It is we who, >in the name of "modernization" and "globalization," must forfeit >all the gains we have won over decades of struggle. > >The existence of international labor rights -- particularly the >right to collective bargaining and the right to strike -- are >considered barriers to "free trade." Indeed, the traditional trade >union, we are told, is not suitable for the workplace of the new >millennium insofar as it said to "hamper" a corporation's ability to >compete in the global economy. > >In our own experience in the United States we have witnessed >countless efforts by the employers and the government to restrict, >suppress and even bust unions. The assault has taken various >forms -- PATCO, Taft-Hartley, Landrum-Griffin, the Hatch Act, >state "right-to-work" laws, Congressional back-to-work orders for >striking railworkers, "Paycheck Protection" acts, and lawsuits >against unions and officers who respect picket lines -- such as in >the West Coast Neptune Jade case. The list goes on. But the content is >always the same: to shackle the labor movement. > >When this doesn't work, we have seen the employers and >government try to integrate us into their plans. Under the pretense >of making us their "associates" and "partners," they deploy all >sorts of schemes to undermine collective bargaining and to roll >back our rights and working conditions. They also hold out the >promise of toothless "side agreements" and other such language to >get us to drop our fight against NAFTA and the Multilateral >Agreement on Investment (MAI), which are so crucial to global >capital's "free trade" agenda. > >What can we do to fight back? > >On June 7, 1998, close to 200 trade union delegates from 36 >countries met in Geneva to counter global capital's assault on >working people the world over and to promote a fightback in defense >of trade union rights. The meeting, held on the eve of the annual >convention of the International Labor Organization (ILO), was >called by the heads of 17 national trade union federations in Africa >and the International Liaison Committee for a Workers' >International (ILC), a coalition of trade unionists and activists in >82 countries fighting the structural adjustment policies of the World >Trade Organization (WTO) and International Monetary Fund >(IMF). > >Ed Rosario, coordinator of the Western Hemisphere Workers' >Conference Against NAFTA and Privatizations, was the keynote >speaker at the Geneva meeting. Brother Rosario, who represented >the San Francisco Labor Council (AFL-CIO), called for an >international labor fightback in defense of the ILO conventions >(right to collective bargaining, ban on child and forced labor, ban >on discrimination in employment, equal wages for work of equal >value, etc.) against all the attempts by the WTO and IMF to subvert >and ultimately destroy them. He also urged the conference >participants to join the struggle for Global Unionism charted by the >Western Hemisphere Workers Conference, which was held in >November 1997 with the participation of 412 delegates from 20 >countries -- including a representative from the national AFL-CIO. >A central concern expressed by all the trade union delegates in >Geneva was the growing threat to the independence of the trade >unions on all continents. They took note of the increasing attempts >by the WTO and IMF to break the power of the unions by seeking to >incorporate the leaderships of the trade unions into "Social Pacts" >and "Roundtable Agreements" with the very governments and >bosses that are dismantling our jobs, worsening our working >conditions and attacking our very unions. > >Such pacts are based on the idea that labor, management and >governments must come together to find "common solutions," >thereby putting aside what WTO head Renato Ruggiero calls the >"confrontational relationship and frictions inherent in traditional >labor-management relations." > >The participants in the Geneva meeting called on working people >throughout the world to reject the strategy of "Social Pacts," which, >they warned, was the road to the integration-cooptation of the unions >into the very fabric of globalization -- something the multinationals >so desperately need as they seek to avert mass social upheavals that >could threaten their anti-worker designs. > >At the conclusion of the gathering in Geneva, the delegates >concluded that there must be a world conference aimed at defending >the independence of the unions -- and democracy itself, insofar as >an independent labor movement is a cornerstone of a free and >democratic society. They proposed a conference in the year 2000 in >response to a United Nations Summit, to be convened in June of that >year at the behest of the IMF and WTO with the explicit purpose of >advancing the integration-cooptation agenda of the multinationals. >The UN Summit is designed to bring together all the players in the >so-called "civil society" (local employers, multinational >corporations, nongovernmental organizations/NGOs, churches, >trade unions, charity organizations, lobbying groups, and political >parties) into a common framework to promote more "democratic" >and "participatory" free trade pacts and other anti-worker policies. > >The time to act is now! > >In answer to the June 7 appeal from Geneva, the Western >Hemisphere Workers� Conference Continuations Committee -- >together with all the undersigned endorsing unions, trade unionists >and activists � call upon all who seek to defend unions, to protect >and advance the gains of the workers' movement and to guarantee >that a safe environment exists as we move onto a better future for all >people: > >Join us in organizing a worldwide workers' conference in early >2000 in San Francisco. > >Following as it will on the successful Western Hemisphere >Workers' Conference Against NAFTA and Privatizations, our >conference in the year 2000 will afford an opportunity to gather >together unionists and activists from around the world to share >experiences, to analyze the attacks of the bosses, and � most >important � to chart an international fightback. We need to unite >all those who are upholding the defense of independent trade unions >and democratic rights, irrespective of country, union or political >horizon. > >We call upon unions and working people to endorse this call. >Contribute information to a multilingual bulletin to be published >regularly by the conference organizers on the issues confronting the >trade union movement.
