Text intervention Toxo in the Congress of Deputies


Hearing Ignacio Fernandez Toxo, Secretary General of CCOO, the Permanent Commission for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Toledo Pact in Congress of Deputies.

access to social benefits for people in need, through financial or in-kind benefits, free or below market price, improve their quality of life of people, and can positively affect the stability of the economy to limit the negative effects of the cycles that periodically affect production. Their implementation in general in most European countries, including Spain, has been actively at current levels of social and economic cohesion. In our case this set of economic measures or in kind, articulated through the various administrations, central, regional or local, is an important determinant of our social model we need to strengthen further.

In this hearing, I start by moving to this Committee our conviction that preserving political and social consensus on the evolution of the pension system is the best recipe to keep your current strength and adopt, with the serenity and anticipation sufficient, necessary measures to ensure sustainability and improve their levels of social protection.

Paper political representatives, through the parliamentary groups represented in Parliament, to determine the main priorities and objectives shared core is essential to maintain the commitments of the 1995 Agreement.

So is the role of social partners with the Government, within the framework of tripartite social dialogue, agreed to decide the specific changes and adjustments in the system. Fulfill the role it assigns the English Constitution, and further argue, not exclusive, the system through social security contributions.

In this context, the CCOO commitment to the pension system is sufficiently established to date. We participated in all agreements signed since 1996. We are proud of it and we reiterate our commitment to contribute in the framework of social dialogue with the objective of maintaining the sustainability of the system, while strengthening its capacity as a basic tool of social protection.

The key objectives should be: to achieve maximum population coverage with a pension system that constitutes the main income and sufficient in a context of present and future financial sustainability, consistent with a significant improvement in quality of life of the population English and in particular the pensioners of the system.

This, we believe that actions must be kept permanent, global perspective, criteria for early and long-term forecast, avoiding short-sighted or short-term analysis and addressing basic social function and needs to which it is called upon to answer the pension system in its current configuration: pay more pension , taller and longer.

We can not ignore the difference in social protection effort that we still maintain in relation to our immediate surroundings. In 2006 we spent 6.6 percentage points less, measured as a percentage of GDP than the EU average (20.9% vs. 27.5%). In this regard, it should be noted that our Social Protection System not limited to pensions, but these are its backbone, the social protection policies to provide comprehensive care must also articulate the line measures to improve the protection of health, social services, etc. As for the pension system itself, our delay on Europe is also considerable, in 2006 we spent 8.8% of GDP compared to 12.1% in the EU-15, or 11.9% in the EU 27.

worth recalling the previous data in a time when we have a few days in which the pension system returns to be filed, loosely, as a cause for concern because of the economic crisis we suffer.

Our pension system is in good health, which does not preclude recognizing its financial stability, maintaining the current surplus for the longest period possible, the allocations to the Reserve Fund, are circumstances that need to maintain a sufficient number of contributors Social Security. The decrease in unemployment figures unacceptable suffering today, increasing the employment rate of women, the increasing contribution of the immigrant population, are fundamental tools for maintaining the current good health of the system, which is a clear consequence of the process which opened with the signing of the Pact of Toledo and the subsequent successive agreements reached within the framework Social Dialogue.

system deficit is not a problem in the short term. The data provided by Social Security point to maintain the surplus in 2009 in the pension system despite the reduction of rates and slower growth in the contribution base, partially offset by the increase in prices resulting from unemployment benefits by the State. Moreover, the sharp slowdown in inflation also means lower pension commitments revaluation.

We should not mix this positive imbalance of the pension system with the Social Security situation in terms of national accounts ie including social protection for unemployment in its entirety, also with the resources for active policies, which have now intensely the need to protect the growing number of unemployed workers.

Moreover, we note that the surpluses of the pension system did not start in 1999-2000. For three decades these have been absorbed by other expenditure items (universal health care until 1997, additions to minimum until now ...) Some studies estimate that if these surpluses have been above the Reserve Fund, it would exceed 34 % of GDP, rather than the important but clearly less 5.28% of our Reserve Fund.

Moreover, the delay in completing the process of separating the sources of funding and taking social security contributions under other headings, which reasonably should be financed by taxes (personal costs of Social Security, for example ), they still room for improvement in revenues over 7,000 million Euros, with 2008 data. Therefore, some preach impending deficit, either through ignorance or by conviction that this argument will help bring the pension system to lower coverage levels, it still handles more than reasonable to be avoided.

Security Social is one of our most powerful tools for anti-cyclical and we should strengthen our confidence in it.

The above statements are fully consistent with a calm assessment of the demographic tensions evident in the medium and long term. We are a country of the lead pack about our life expectancy and that has an undoubted effect on pensions to be paid for more years.

also makes provision demographic periods of heightened tension on the number of people with access to a pension at different times but with uneven impacts over time. Following the retirement of the generation born in the war and years immediate, subsequent generations born in times of sharp increase in birth rates and, therefore, require a rigorous policy to continue to monitor the financial health of the system. However, then will other less number of pensioners as a result of falling birth rates in recent decades. In the above, must be added the impact of the incorporation of immigrants that are helping to finance the system now and that logical consequence will benefit from further pension rights.

growth of economic activity is an essential variable to consider. Evolution GDP is the key and still dealing with different scenarios, the interplay of aging - in mid-century the number of pensioners will have increased substantially - and low birth rates, we do have the conviction that we must continue to act in medium and long term, to maintain financial balance.

However, even though the depth of the crisis and its long life time cause some short-term deficit, it would be timely. Delivery systems like ours are sustainable in any case. If the prices were not enough, the State guarantees the system. It is individual rights.

In this scenario, There is no scope for lowering social security contributions, the cost is about average for the countries of our environment and therefore does not diminish our competitiveness, because every point of contribution is 3,800 million euros in charges due. Therefore, a 3% cut means losing revenue 11,400 million, a 2% are 7,600 million and 5%, as it has come to ask at some point in uncontrolled euphoria just € 19,000 million.

Social Security, in terms of the pension system is in deficit, but if you take the wrong decisions can be made to enter into short term difficulties. The purpose of these requests for a reduction of contributions is to transfer income guarantees of future pensioners, through the Reserve Fund (€ 57.322 million at the end of 2008) to the income statements of companies. The level of unemployment that we suffer is not due to labor costs.

Increased rate and average income of employees are structural measures maintenance. Increasing the employment rate and productivity goes through a change in our production model. Do what is necessary for the production model of our country is based on competitive opportunities offered by high value jobs, instead of relying on comparative failed intensive activities labor and social cuts, is also a strategic commitment to the pension system.

A production model based on low labor costs affects the design of a pension system. If wage costs as a result of higher value-added labor input are higher possibilities of financing the system and improving its performance are also higher.

Specific measures that can be considered should include the improvement of coverage and benefits they need, and further deter fraud and the purchase of services. Moreover, each action taken in respect of revenue and expenses of the system must pass the screening test medium and long term.

be very aware of the conclusions of the Commission whose work followed with great interest. However, we would point our views on various sections:

Other issues:

"It's not a priority to address the delay mandatory retirement age. We were able to create innovative figures such as flexible retirement, which can still be developed to allow full access to voluntary early retirement from 61 years. This flexible retirement outputs different needs, combining the possibility of early retirement voluntarily lengthen the working life. We must continue to stimulate elongation while voluntary act on the financial balance of benefits for early retirement reduction factors which remain a margin for downward currently situated at 6 to 7.5% when its point of equilibrium would establish a 5 to 6.5%.

"Early retirement, in the terms can be generalized from the age of 61 without serious financial system and to include public employees now have no access to it.

-reducing minimum retirement age for persons working in arduous activities, toxic, unhealthy or dangerous, should be developed to sectors where warranted. In this sense, it is known the request of trade unions to address this issue for the staff of the construction work.

-study in detail the trends of new pension and labor market characteristics, changes in the activity rate and the average contribution base, are elements that determine the parametric formulas of access and benefit calculation .

"In these parametric reforms, if any, should better protect people working out of the market with 50 or more years. Despite having long contribution careers, their pensions are heavily penalized, as a result of weight in recent years in which are concentrated often lower their prices, resulting from the receipt of benefits and unemployment benefits. Anticipating

-source separation process and funded from general taxation personnel costs of Social Security, are appropriate measures to improve the quality and quantity of the financial structure of the system.

-Keeping the legal guarantee for increasing pensions in real CPI has a double interest, to maintain and strengthen the purchasing power of pensioners for their own welfare and at the time, to strengthen domestic demand for goods and services.

-Continue the process of matching the minimum wage (SMI) to stand at 60% of average net wage, an increase of contributions to them a financial boost to the system and a source of increase in average pensions.

-assess the impact to the system in terms of increased revenue and greater commitment of belonging to the same by people with above-average wages, a reasonable increase in maximum contribution base. The same must be related to the evolution of the maximum pension to receive the system.

-must unlock the process of convergence of schemes that despite repeated commitments to address it, still no effectively. Make special mention of the situation of the Special Agricultural Scheme for employees who have not yet begun to see the fulfillment of commitments under the Agreed Measures on Social Security signed in 2006.

"The improvement in birth rates, which allows us a more balanced population structure in the future, should be a basic objective. The development of social and economic policies in this area is still pending in Spain. Measures such as direct aid for dependent children, tax deductions related to the number of children, ... taking into account the higher level of costs of people with more of them, is still a matter that makes us look with envy at the major European countries with established and stable policies to finance the benefits that are caused by this plea.

"There are situations that must be analyzed to assess the suitability of its maintenance or correction. It is regulation around figures such as partial retirement or survivor benefits compatibility and SOVI. In both cases, economic benefits is higher than the benchmark and do not have access, in fact or law, all people entering retirement. Partial retirement has been addressed the last reform, changing their characteristics by unanimous agreement in the framework of social dialogue. Settings, designed to impose greater conditions of access to these services, call during transitional periods for implementation. Behind them, we analyze its impact and whether or not to take other actions.

-complementary pension schemes should remain encouraged. Its function is to complement the public system enough so that it serves to achieve a replacement rate of close to final salary and an instrument of long-term savings. Are these items related to the improvement of social protection policies that justify support these instruments. It is therefore necessary to advance the separation of employment systems, which guarantee the social function and the only capable generalization of these systems in the whole population, and the individual. Should be greater stability of employment systems, in response to mobility restrictions that characterize them, with more stable endpoints and appropriate to reduce the impact of the high volatility of financial markets. The benefits in the form of income must be encouraged to adequately fulfill the goal of these systems. Tax incentives should be reordered, given that the current dual structure of income tax, distinguishing el tratamiento de las rentas del trabajo y las del capital mobiliario, ha reducido el atractivo comparativo de estos instrumentos de previsión social complementaria.

How Stomach Flu Affects Your Period

May 1: Speak, you may not be paying the crisis


Manifiesto del 1º de mayo del PCE.

Como todos los años, el Partido Comunista de España en este 1º de mayo, fecha histórica del movimiento obrero, cargada de luchas, reivindicaciones y avances laborales, sale de nuevo a la calle para plantar cara a la crisis. Una crisis que no es sólo económica, es ecológica, alimentaria, energética y de valores. Es una crisis global del sistema capitalista que ha agotado su ciclo histórico and has been incapable of meeting the basic needs of human beings. Sinks neoliberal conception of the economy and the market as the sole and supreme controller of the system and our societies.

The current international financial crisis is preceded by a process of enormous growth of the sector, a total absence of regulation and fast and lucrative returns of a market characterized by opacity, by speculation and wild. The absolute dominance of the financial sector over the productive without creating real wealth for social purposes has ended up popping by breaking the system and thus dragging the entire global economy. Financial bubble burst has been throwing for a few millionaires benefits while creating the largest social inequalities across the globe.

And this global crisis hits hardest at the English economy's structural problems arising from the production model and the growth of our country in recent decades. Brick economy, tourism, consumption, foreign debt and family, accompanied by a deregulated labor market, precarious, low wages, lack of training and safety have led to the current social drama. Three million five hundred thousand unemployed, of which more than one-third does not charge any subsidy, swatting those weaker sections: immigration, youth and women. The mortgage payments stifles the economy of working families. Medium and small businesses have no credit to continue their economic activity. And the working men and women feel and the anguish of a future without jobs and economic benefits.

response, spokesmen and supporters of the capitalist system out defenders of free markets, are now directed the state to bear them their excesses, pay your debts, sanitize their banks to regain the high rates of gain past. Again, as always, privatize profit, socialize the losses.

We talk anew, to moderate, ordering capitalism, changing some things to change nothing and carrying their impact on the working class. We hear and proposals that go in that direction: more flexible labor market, lower the pay, lower taxes to the employer, extend the retirement age or freeze salaries. We say, loud and clear that the crisis has not been generated in the labor market and therefore we will not allow any cuts on labor rights so hard won.

The problem is capitalism itself, and no lasting solution can come from it. For the Communist Party of Spain out of the crisis must be a democratic outcome that benefits the Most of the population and start the construction of socialism in the XXI century. From the political left and trade union there are alternatives to the crisis, we proposed possible, credible and enforceable in the day, we make them a reality by encouraging participation of workers and workers in a process of social change and transformation, with debate, organization and mobilization. PCE

For the short-and medium-term move, among others: the momentum of stable employment in the public sector, public credit and banking, progressive tax reform, protection of historical labor rights, better protection of unemployment, strengthening of universal public services and implementation of the 35-hour working day without loss of pay.

When the assembly collapses neoliberal, it is time to reflect, to organize and take action for a better world. The change will necessarily be a real participation in public affairs and within companies. In this May 1, we reaffirm human values \u200b\u200bof solidarity and social justice, we set, again, the socialist horizon, we call all our membership and to all workers to participate actively in party work. Viva

on 1 May. Viva
the working class.

May 1, that the working class does not pay the crisis


Manifesto May 1 PSUC viu.

celebrated this year on 1 May in a context of deep economic crisis, a situation that is causing the deterioration of social conditions of the working class and the continuing rise in unemployment as a result of the declining stage of production which mainly affects sectors such as construction and industry. Times are hard for the working class. From PSUC viu find a reality that has long been noted and reported, the employer is using the situation of economic crisis to undermine the labor rights of workers and women.

That is, privatize profits and socialize losses. Do not forget that in the years of English economic growth in corporate profits rose an indecent manner, by 73% between 1999 and 2006, while the working class lost purchasing power, 4% less between 1995 and 2005. Now that the English economy has been growing by the contradictions inherent in capitalist system (financial crisis and the growth model), the aim of employers is that the working class pay the consequences of a crisis that has generated.

job loss today is the most dramatic effect of the crisis. Pending publication of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) of the first quarter of 2009, estimates put the number of unemployed at around 4 million and the unemployment rate at 17%, a trend of gradual increase of unemployment, significant in the evolution of unemployment data in each of the first three months of the year. In this sense, the figures are bleak. Only the first three months of 2009 have destroyed about 650,000 jobs, but more worrisome is the outlook for 2009 and 2010 are to reach even the 5 million unemployed with an unemployment rate of 22%.

The outlook is ominous and it is also for the labor market in Catalonia, second community with the highest number of unemployed and nearly half a million. Not surprisingly, Catalonia suffered in recent years a stream of factory closures, job layoffs and relocations, a dynamic that is gradually eroding the productive capacity of the industrial fabric of Catalonia. Experienced labor disputes at big companies like Seat, Nissan, Mini, or Panrico show how much the employer is willing to perform, under the umbrella of the crisis, a crackdown on labor rights of workers. The Seat is a paradigm case conditions when making a new model to freeze wages of the workforce in a company that 2008 record profits of 44 million euros and will receive about 300 million euros of public administration by way of assistance to the automotive sector. Similarly, the multinational company Nissan in Spain, with 300 million profit in the last five years, announced last October, the presentation of a portfolio of employment regulation to fire 1,680 workers in the Zona Franca plant .

are the ravages of a crisis in Catalonia is hitting hard on the working class and that extends beyond the disputes in major corporations. Consider that for every dismissal in a lead company must account for three dismissals but in the network of suppliers. Therefore, we can not ignore the suffering fragile component companies or small and medium enterprises. Are recent examples of companies like Stephen Ikeda, Simon, ACC Spain, Exide Technologies, Eurosite Tubs, EGO, Mahle, EMS, Ruffini, Robert Bosch, Indo or Delphi. From PSUC viu sympathize with all the templates over the past year have fought for their jobs and their labor and social rights while demanding that the Government of the Generalitat Entesa more active industrial policy to generate quality jobs and halt the decline that the industry currently faces in Catalunya.

Ambitions for a job quality stable and should remain one of the cornerstones of the social demands of the political left and trade unions. The English labor market not only continues to present the same social and labor deficits before the crisis, ie a high rate of temporary employment and female and youth unemployment, but the situation has worsened despite the increase in unemployment of temporary employment continues to hover around 30% compared to 17% of the EU average, unemployment among women stood in February this year at 16%, five points higher than that recorded in February 2008, and unemployment among those under 25 years the rate has reached 32%, ten points more than last year and well above the 17% who have half the euro zone countries. At the same time, we can not ignore the job insecurity that affect immigrant workers, a group that suffers a temporary employment rate of 44% and legal conditions and social vulnerability inadmissible in a social state of law.

Spain is in the whole European Union the leading country in constant insecurity and deteriorating labor market. This confirms the fragility of our labor market and a production model in recent years was based almost exclusively on real estate construction and services, thus disassociating the speculative economy and financial the productive economy, a fact that together with the financial source of the crisis has made the impact of the current international economic situation have proved more virulent and intensity in our country. In parallel, the structural weakness of the English labor market reflects the state's own social shortcomings. In Spain, social spending is still insufficient in the context of Social Security surplus and increasing social vulnerability of thousands of families without unemployment benefit and any support for welfare. Thus, the total of registered unemployed at employment offices, nearly one million receive no public income and 830,000 families who are facing 2009 with all members unemployed. It is time, therefore, substantially increase spending on social matters and to extend the period of unemployment benefit to address the impoverishment of livelihoods of millions of unemployed.

basic principles of neoliberalism have failed. It has removed the taint of self-regulation of the economy without state intervention and today are increasingly governments are in the need for concrete rescue plans to safeguard the accounts of financial institutions, developing, well, nationalization policies as an antidote to the economic downturn and the collapse of the assets of banks. This has happened in the course of neoliberalism Eden being the U.S. government the first to intervene in financial institutions such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or recently with the purchase of 36% of the shares of Citigroup, the latter case the government has become U.S. the largest shareholder of one of the largest banks internationally. And while the goal of such policies is to protect the most powerful has proven the fallacy and the emptiness of unjust capitalist system that generates misery and unable to correct its own flaws but is by public arbitration. From

PSUC viu hacemos un llamamiento a nuestra militancia y al conjunto de la ciudadanía a impulsar la más amplia resistencia a la crisis y al intento de la patronal de que seamos los trabajadores y trabajadoras los que paguemos el precio de la actual situación económica, a través del desarrollo de acciones en los centros de trabajo, debates, encuentros ciudadanos y manifestaciones.

Nuestro llamamiento lo hacemos extensible a las movilizaciones del 1º de mayo participando en las manifestaciones convocadas por CCOO y UGT en Catalunya así como a la jornada convocada por los mismos sindicatos para el próximo 14 de mayo en Madrid en favor de una Europa social, en demanda del mantenimiento del empleo y con la intención de expresar a strong and firm NO to permanent blackmail of the management.

LIVE THE WORKING CLASS!.

LIVE MAY 1st!.

Can I Freeze Cooked Chow Mein

Interview with Ramón Górriz, Secretary of the CCOO union action


Workers World, April 2009.

Aragones GM worker Zaragoza, CCOO militant from the seventies, and veteran militant Marxist Górriz Ramon is currently the Secretary of Labor Action. Linked to the Mining and Metallurgy Federation from its beginnings as CCOO union, is in charge of taking the class unionism to the most vulnerable sectors of our economy. United Left activist since its foundation and occasional contributor to Workers World, is a member of Federal Political Council of UI from its Ninth Assembly. Workers World

: It shows a clear shift of risk and responsibility of those who have led and managed the crisis to workers laid off through policy advocacy and social adjustment. "Against this, what strategy to develop CCOO? Ramón

Górriz : There is a clear historical continuity of the position of the employers over recent history. For the economic right, in time of crisis the problem is in the labor market, so that only one answer: more flexibility. CCOO rejects this position of the employer, and will oppose any position to defend a supposed solution to the crisis resulting from the loss of rights. The economic problem and work in Spain must be sought in their own economic structures, for which defends CCOO short term solution to the crisis to pass by three priorities: protecting jobs, increased social protection and change the production model. For this to happen to a State Pact for Employment.

This change of economic model we advocate involves firstly the implementation of a new fiscal policy, to recover its escalation, with the aim of increasing the resources needed for implementation of an industrial emergency plan, the development of advanced scientific and technological policy, the implementation of the Law Unit and the strengthening of the FP and the entire public education. A change in the production model, therefore, that places the public sector as its centerpiece.

MO: But the crisis is not so much a moral issue of entrepreneurship as a structural issue. We live in an economic model that requires low labor costs for expansion. A Covenant of State as proposed by CCOO seems difficult. RG

.: It is clear that the crisis is the result of that we have bad businessmen. The structural problem identified related to the proposed change in the production model to which I referred. The crisis is not overcome unless we change the growth model that Spain possesses. With that goal CCOO proposes a State Pact, in which specific sectors of the business may also be agreed. Within the bosses are different views and CCOO works in social dialogue with the aim of more conservative positions are isolated and antisocial.

MO: The last weekend Felipe Gonzalez urged to "take the cranes as a way to overcome the crisis. While Zapatero's economic policy focuses on the development of an ambitious plan of infrastructure. Everything points to what the government does not question the current economic model. CCOO How do you approach this situation? RG

.: The Government acts in an impromptu and somewhat contradictory. On the one hand Zapatero announced that the Government will maintain the benefits and will not perform any labor reform, CCOO statements from a positive value. On the other, on 6 March, approved by the account a series of measures against the advice of the unions. Measures are based on recipes and failed as the use of subsidies to employers and the commitment to part-time contract in a country, like Spain, has an production structure that can be used the contract to support the economy and lead to situations of discrimination and inequality among workers.

MO: After the measures approved on March 6 by the Government. What is the status of the social dialogue? RG

.: You can see three positions. CCOO defended by reaching an Alliance for Jobs that last all term, a kind of defense by the CEOE of a "full program", and finally a highly publicized government's attitude for fear of losing the next European elections and, therefore, aimed to give an impression of "government that makes decisions." In this framework is in which we understand the measures adopted on 6 March.

MO: It seems clear that if a deepening commitment to the model, sooner or later, it is inevitable that the government is in favor of taking steps flexibilizing labor market. With that perspective, do you think right to exclude a general strike? RG

.: The general strike is a tool CCOO workers and therefore never discarded. General strikes are called against an assault on the rights of workers or in defense of a particular social or economic plan. CCOO will continue defending the policy dialogue in defense of jobs, increase social protection and changing the production model. At the moment this is where we work. But if what is proposed is a policy of job cuts and loss of rights as a solution to the crisis, then CCOO not rule out a general strike in response.

MO: It seems, therefore establishing a dialectic of change-continuity which is linked to another dialog-mobilization. You talked about how CCOO focuses its work on social dialogue. But what role do the demonstrations in this period? RG

.: CCOO UGT with is conducting various demonstrations throughout the state, events that should not be so isolated or testimonial but are part of a sustained and well planned. The answer to them is still very important. Manifestations such as Zaragoza or Barcelona from March 14 and make it clear. In Madrid there is planned a demonstration on April 19 and a European response on 14 May in Madrid organized by the CES. The demonstrations are central to avoid cutting measure workers' rights at a time, which like the present, some want to take to continue the same policies that have led to the current disaster.

MO: So you talk about a tactic of building strength, under which aim immediately? RG

.: The imposing a negotiated solution to the crisis through a compact term, what we call the Employment Pact, which in addition to defend jobs and increased social protection involves an production model change and fiscal policy. For this CCOO works in social awareness, mobilization and dialogue forums.

MO: However it is clear that there is a power bloc, which means that the problems of the crisis in the labor market, and policies linking cheaper labor costs to job creation. RG

.: If the output is reduced rights, will strike.

MO: Currently under discussion is also the national agreement on Collective Bargaining (ANC). with employers. In what situation is? RG

.: CCOO argues that the purchasing power of workers is not affected by the crisis. The crisis has led to wage loss, so we reject the position of the employer of a wage increase of 1% 0a. We are facing a crisis of demand, making wage moderation as a pro-cyclical measure. From the employer argues that the crisis poses a uniqueness not covered by the ANC signed. The only exceptional have been the main business benefits of 2006-2008. CCOO will not allow the crisis is the excuse they use the employer to impose a policy of job cuts.

MO: You make further reference as CEOE policy to labor cuts for wage moderation. Why? RG

.: For the employer the ANC is a kind of vase. Their real aim is to impose a policy on social dialogue based on three measures: lowering social security contributions by 3% to control absenteeism go to mutual and finally, the flexibility of the contract (the "contract crisis) and the legalization of private placement. You may give in to the ANC but only in exchange for imposing these measures. CCOO it defends against a wage increase of 2% with the aim of increasing the purchasing power of workers, along with an increase of social protection and defense of a change in the production model.

MO: You mentioned the convening of the CES. What gives value CCOO to articulate an international response to the crisis? RG

.: The next May 14 in Madrid converge class unionism in Southern Europe, as in other cities similar demonstrations will take place the same day. CCOO understand that discourses of "nationalism" are nothing more than economic ways that try to impose anti-labor policies making use of political nationalism, racism and xenophobia. In moments like this, if we do not respond to social and leftist European level, which will be a strengthening of nationalism, and therefore, policies contrary to the interests of workers.

MO: CCOO attaches great importance to the tax issue. What CCOO defends policy on this? RG

.: CCOO opposes any economic policy based on lower taxes and lower social security contributions of employers. Now, in times of crisis, the state has no resources to address the social and economic consequences of the current situation and the policy of subsidies to lower prices could jeopardize their own Social Security. At the beginning of the legislature was clear that the economic situation would worsen, and yet the tax was abolished Heritage, measures such as the "400 euros", the "check baby", etc. It is necessary to abandon the liberal tax and monetarism to return to the escalation and the adequacy of our tax model.

MO: But this new tax model has to be coupled with a new financial system in Spain. What is the alternative CCOO facing the financial sector? RG

.: More government intervention through increased and effective implementation and monitoring conditions of entry into the boards of private banks. Second, and for savings banks, CCOO is favorable to mergers but linked to a reform of the Banks Act and defend the social character of the same. Finally, CCOO is favorable to the application of social clauses in relation to the Local Investment Fund.

MO: Before talking of the need to build up forces for a social outlet to the crisis. But it is essential to strengthen and extend the class unionism in those sectors dominated social and economic job insecurity, lack of rights and the absence of the union. How does CCOO these sectors? RG

.: At the Ninth Congress passed a Trade Union Action Plan for the next four years. Our goal is to bring the contents of this plan at the same social dialogue. In particular, we can say that the content of the Action Plan can be summarized in four points: strengthening trade union action and collective bargaining, to refer to our organizational policy to the unions and federations, and two related points structural changes, advocating a new model and the defense attorney an economic alternative. These are the central elements of our proposal.

If we focus more on the organizational model, we bet to strengthen the unions. The delegate of the CCOO have to do what is decided in the union section. The works council does not operate or organize, the union section itself. But falls into corporatism.

MO: Finally. On 6 March, the first encounter between the leadership of the CCOO and the United Left. How do you rate it from CCOO relations between the two organizations? RG

.: From CCOO respect the autonomy from the strategies of other organizations. In the things we try to agree further, where we disagree we are still debating. But this autonomy does not mean equidistance CCOO. For Workers' Commissions, the United Left is part of the social body which is CCOO, the ones who set the need for change in society. In this regard, we appreciate very positive recovery from IU, the discourse of the centrality of the working world at its last meeting.
