An activist in Paris decided to recreate a CNT branch in the Drome region
and we also have friends in the Ardeches region.
We are trying to get bigger with more presence at demonstrations
with musicians, open mikes,
so that people can finally express themselves.
Sometimes in demonstrations
people don't have the possibility to express themselves.
It's very important to us.
I'm Tobar, from the United Voices of the World union
from London, England
I'm happy to be at this congress
to be part of this global network of syndicalism.
We work with education workers, petrol industry workers
clothing sector workers and students,
students who work in low level university jobs.
And we have initiated a contract
for agricultural workers in Brazil
In Germany 60,000 people are currently behind bars
40,000 of these prisoners work regularly eight hour days
and they are exploited for a pittance.
Usually between one or maximum two euros an hour.
And they work for big companies.
Aldi produces in prisons, so do Miele, Mercedes, BMW..
these big companies pay their workers virtually nothing.
It's a double punishment:
you are behind bars and also exploited by big companies.
I wouldn't speak of collaborations, but rather the convergence of struggles.
These struggles are more and more criticised by government propaganda.
Our political leaders say they don't believe in a convergence of struggles,
but a revolution can only happen with a convergence of struggles!
