The workers pay the broken plates
México. - The workers of the world are paying a party of which they didn't enjoy. Richard Trumka exposes it (RT). Miner of third generation that directs one of the most influential unions in the world. "The financial sector the party was given and now they want the workers to pay for it although they didn't participate that pay the broken plates", it points out. Also he talks about the form in that the governments and managers, in practically everybody impel reformations to laws around the work like a supposition way to generate more employment: "When you listen that somebody speech of labor flexibility as mean of creating more jobs is to understand that that is a word in code that means to put an end to rights of the working sector and unions."

In the international discussion on the exit to the crisis that affects to the world for one half a decade it has been left aside the human dimension and of the employment", Trumka says, president of the American Federation of the Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). “The ministers of finances meet to speak of austerity, of cuttings here and there, but not of the human dimension of the crisis", the leader comments us with an organization of voluntary filiations composed by 56 unions of workers in The States and other countries.

The martyrs from Chicago
Against what many people thought and what many in the political and economic high society wanted, today it was proven that the movement Occupy continues it live and present, and it promises a long and uncomfortably hot summer for one percent. In New York dozens of union leader thousands, immigrants and students carried out meetings, marches and acts of civil disobedience along the day for the center and south of the New York City before a massive unfolding of police forces (5/1/12). The diverse mosaic of this city showed in a march-past from Unión Square to Wall Street for the avenue Broadway that filled with contingents of the unions of the public transportation, transport, teachers, of services, that of the public sector and until an union of taxi drivers, with a musical band of the union of musicians marking the step to jazz rhythm.

Mexican, Ecuadorian immigrants' organizations and other Latin Americans went next to Philippine, Korean, Arabs and Indian, among others. "We are 99 percent", it was read in an enormous blanket in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Philippine. "Illegal alien. Without asking for forgiveness. Without fear", they said students’ beach-shirt. Workers, immigrants and students chanted together like a chorus that they were here “to recapture to this country” and to recover “our deported, our employments, ours imprisoned, our housings", and more. They declared that all these complaints were linked since they had to do with the basic injustice that 1 percent richer controlled the economy and politics of this country.

RT around the solution to the economic chaos
The economic and financial crisis that now has to the Europe of the Eurus like epicenter, it began in the financial sector of The States. Several years before the banking of American investment collapsed in 2008, the banks of that country committed thousands of millions of dollars in mortgage loans without appropriate guarantee that later on converted in diverse financial instruments that placed in American and European institutions. It was the beginning of the current problems. For the workers, the crisis has been reflected in unemployment, real decrease of the wages, smaller social protection and to fall in a situation of more inequality like it recognized it in a recent document the International Organization of the Work (IOW).

The report on the employment in the world 2012, published by that organism, highlights that a deficit still exists of approximately 50 million labor positions in comparison with the situation previous to the crisis. "It is not very probable that during next two years the world economy grows to an enough rhythm to reduce the current employment deficit and to offer work to more than 80 million people that it is calculated that they will enter in the labor market during that period". Trumka 63 years old, was in Mexico to participate in the meeting of the Labour-20, a group that gathers work ministers and union leaders of the countries that belong to the Group of the 20 and that they were in work session in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, as part of the summit of the G-20.

International messages of May 1
The music resounded along the buildings of Broadway, interrupted by Beautiful Ciao and other tracks that it offered the band of metals and drums Rude Mechanical Orchestra. They were also found international messages, like “Occupy loves at the 15-M", and “From Tunisia to Occupy, with love". the eternal pacifist warrior's images of Che Guevara, of Martin Luther King, of the Arab spring and some Zapata-men appeared with placards of all type: "let us reinvent everything", “veteran of the war for the peace", “musicians for the economic justice", and "Anonymous ".

The fact that the means and the authorities had to speak of something called May Day, that is to say, the first of May, as day of workers' resistance was something unusual in this country of the bars and the stars, since this country had erased that date of the calendar. Judging by the measures of public security, the resuscitation of the martyrs from Chicago caused alarm among the authorities. (La Jornada, economia, p. 29, May 2, 2012).
