The precariousness "closed doors" continues
Labour reforms do not address the interests of employers
Reforms advisory status of household workers, have been the workhorse of the coalition, not amend their working conditions, but rather because legislation amending certain points, leaving in reality the final decision in the hands of employers who hire workers, maintaining a world of its own rules in each household. These are minimum conditions that have been regulated on the payment of contributions, contracts and other legal rights, because the situation is absurd. Abuse patterns to near slavery, for example, giving the weekly day off in two half-day workers, forcing them to work more than 12 hours without locks or the beginning or the end of the day steadily, maintaining contracts word, not paying years of service, including employers behaviors.
Right, always uncompromising defender of the interests of employers, without mincing words, left to defend the idea of \u200b\u200bpaying workers in cash for the holidays does not, while debated last year the law amending Article 150 which aims to standardize them for the holidays to the advisory "indoors" and now it is law. In the words of UDI Hernán Larraín "the fairest way is to accumulate vacation or, alternatively, to compensate them financially," similar to Evelyn Matthei reviewing who said that "many people living outside the country and for them is much more important to be more days with his family to take the holiday. " (The Nation, Tuesday, December 23, 2008).
So while the right came out against this law defending employer abuse, the Coalition posing as progressive, this Act sought to show a face of change and social transformation, when these rules are not enforced or controlled within each home and the law allowing joint agreement between the worker and the employer running the holidays and accumulate within 90 days, which is nothing other than continue with the same abusive situation. For who will oversee day to be granted in accordance with the worker? Moreover, does a victory that the holidays are granted on a cumulative basis when the employer is ultimately decides on what date and under what conditions are given and decide on the working day without any limit? There is nothing to maintain the same precarious "indoors."
Both the Coalition and the right represent the interests of employers and do not say us, Laura Albornoz, SERNAM Minister, said of the idea of \u200b\u200bconcentrating on holiday holidays "That will be after the employer-worker-who is also complicated because she also has her vacation days and if it adds to their working more days in private homes can not reconcile their own vacation. " With these words, openly advocates the interests of the patrons who she says work like them. In her words emphasized, stating that "here is to juggle many times the interests of both workers and the employers often are not wealthy, they have two or three mothers, but women who leave their jobs and will take Transantiago to go to his stick. "(The Nation, Tuesday, December 23, 2008).
This position arises SERNAM accommodate the interests of the workers to their employers in fact, equal work and patterns, so as to reach a social agreement we have to respect their interests above ours. Working women have to defend our rights without relying on these women from the bosses' parties which call us to trust our patrons who have competing interests to ours. Do you worry that the 300 000 women recruited in Chile advisers from home, there are other 300 000 advisors without a contract? Are you concerned perhaps that 70% of Peruvian women in Chile work illegally as advisors used by employers and wealthy families as cheap labor and to get off the salary of the other workers?
All these situations of reality, as the immense amount of working without a contract, work extremely precarious, abuse no limits on hours and wages, the abuse directed at immigrants puts real limits to the reforms envisaged only words and rules can not apply for these conditions and even less monitor, even considering the 5 laws that boasts the Conclusion of the promulgation in the advisory for the home, 4, enacted in 2008, considered to match the salary of the workers contracted the legal minimum wage, just for the year 2011. Just the facts precarious social pact intentions is what we offer the government and the bosses' parties, although more progressive or more hard outs, end up imposing all the interests of our patterns on our own, endorsing our precarious situation.
is necessary to promote the right to work stable, stop outsourcing and labor division between first and second, fighting for a salary equal to the basket of 350,000. Only in the hands of our colleagues and fellow workers we can provide a solution to our problems and precarious workers. It is necessary to drive the ranks of the working class, of which women form a very important part. From Bread and Roses, we appeal to women workers to fight for our rights without relying on the coalition or the right or any variation or political bosses, neither of which say they are fighting for the rights of our gender and the reality advocate the maintenance under this or that partial change of the substance which is the abuse and exploitation of us working women. Working women have to fight inside the bodies of the working class as the CUT, demanding that defend our claims. To give an answer to the bosses' attacks and the crisis that we downloaded above, we are part and called to prepare the national strike on April 16, raising strike committees from the grassroots to mobilize and pay for the crisis patterns, small, medium and large.
Because gender unites us with other women, but the class divide of the patrons we and the rich.
