Labor Federations reaffirm unity and intensify the struggle against Pensions Reform

Federations summon seminar for November 12
By: CSP-Conlutas, Brazil
Actions of confrontation against the Pensions reform and unity on this agenda were the two agreements in the labor federations’ meeting this Thursday (11/1) in the Dieese headquarters (Inter-union Department of Statistics and Social-economic Research), in São Paulo, Brazil.
The labor federations CSP-Conlutas, Força Sindical, CSB, CTB, CUT, Intersindical, and Nova Central met and defined actions to prepare a struggle in defense of pensions.
Member of the National Executive Board of the CSP Conlutas, Luis Carlos Prates, aka. Mancha, highlighted that stopping this reform interests the entire working class.
“It is a proposal that attacks the rights of workers, it sets a minimum age for all, even for women, which separates minimum wage from this benefit, reaching 70% of minimum wage, and through the capitalization system, it hands over retirements to the banks,” he stated.
As part of the actions of resistance, a seminar to organize a strong campaign in defense of the Pensions will take place on November 12.
