Toxo Mendez and say "no stopping" because there has been "the biggest recession" work for democracy.

The general secretaries of UGT and CCOO, Candido Mendez and Ignacio Fernandez Toxo have argued Tuesday in Santander on 29 September that "no stopping" so that "things are going in a direction very different to that imposed by the Government "since there has been a" kick radical "and" most recession "in industrial relations of democracy.

Mendez and Toxo have spoken like this in a press conference on the, ffxiv gil, occasion of the Assembly of Delegates convened by UGT and CCOO Santander to the general strike of September 29, which were accompanied by the general secretaries of both unions in Cantabria, Jesus Maria and Vicente Cedrn Arce.

Trade union officials have agreed in criticizing the government labor reform, which in its opinion will produce more unemployment and delayed the start, aika gold, of the crisis, and ensuring that the strike, framed in a day of union action across Europe to demand changes adjustment policies, will be "a success."

In this sense, Mendez ensure that policy settings will not resolve the problem of the economy "real people", but on the contrary, it meant a delay in economic recovery that will bring with, buy mafia wars items, it a rise in unemployment in Spain and the EU.

In this country, denounced the government "has emerged as champion of the strength of the adjustment policies, a fact that has led to the breakdown of the Toledo Pact," violated "by the Government. In this regard, Mendez described as "unjust, useless and unnecessary" reform of pensions, with which he was "fundamentally disagree."

In this sense, the unions require redicin Pact of Toledo, which does not involve a cut in benefits and does not provide for retirement at 67 years.

As for the labor reform, I believe that, contrary to the assertions of the Executive Rodriguez Zapatero, "consolidate forever precarious and temporary," besides that hara "easier, faster and cheaper" layoffs, what that will contribute to increased unemployment.

"These are decisions that will have to overcome as the general strike," he emphasized.

Also expressed concern that the 17,500 million of cuts in public spending which has demanded the Government Ecofin affect the cost of unemployment benefits.

The labor reform will not create jobs

For its part, Toxo explain that the "trigger last" of the general strike is the market reform of industrial relations, which has suffered "the biggest recession" of democracy.

In his opinion, "every day" are added new elements to "confirm the need for" a citizen mobilization "that prevents the country is in the passivity and resignation."

Toxo denounced that "no Spanish financial system's commitment to the country's economic situation, both the location of the boxes as the credit crunch, he said.

He also recalled that large municipalities are "paralyzing" the investments by the government's adjustment plans and restrictions on access to credit.

For the Secretary General of CCOO, "there who tries to find shortcuts to the creation of employment in the labor reform, but you know, I mean the Government, there is no labor reform that will create jobs and to correct high incidence of unemployment in Spain, "he warned.

In his view, aspublic investment is "blinded" by the plans and private setting for the fall in consumption, "the conjunction of all these elements can only be delayed out of the crisis and further growth of unemployment in our country." In this regard, I say that when "pass the mirage of the three summer months, the unemployment rate will grow again.

In this context, explained that the "trigger" of the strike is labor reform but in the end is that it is producing "a radical decline of the economic policies" that affects all levels of government as the market suffers from "atony" of private investment.

With regard to pension reform, believes that Toxo is "unjust, lack of solidarity" and "nonsense" by the very situation of Social Security. "Maybe he intended to remain working until 70 years and others are marching in the labor market with one hand in front, one behind eliminating the partial and early retirement", denounced.

Cuts in building

Moreover, in response to questions from the press about the planned cuts by the Ministry of Development, critical Toxo assume that some delays "basic infrastructure" and many "very necessary", where I quote the "connection intercantabrica", besides lower economic activity.

Having concluded that private investment will find difficulties because the bank does not provide the credit, I believe that these cuts resulted in a decline in GDP and increased job destruction. "The strike will continue to grow in the coming quarters," he predicts.

Therefore advocate seeking a solution through a tax reform "permanently postponed" by acting on the structure of income. In this regard, I urge to start "a serious fight" against tax evasion and the underground economy.

Meanwhile, Mendez I believe that the cuts in social spending and public investment "hit us negatively" and "will put into question the future."

Claimed that the Government has not gained the confidence of the markets we wanted, and agreed on the need to reform fiscal policy, moving towards the Eurozone, "increasing spending and increasing revenue." "That's the formula that would allow us to reconcile an equitable distribution of the sacrifices of crisis," he said.

success of the strike

For its part, Cedrn manifesto that has no doubt that the general strike "will be a success" and will get to "halt the deterioration" of the current model of society that has "changed for the worse" and retrieve a welfare state This "more in danger than ever."

Arce coincided in the "success" of the strike and adventure until 29 September "accumulate more reasons" for this call. CCOO Secretary General de Cantabria denounced that there has been a "radical departure from 180 degrees, the discourse of government," and dnded that the date chosen is "far more clear and more fair," because if it convenes in the summer "we had been criticized for making it on holiday.
