Wed The LKP tomorrow calls for a strike renewable. Interview with Felix Flemin, member of the general secretary of the Communist Party of Guadeloupe.
Alleging that the State did not respect the commitments made, after a general strike of 44 days in the agreements of March 4, the collective Guadeloupe Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon (LKP) calls again for mobilization. "The money is to improve our wages and living conditions, but we must look for it! "Insists the Inter in an appeal. Overview of reasons that lead down to Guadeloupe in the street. The group denounced the non-compliance with commitments made by the State during the signing of the agreements of March 4. What is the purpose of the day of action on which the LKP called tomorrow? On payment of 100 euros wage increase supported by the State through the RSTA on falling fuel prices, the state does not respect its commitments. Ditto regarding the control and lower prices in supermarkets. The state, the chairmen of local authorities must understand that we intend to meet commitments. We are ready, also, we re-engage for further negotiations on many crucial points still being discussed, such as the development of local production, the establishment of a public service for the fuel, creating a funds for vocational training, launching a plan for youth employment and housing.
Why do some employees, however, meet the criteria set by the agreement Jacques-Bino, they are excluded from payment of RSTA?
The Bino-Jacques agreement provided for the payment of RSTA for employees earning up to 1.4 SMIC, without taking into account of premium accessories wages. But the decree creating the RSTA includes bonuses and accessories in the calculation of the threshold below which an employee is entitled to payment of 100 euros paid by the State. It is a total violation of the agreement itself. It inflates the wages artificially to rise above 1.4 SMIC and reduce thereby the number of beneficiaries of the RSTA.
In addition, the decree to extend the agreement Jacques-Bino creates a situation of inequality. With two categories of workers: those of the signatory companies in upstream and those of member companies of MEDEF, employers' organization that has not signed the agreement. In the latter, the agreement will not apply after the period of three years after which the company must take full responsibility for the increase of 200 euros.
Price, how the supermarkets themselves taking to circumvent the agreements signed in March?
In an opinion issued September 8, the Competition Authority finds, on a basket of consumer goods, a marked difference in our disfavour, and highlights the more dubious practices.
In the rays, we can not find the products whose prices have been negotiated. It organized a shortage. For other products, their prices have soared. Especially, the agreement provided that the direction of competition and price increases for its staff to do its job properly. That work now is not. Hence the decision of LKP establish its own brigades to control prices. It does not replace the administration of the competition, only able to take enforcement action, but to see the price increases and the non-compliance of commitments signed by the State and distributors.
The recent increase of 6 cents of the price of a liter of fuel relight the fuse of anger ... How to solve the problem of gasoline prices?. It was envisaged in the agreements of March, the establishment of a commission to the truth about fuel prices before making any upward. We are therefore surprised that the government without knowing the basis on which prices are formed, decide such an increase. In reality, this is to enable the limited company refinery Antilles (SARA), is to tell the Total Group, to restore its margins.
Instead, a lasting solution would be to create a public service of supply and fuel distribution, and conclude partnership agreements with Venezuela, as part of Petrocaribe. Hugo Chavez recently expressed support for such a proposal. The problem is, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana do not have the legal capacity to enter into such agreements. This raises a political problem.
Should we go towards more autonomy for the departments overseas?
There are indeed a people of Guadeloupe. But the French Constitution denies us as a people. It sees us, since institutional reform in March 2003 as a "population". Thus, fundamental rights related to this notion of people as the right to self-determination, we do not recognize. The prerequisite is the recognition of people of Guadeloupe.
