basque Country, the invitation from the USB to participate in 1st Congress of your trade union. LAB and USB are two brother trade unions who share the same ideology and commit to a class-based, socio-political and confrontational trade unionism. For that, both of us are affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), and for that we mutually support each other. For example, this past May 30th a General Strike was carried out in the Basque Country, which received the support of the USB and the rest of the trade unions present here today; equally, this past May 17th we organized in the Basque Country, in Bilbao, a conference about the worldwide and European capitalist crisis in collaboration with the CESTES Foundation, in which Luciano Vasapollo and James Petras participated.<\/p>\n<p> LAB is one of the largest trade unions in the Basque Country. We form a part of the pro-independence left in our country and we are present in all sectors of the economy. We are especially strong in sectors such as administration, industry and education. <\/p>\n<p> The motive of today&#8217;s Conference is &ldquo;Collective Bargaining in the Phase of Capitalist Crisis&rdquo;, and I will try to centre on that in my intervention.<\/p>\n<p> The capitalist crisis is being used in all of Europe, and especially the European Union, as an excuse to totally destroy the model of labour relations and the social model, to install a more savage form of capitalism. One after another, they are imposing different reforms, all of them with perverse effects for the working class: raising the age of retirement, arbitrary firings, labour reforms that increase uncertainty, privatization of health care and education, etc.<\/p>\n<p> At this moment, due to the subject that occupies us, we will detain ourselves on labour reform and collective bargaining that has been carried out in the Spanish state recently. <\/p>\n<p> In the first place, it must be said that it is a labour reform that has been imposed in a totally antidemocratic way in the Basque Country, because the Basque working class and other popular sectors (students, pensioners, etc.) and the majority trade unions in the Basque Country (LAB among them) have been opposed to it with different mobilizations (the latest being the General Strike on May 30th), but the Spanish government has imposed it against our will. <\/p>\n<p> Given that the reality, not just political, but economical, social, labour and trade union, is totally different in the Basque Country because the conciliatory Spanish trade unions CCOO and UGT only represent 30% of the workers in our land, LAB and the Basque trade unions have been demanding a Basque Framework for Labour Relations and Social Security, that would allow us to decide these subjects in the Basque Country. This is a permanent demand of ours. <\/p>\n<p> Also, this reform is totally favourable to management because it supposes complete instability in labour relations in favour of management. It facilitates to the extreme and it makes lest costly the firing of workers and annuls the right to collective bargaining. <\/p>\n<p> Up till now, businesses, to continue maintaining their quotas of benefits, have mainly destroyed employment. The rates of unemployment have come to be unsustainable  (26.6% in the Spanish state; 17.5% in the Basque Country, when only four years ago it was 6%). Now with this new reform they try to reduce salaries and worsen the labour conditions of the workers.<\/p>\n<p> This reform supposes the total destruction of the spheres and negotiation that we have had until now in the Basque Country (Euskal Herria, in the Basque language) for various questions:<\/p>\n<p> 1.- It is limited to the stability of the agreements to one year. It is a serious attack to the rules of play of collective bargaining. Stability is the legal guarantee so that an agreement maintains its application until its substitution by another, that way avoiding empty spaces of regulation. <\/p>\n<p> This limitation is what has made that the majority of the provincial agreements in the Basque Country will not remain in vigour this coming July 7th. In case of not negotiating a new agreement they will apply the analogous state agreement, or in its defect, the Workers&#8217; Statute. <\/p>\n<p> This will bring with it that salaries and labour conditions will worsen, since the agreements at the level of the Spanish state since labour conditions are generally worse than those that exist in the Basque Country. It is definitely a bigger deregulation and more conflict in labour relations.<\/p>\n<p> 2.- Our model of collective bargaining has been structured, in a general character, in the provincial sphere. Agreements where the correlation of forces have permitted it have been improved in the sphere of the company. A sphere that in no case should worsen that of the provincial.<\/p>\n<p> This model of negotiation, has been attacked from above, by state agreements and from below by the applicative preference that is given to businesses. <\/p>\n<p> 3.- It facilitates the &ldquo;lowering of salaries&rdquo;. The &ldquo;lowering of salaries&rdquo; is the possibility given businesses to not apply, almost in a unilateral manner, through obligatory arbitration, what was agreed upon by the parts. The agreement loses its value.<\/p>\n<p> Collective bargaining regulates salary and labour conditions of the workers. It is therefore an instrument for redistributing wealth and of maintaining employment.  A main tool in trade union action for the collective defence of the workers.<\/p>\n<p> Even more if possible, in a country like ours, which lacks competencies in the socio-labour sphere. It is true, that to be able to neutralize in their totality, the effects of the reforms that are imposed on us from Spain, we need full competencies (Basque Framework of Labour Relations and Social Protection), it isn&#8217;t less true that collective bargaining can play an important role in minimizing these effects.<\/p>\n<p> It is for that, that LAB from the beginning, has defended our own framework of collective bargaining, to defend our sphere of negotiation. This passes for defending the provincial agreements with prevalence facing the state agreement and by neutralizing the most perverse effects of the labour reform, fighting in the provincial agreements and  in the businesses. <\/p>\n<p> The labour reform that has been carried out in the Spanish state has broken the little equilibrium that existed in labour relations, in prejudice of the working class. The position of management is one of comfort, of arrogance. They are maintaining the negotiations blocked in order to improve their position before the abyss that July 7th could suppose without any kind of binding agreement that guarantees that guarantees that the already existing provincial agreements are maintained, at least until they sign others that substitute them.<\/p>\n<p> Changing this attitude will only be possible thanks to our struggle and determination, thanks to the tensions and disputes that we are able to generate. Fighting against the labour reform is going to be a difficult fight and constant in time, but in the Basque Country there is a solid base for it, just as was demonstrated by the General Strike  that this past May 30th LAB and other Basque trade unions led, and to which the Spanish trade unions CCOO and UGT opposed, who once again opted to side with management. <\/p>\n<p> Apart from the General Strikes (in the Basque Country we have already made 6 in the last 4 years), we are holding dozens of demonstrations and sectoral strikes. For example, this past May 24th there was a sectoral strike in the metal sector in the province of Gipuzkoa in defence of the provincial agreement which shut down more than 80% of the sector, just as management itself recognised. Also, in June there will be new strikes in the metal sector.<\/p>\n<p> From LAB we believe that the struggle is the way, also in negotiation, to achieve the most beneficial labour conditions possible for the working class. Capitalism and the Troika are trying to take away everything, also social, labour and trade union rights, and for that it is essential to fight to maintain the right to collectively bargain our labour conditions with the end of uniting forces and achieving a better position before management.<\/p>\n<p> For that it is also very important the transfer of information among European trade unions and, as far  as possible, to coordinate our demands and struggles.<\/p>\n<p> This conference today can be a first positive step to strengthen this coordination the trade unions that are here, with the help of the WFTU.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Igor Urrutikoetxea (Member of the Executive Committee of the trade union LAB, Basque Country)<\/strong><br \/> &nbsp;<\/div>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width:180px; float:left; padding-left:15px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Swift; \"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 51, 0); \"><span style=\"font-size: medium; \">LAB SAREAN<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/> {module[111]}<\/div>\n<p> &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAB sindikatuak Italiako Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) sindikatuaren I.
