The CNT does not understand how the leaders of the CCOO and the UGTmake a pact to ”go on holiday” in such an extreme situation• The CNT calls on the workers to continue protests and has announceda global day of action against Ford -VisteonThe CNT union in Visteon-Cádiz Electronics wants to denounce thedemobilization that the official unions are causing among the staff.In late July, the CCOO and UGT leaders met in Seville and agreed notto take any steps until September. The workers have not been askedwhether they want to take a "holiday" in the middle of conflict inwhich we are engaged. Given the anti-democratic nature that thisstruggle is taking the fight, where the assemblies have hardly anydecision-making capacities, we fear that the union leaders havealready agreed a solution to the conflict involving the destruction ofjobs.While we Visteon workers lower our guard and are demoralized by notbeing able to work because of the lack of parts, the unionprofessionals will stuff themselves with seafood at the beach with themoney from the redundancy plans they signed and the company will buytime to prepare their plans. The script of this movie was written longago and the workers were assigned the role of extras without anydialogue.We are asking ourselves how much the CCOO and UGT make for the signingthe redundancy plan. Are the same unions that negotiated a redundancyplan allowed to take a commision for giving "technical and legaladvice"? The CNT, which has never signed or will ever sign aredundancy plan, will not stop the fight. We will increase ourmobilization at the local, national and international levels.Locally we have prepared a battery of mobilizations in the variousaffected municipalities: Sanlúcar, Rota, El Puerto and Jerez. Thesewill include demonstrations, talks, posters, press releases ... If thecompany closes the factory, nobody from Cadiz will buy Fords.At the national and international level, the unions of the CNTnationwide and our international sister unions are already startingactions. The CNT in Igualada, for example, has already taken action insolidarity at the Visteon plant in their municipality.This schedule of demonstrations and activities will culminate onAugust 19th with an International Day of Struggle AgainstFord-Visteon, in which protests will be held worldwide against themultinationals Ford and Visteon. This day of action will end with aconcert in Sanlúcar de Barrameda at 21:00 in solidarity with theworkers affected by the closure of Cadiz Electronics. We invite allemployees of the factory to the assemblies that the CNT organize everySaturday and to participate in the activities and demonstrations called by the union.
