founder of the Workers' Commissions, The Camocha chopper and a communist.
Silicosis acquired the mine it took 25 years to Campillo (Alicante) and there, on 20 July has been looking for him, with 84 years of the scythe. Casimiro Bayon, historical communist chopper in the mine, formed the first committee working on the Camocha in 1957 with Peter Galan and Gerardo Tenreiro.
In June 2007, coinciding with the closure of the mine, which was his life and his death in Madrid Casimiro Association told us that when he learned of the closure "was like I ripped something." There, in the Franco regime, argued before the bosses and Civil Government as Casimir himself reminded us "the increased price of piecework, jobs suitable for those suffering from silicosis, reduced to five hours of the day which stinging flooded galleries ... "
that in January 1957, while the commission was negotiating with the employer, the 1,500 miners stopped mining. There was not a prisoner, or aggression. Casimiro was responsible to materialize in the new tactics Camocha PCE in the workers' struggle: to promote the commission of representatives for specific claims and that its members be submitted to the election of the vertical union, the union only Franco to coparlo. Thus, Casimiro took the chairmanship of the Board at the Union of Fuel, the Franco center. Casimiro
reminded us with her voice, still strong in recalling historical moments, that "the strike of 57 ended with the apathy of the workers, with the feeling that there was nothing to do." In 1958 he was imprisoned and exiled. Spent periods of his life in France, Belgium and the Soviet Union until he could return to Spain in 1976.
Without Casimiro and many like him, many anonymous fighters would not have arisen CCOO. Workers' Commissions And those people will never forget. Madrid
Association.
July 2009.
