After 20 years of existence, the Federation of the CNT PTT (postal services workers union) is now forbidden at La Poste (Postal services). This is the consequence of an agreement concluded in january 27th 2006 between La Poste management and bosses and Unions which have representativity yet are a minority ( CFDT, FO, CFTC, UNSA and CGT). Funny enough this agreement was signed "to facilitate and develop the social dialogue" (while they gaged any contestation?!).
Since then, La Poste did not hesitate to sanction a parisian comrade by giving him 15 days off work ( no wages) because he handed CNT leaflets at his workplace. Other workers are threatened.
Behind the CNT, it is class struggle syndicalism being attacked, a syndicalism opposed to restructuring and privatisation. No doubt that this is just a step toward the total censorship of all contestation of all sectors of society. Soon, other public services will be attacked, not to mention the private sector! Only will survive mainstream unions which will not be opposed to those attacks against workers. But we will not let this happen. This is why the whole of the CNT unions are calling for a day of action on saturday 25th november2006.
