Since we welcome the election of Ignacio Fernandez Toxo as the new Secretary General of CCOO. Without doubt, the CCOO Confederal Congress IX is a turning point in the history of the union not by the election of a new Secretary General, but because the event has served to break congress with the dynamics of exclusion and marginalization of the sensitivities criticism during recent years had resisted the conservative drift of the CNT leadership of the union.
In this sense, the integration of colleagues belonging to the critical sectors in the daily management of the union with responsibilities defined and therefore being part of the CNT leadership represents the triumph of pluralism and the recognition of different ideological realities existing in the internal union CCOO. Critical Sector CCOO has had its three secretariats of the Confederal Executive: Membership (Carmen Chacón), Health (Pedro Linares) and Research, Development and Innovation (Salce Elvira). Notably, on the other hand, the Secretariat of Social Economy and Self corresponding to Jordi Ribó and that means giving into confederal union address the critical sensibility of Catalunya. This has been diluted and distorted the policy of repression dissenting voices against the successive addresses confederal, first to Antonio Gutiérrez and especially with Jose Maria Fidalgo, have been held since the Sixth Congress of CCOO Confederal 1996 when it consummated the shift to the right of union opposition against Marcelino Camacho and colleagues that because it is organized in the critical sector of CCOO.
Similarly, it has been the IX Congress of CCOO Confederal Congress farewell Agustín Moreno, leader of the Critical Sector CCOO Confederal Executive Member since 1976 and Secretary of Union Action in 1996. So is the IX Congress of CCOO Confederal a Congress could be defined as historic as far as they were earlier congresses as VI IV 1996 or 1987. The Sixth Congress was, as mentioned in previous lines, the culmination of a drift to the right of association that began in part from the IV Congress over in the General Secretariat of Marcelino Camacho giving way to Antonio Gutiérrez. Do not forget that even hold the post of honorary president since 1987 Marcelino Camacho CCOO soon distance themselves from the political union of Antonio Gutierrez. In this context, the Confederal Congress IX the beginning of a new stage in CCOO which is to represent a turn to the left trade union in collective bargaining social dialogue, movement, recovery of the organic, internal democracy and membership participation. That is, the goal continues to be to strengthen the socio-political and class CCOO, so diminished in recent years.
is therefore essential that the new majority confederal emerging in Congress be consolidated as a permanent union reality and future. Ignacio Fernandez Toxo remember that the General Secretariat won by a narrow margin of 28 votes against the candidacy of José María Fidalgo and while it has brought him a majority in the Confederal Executive Committee is yet to conform to the Confederation Council waiting for the Congress of the respective federations and territories. Because, some people question or less disguised way not even accept the outcome of the congress itself. Not surprisingly, the failure of the merger between the federations and Metal FITEQA have to subscribe in the attempt of certain sectors and groups of power to torpedo the process of integration and approved at the IX plurality Confederal Congress by a majority of delegates. Precisely for this reason, the good news is nominating a candidate alternative to the General Secretariat of the Federation of Metal CCOO-Catalonia because it endorses the resolutions of the Confederal Congress IX and it opens the door to new trade union practices in the within the federation.
respect to the trade union situation in Catalonia, noted that the Ninth Congress of the CONC staged over in the General Secretariat of Joan Coscubiela by Joan Carles Gallego, member of technical background from the area of \u200b\u200bresources and services CONC. In any case, regardless of the abilities of the new Secretary-General believe that having been elected with only 58% of votes should serve as an incentive to transfer the exercise CONC inclusive and consensus in Ignacio Fernandez Toxo confederal level. A more pressing need and urgent in the light of the final configuration of the secretariats in the Executive Committee the CONC which have excluded one of the sensitivities of the union in Catalonia, a situation that augurs a period of internal instability within the CONC.
addition, the Congress of the CONC should underline how significant fact the low representation of the sensitivity fidalguista, reaching a meager 20% and reducing its presence as FITEQA federations and local unions Comfia or as the Baix Llobregat. Not surprisingly, we can not ignore the war that opened up between José María Fidalgo and address of CONC as a result of challenges by the confederal former Secretary General of the dates of the Ninth Congress of the CONC. The reason given by José María Fidalgo alluded to Congress of CONC were held after the confederate congress and not before as required by Article 27.6 of the Statutes of the Confederation and the congressional calendar approved by the Confederation Council in March 2008. Still, it is noted that the congress of the CONC traditionally always been held before the Confederal Congress and that such uniqueness had become commonplace and accepted in the union to ensure the historic balance between the CONC and confederal. Finally, the union's Fair Commission ruled in favor of the CONC to decline jurisdiction in the proceedings but this did not prevent the wide gap that is created among most of the CONC and José María Fidalgo, and that was the active support of the direction of the candidate CONC Ignacio Fernandez Toxo the Confederal Congress IX.
has coincided holding congresses CCOO with a deep social and economic situation serious. Coping with the consequences that the process of production and economic slowdown are causing among the working class is obviously one of the greatest challenges facing the new direction of CCOO. And in this case union policy has to start from the premise: that multinationals do not take advantage of the situation of crisis and the decline in industrial activity more precarious labor conditions and social workers. The increase in the unemployment rate up to 11.33% in the third quarter of 2008 bodes extremely challenging year 2009 in terms of employment when the central government itself has acknowledged that unemployment will exceed four million unemployed rate standing around 16%, which would mean the destruction of 600,000 jobs. Thus, it is difficult the situation facing the new management of CCOO. However, the change in the union suggests that the reality of social decline in the face from new patterns and union objectives.
Therefore, from the PSUC viu, we again reaffirm CCOO union as our reference as well adopted in the past XIII Congress and National Conference Working World while we encourage our membership to participate in the new CCOO to reactivate the weight and influence of Communists in the union, as an unavoidable security defending the interests of the working class.
