The past year has been quite varied and challenging at the same time. In addition to a number of workplace issues, we have been preparing quite intensively for the 28th Congress of the International Workers` Association (IWA/AIT) in Spain. We supported a number of activities in Slovakia and abroad, took part in fundraising events and took care of the preparation of the International Week Against Unpaid Wages. And there was more. Find out more in this annual report.
Between 9th and 11th December the 28th regular IWA Congress took place in Alcoi, Spain. For delegations, it was undoubtedly exhausting since the agenda was long and demanding. Nevertheless, the Congress was exceptional. This was mainly because of the number of delegations and the program prepared by the Congress Committee of the CNT-AIT in Alcoi. It was really a dignified commemoration of 100 years since the founding of IWA in December 1922.
Fed up with oppression. This is how one could briefly describe yesterday‘s protest, which commemorated the two people from the queer community who were murdered on 12th October in Bratislava, as well as the systemic context of oppression. Powerful speeches and the overall energy of the protest, full of anger, rage, grief and humour, created an atmosphere that we have never seen before in Slovakia.
La Semana Internacional de Acciones contra los Salarios Impagos comenzó con una acción de ZSP en una tienda de conveniencia Zabka. La situación se refiere a una trabajadora que fue estafada de dos formas: al negarle el pago correcto por trabajar los domingos y días festivos y al realizarle deducciones ilegales de su salario. El monto total del robo de salario ascendió a 5688 zloties o 1170 euros. Fuimos con una carta para exigir que se pague ese dinero.
Del 10 al 16 de octubre de 2022, la Asociación Internacional de Trabajadores llevará a cabo una Semana Internacional de Acciones contra los Salarios Impagos.
La ZSP-AIT organizará dos acciones de protesta en las tiendas de conveniencia Zabka: una en Varsovia el 9 de octubre y una semana después, en Grodzisk Mazowiecki.
