CNT-AIT Against the Cuts in Health Care and Education in the Regional Government of Murcia

The Government of the Region of Murcia, chaired by Mr. Ramon Luis Valcarcel, has passed a law called the "Law on Extraordinary Measures for Sustainable Finance", approving measures that infringe on the rights of public employees and that will directly affect the quality of public education and health care.

Some of the measures that have been approved are:
 

Suspending agreements that reduced  working hours to 35 hours. These will be discontinued "because of the crisis," as will the pay system of public employees, especially in education and health care.  The first cut will be a supplement of 175 euros per month. They will also reduce some sick leave benefits by 25% , suspend contributions to pension plans and, of course, the salaries of employees of the Public Health Service will be frozen.
 
The political class is again shamelessly attacking workers to  maintain their privileges. In these times of "capitalist crisis" we must be more united than ever and support each other because, as always, we are the ones paying. This is a global assault on the entire working class and we must bear in mind that we will never be alone, there is the CNT.
 
As is the duty of a real workers organization, we support the protests and defend our colleagues because we are not for sale, and we never leave any worker or unemployed person. Solidarity is our foundation and our strength. We should  take the blinders off our eyes and we must organize and act for our future and that of our children. Never forget that as the Indian proverb says "The earth is a loan from your children, not an inheritance from your parents," so we are fighting to leave them a better and freer world.
 
"WE HAVE A NEW WORLD IN OUR HEARTS; AND THIS WORLD IS GROWING AT THIS MOMENT "
