ILC INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER NO. 142A dossier of weekly information published by the International Liaison Committee of Workers and Peoples July 26, 2005 To contact us: ILC International Newsletter ******************** INTRODUCTION This week, we bring your attention to the continuation of the article by Roger Sandri concerning the reactionary character of the current reform of the UN and the installation of totalitarian institutions in the place of democratic ones. Some people think that the IMF only imposes its dictates on under-developed countries. The IMF report -- from which we are publishing extracts -- imposes a road-map on the French government and demonstrates the universal nature of the policies of the IMF and the anti-worker and anti-democratic content of its plans. We are also publishing the continuation (and conclusion) of the study that our correspondents have written about the so-called Blair "miracle" and its consequences for employment. At this moment, Blair is taking over the presidency of the European Union, which will continue with all its extremely reactionary "reforms." Moreover, this week we are responding to the pleas for solidarity sent to us by our comrades. In Issue 140 of the ILC International Newsletter, we published the communiqué by Daniel Gluckstein -- the coordinator of the ILC -- supporting our comrade in Djibouti, Hassan Cher Hared, the general secretary of the post-office workers' union, who was arbitrarily sanctioned and fired. Amongst the messages received, we are making known the support given by the General Federation of Labor-Freedom of Cameroon. From Pakistan we have received an urgent call by the APTUF asking for support for the workers at the Capital Industry Ltd. factory. Next week we will publish more information about these comrades who are struggling to impose the respect of Conventions 87 and 98 and who are being attacked by the bullies of the bosses. From Antilles, we have received an appeal of unionists against the intervention of UN occupation troops in Port-au-Prince, which perpetrate massacres of the population. "We, political and union leaders in the Caribbean, call on the Caribbean, American, and international democratic workers' movement to quickly intervene against the repression in Haiti, for the removal of all the occupation troops from the country, and for the respect of Haiti's sovereignty." More than ever, your subscription or re-subscription is indispensable. ********************
p.1 Introduction ********************
World Governance and Civil Society The Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization, which was constituted inside the ILO, made the following recommendations: "A new fair world government, which integrates universal values and human rights, must be implemented with the following actors: governments, parliaments, corporations, members of civil society, union organizations, and international organizations." What is this about? The goal is to transform the United Nations - created in 1945, after the last world conflict - into an institution of the world government, which has been chosen to take control of the evolution of the world since 1989, the date of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The capitalist concentration has favored the emergence and political role of transnational groups and corporations, accentuating the pressure that they exert on the nation-states, with the goal of creating the best conditions for exploiting the labor force, on the one hand, and, on the other, to open public services to their plans - to the point of privatization. Industrial and commercial nomadism is becoming an enormous means to pressure the nation-states. The delocalizations of the sub-contractors, and, in relation, the mother companies, are implementing the new management methods. The results are terrible for the effected workers. The economic and financial rumblings that have shaken the South-Eastern Asian countries - like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia - and Latin America, particularly Argentina, are marked by the brand of the transnational corporations, imposing a halt to wage increases, which are considered detrimental to their bottom line. The collusion between the speculators of the George Soros group, the transnational corporations and the international institutions - primarily the IMF - is going to destroy the little bit of authority that the national governments still have by forcing them to further liberalize their economy. These governments had to finally yield to the conditions imposed by the transnationals - which are always looking to create the optimal conditions for exploiting the labor force - as well the IMF injunctions, which imposed on them the clauses of the "Washington consensus." The social consequences of these policies are well known. The gap between the poor countries and the rich ones continues to grow. Today, it is known that half of the 6 billion inhabitants of this planet live in conditions that do not cease to get worse. As it often underlined, the African continent continues to disintegrate physically and socially. The recent meeting of the G8, the spearhead of imperialism, changed nothing. Behind the appearances, the populations of the "rich countries" are not spared. With the prolonged crisis of the capitalist mode of production, today the industrialized countries are seeing profound social crises. Unemployment persists, and in Europe it affects over 25 million people. The countries of Eastern Europe, having left the Stalinist ghetto, are faced with endemic misery. The old Stalinist bureaucracies have converted themselves into ardent zealots of unbridled liberalism. They are led under different forms by U.S. imperialism, with NATO as its instrument. A segment of the populations find themselves in a situation identical to the one at the beginning of the 20th century, before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. This explains the fear expressed by Boutros-Ghali in 1995 of an amplified general explosion. Under several forms, protest is spreading to numerous sectors of society. For the leaders of the world, the channeling of the movement towards centralization has become urgent. For them this means the creation of an institution of "new governance," that is, a world government acting over the nation-states, which no longer respond to the game plan of the global economy and globalization. This "new governance" is supposed to bring together the maximum number of individuals and groups of individuals to search for a "universal common good." All sectors of society are therefore invited to participate in the elaboration and the implementation of this new governance, in which the reform of the UN - which is at the center of the agenda of the General Assembly of September 2005 - would become the main axis. The structure of this new world governance tends to provide a space and a central role to what they call "civil society." This formula "civil society" has become the slogan of the partisans of a "new democracy" - a democracy that rejects representative political democracy, which is linked to the nation-state. In its place we are offered a democracy which is called "participatory." In France, the followers of this conception are regrouping as much in the left-wing milieus as in the right-wing milieus. The so-called social Gaullism has always called for participation. The left - the Rocardiens and the left Catholics, as well as the Mendiste current - defended the same logic under different forms, even going so far as to proclaim their support for self-management. Today, opportunist or not, we are shocked to hear the leaders of the French Communist Party, as well as the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR), defend the virtues of "participatory democracy." By setting this schema for the new world governance, the Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization inside the ILO is giving a central role to this civil society. Formulas are never neutral. However, "civil society" - which is being referred to as its own entity - is a non-concept. What is civil society? Individuals constitute the basis of human society, which has developed throughout the history of humanity. This development has seen the rise of social and political structures - that is, social classes - that make up civil society in its totality. From Greek democracy to Roman democracy, civil society had its function in a compartmentalized society and was defined by the ruling class, which identified itself with the state. Let us note Frederick Engel's definition, in his Origin of the Family, Property, and the State: the state is product of a society that has reached a determined degree of development. It is the proof that this society contains an unsolvable contradiction within itself and that this society is divided into irreconcilable antagonists. So that the antagonistic classes with opposed economic interests do not consume themselves and society in sterile struggles, it became necessary that a power seeming to stand over society become charged with dampening the conflict and maintaining it within the limits of order. This power born from society, but placing itself outside of it and more and more distancing itself from it, is the state. The Middle Ages - which at the end of the Crusades witnessed the decomposition of the parceled feudal system and the emergence of the royal power, the basis for the modern state - gave birth to a bourgeoisie, a rising class based on the corporations initiated by the Church and by the good-will of the monarchy. Marx developed his Critique of Political Economy of Hegel concerning the organization of civil society and the corporations that compose it - and which under its totalitarian form are its expression. In relation to the space that should be occupied by the citizen in political democracy, he also notes the totalitarian character of looking at civil society as a complete totality. The Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization curiously establishes a distinction between "members of civil society" and "union organizations" and, moreover, "the international organizations." We understand. Civil society forms a whole which regroups all individuals and groups of individuals (organized or not). Under democracy, these groups express themselves by delegating representatives to defend their political and social views. In practice, there is a dialectic between civil society and the groups that compose it. Political parties play an essential role in the functioning of political democracy, which is an expression of diversity. History shows us that civil society taken as a totality, or as a compact whole, where the contradictions would be erased, is an institutionalized concept that has found its modern form in fascism. It was Mussolini himself who, in inventing fascism, also invented the term "totalitarian." The implementation of this "total" system is translated into the liquidation - sometimes physical - of all political parties, which freely express the interests of the citizens. Fascist man would be created as an aggregate of the fascist state - the living body of the total state - that is, the living expression of global "civil society." With the "community of the German people," Adolph Hitler and national-socialism in Germany based themselves on the following triptych: One people, one state, one leader. We know the results. Let's now look at trade union organizations. Once again, we have the right to be shocked by the separation introduced by the Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization between civil society and trade union organizations. I do not think this is a fortuitous definition: it is linked to a costly definition, it is linked to the role from now on given to the NGOs in the framework of the emerging "world governance." Civil society forms a whole, which regroups individuals, citizens, unions of all origins, etc. Trade unions group together wage-workers to defend their particular interests. This is true for workers' unions, and it's also true for the other organizations for professionals, bosses, peasants, artisans, merchants, etc. Political democracy allows this type of organization, particularly through respecting their independence from the state. This is not the case for totalitarian regimes. The workers' trade unions regroup all workers who want to defend their particular interests - up until the disappearance of bosses and workers. Here lies the whole question: The predominant ideology in these circles would have this "civil society" become the co-administrator of the new global economy, an economy where all specific class interests are erased. We must not forget that society is not uniform, global, or total. Society is made up of individuals, some of who own means of production or exchange on a local, national or global scale. Society is divided into social classes with antagonistic interests. The preamble of the Communist Manifesto published by Marx and Engels in 1848 states: "The history of all hitherto society is a history of class struggle." In spite of appearances, this class struggle - which is the product of capitalist exploitation - has never been so alive. Boutros-Ghali's prediction may be concretized with the overthrow of the system of capitalist exploitation, with the uprising of the exploited against the exploiters. Inside the international structures that represent the forces of world Capital, there is a real fear of another revolution. This is why they are trying to find a system of government meant, as we said, to channel opposition. Several schemas have been proposed, such as the model of "participatory democracy," -- with the support of the institutions of the NGOs. Faced with the media propaganda offensive supporting these ultra-reactionary theses, it is up to us to continue to explain and put forward our analyses and positions.

The IMF Dictates its Road Map The IMF's report on France, which was made public on July 15, summarizes in 12 points its assessment of, and its demands for, all aspects of French politics. It is a document of unhabitual precision and brutality. We decided to publish a few significant extracts. - Public Finance "It is imperative to continue the process of adjustment of public finances," the IMF insists. "In 2005, the execution of the budget on the expenditure side is once again commendable, especially because successful implementation of health care insurance reform is keeping spending in line with the targeted deceleration, for the first time in several years." The National Objective for Health Care Insurance Expenses (ONDAM) has been voted on, ever since the Juppe Plan (1996), every year by Parliament as a way to try to force the lowering of the Social Security budget. But, the IMF laments, "However, underlying structural adjustment is modest, in part because initial plans were unambitious, which leaves the risk that the general government deficit could exceed 3 percent of GDP this year." - Unemployment Insurance Concerning unemployment insurance, where the regime (the UNEDIC) is co-managed by the bosses and the trade union organizations, the IMF writes: "The forthcoming renegotiation of the UNEDIC convention provides an opportunity to eliminate the deficit of the unemployment insurance system, while concurrently strengthening labor market performance." Later, the IMF specifies: "Measures in these areas foreseen in the plan de cohésion sociale need to be accelerated and supported by reforms of the UNEDIC convention to promote better job search. Unemployment benefits should be capped and their phasing out (dégressivité) could be reintroduced. At the same time, sanctions (possibly graduated) for noncompliance with job search requirements and duration limits should be strictly enforced. Let us translate what is being said here: It is necessary to reduce unemployment benefits and periods of compensation (though, already, more than half of the unemployed are not compensated, having exhausted their rights where they had not accumulated enough). It is necessary to sanction the unemployed who refuse to take the under-qualified jobs proposed to them. The IMF writes: "It will be necessary to lower certain raised loans, so that the returns in the labor market are paid." The Minimum Insertion Revenue (RMI) is too high? The Specific Solidarity Allocations (ASS) are too high? What cynicism! "We welcome the intent to remove the tax on the dismissal of older workers (contribution Delalande), which is a source of exclusion." For Washington, fighting against exclusion means fighting to facilitate laying-off elder workers! - Social Security The IMF report explains: "The Comité d'Alerte should keep spending on track, but a mechanism to rapidly return to budget balance and maintain it should be established, in particular as recent estimates indicate that the target of balance in 2007 may be difficult to reach. In this respect, the loi organique for social security, which should be adopted imminently, will be helpfulŠ" The organic law relative to the laws financing Social Security was just definitively adopted on July 13. A report of Sénat (issue 252, March 2005) thus writes: "In the framework of its European obligations, France is presenting to the communitarian institutions a multi-annual control program of its public accounts. The social finances as a whole - and, particularly, the finance law on Social Security - cannot ignore the strong engagements by the French government in relation to its European partners." In other words, it is an instrument to force Social Security to conform to the demands of the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability Pact. The "Comité d'alerte," which the IMF is resting on, was created by Article 40 of the Douste-Blazy law of August 13, 2004: "The Comité d'Alerte on the evolution of the health care insurance budget is mandated to alert Parliament, the government and national cases of health care insurance in the case of the emergence of a budget for health care insurance which is incompatible with the respect of the national objective voted on by Parliament. The committee is comprised of the General Secretary of the Commission of Social Security Accounts, the General Director of the National Statistics and Economic Studies Institute and a qualified person named by the president of the Economic and Social Council. Š" The decree number 2004-1077 of October 12, 2004, specifies that the alert threshold is "set at .75%" and that "the national cases of health care insurance lay outs a delay of one month to count on the notification by the Comité d'alerte of a serious risk of over-stepping the national objective for health care insurance expenses as well as proposals for the steps to be taken to address this problem." The mechanism is therefore the following: The European Union demands the reduction of the deficits; the government votes on a finance law of Social Security to conform to these demands; a Comité d'alerte permanently guards the respect of this financial plan and demands, in the case of going over the spending limit, that "steps be taken" - that is, the lowering of the benefits! - Public Services "The successful introduction of stock capitalization of Gaz de France and the scheduled opening to capital of Electricité de France will be useful. Parrallel to this, it is important to give more autonomy to the authorities in the regulation of tariffs." Even with France Telecom privatized, the state in effect conserves its ability to regulate tariffs. The IMF says that this is too much - tariffs must be regulated freely and loosely. - Public Sector The following is written in black and white in the IMF report: "The issue of the non-replacement of retiring functionaries requiresŠ [that] more efforts should be made to utilize the ongoing sizeable wave of retirements to help with medium-term consolidation. " - State Administration Concerning the administration of the state, the IMF writes: "The implementation of the organic law in the state budget and the use of result indicators which result from this should improve the efficiency and the quality of public services." This is the organic law relative to the financial laws (LOLF), voted on in 2001 with a consensus of the right and the "left." - Local Collectives Concerning the local collectives, the IMF states: "It is necessary that [they] share responsibility for reaching the big budgetary objectives." The IMF also demands, "the base of the taxe professionelle should be broadened and the transfers from the central government to local authorities associated with its dégrèvement capped." The taxe professionelle - paid by businesses to local collectives, particularly the communes (of which there are 36,000 in France) - has particularly been lowered since the rule of the Jospin government (1997-2002). The IMF demands "a deeper reform, envisaging at the same time the suppression and creation of new sources of taxation for the local collectives." Let us resume: "The base of the taxe professionelle should be broadened," leading to a big loss for the communes; the tax itself should be destroyed and replaced by "new sources of taxation." In other words, tax who you please - as long as you don't tax businesses! Local taxes paid by the population - which are already rapidly rising due to the cuts in State funding - will explode. - Agriculture Concerning agriculture, the IMF writes: "We encourage France to assist in securing a successful completion of the Doha round, to which it is committed, and support comprehensive liberalization of agricultural markets, in particular of market access. In this context, rapid progress with the implementation of the CAP reform would be helpful." ********************
The Blair "Miracle" and Reality [You can read the first part of this article in issue no. 139 (July 5, 2005) of the ILC International Newsletter.-- ed.] The so-called economic miracle is built on the massive destruction of the conquests of the working class and the infrastructure of the nation. The speculative housing bubble was built on the destruction of social housing, which was formerly emblematic of the welfare state. Social housing in Great Britain essentially rests on the system of Council Housing, in which households progressively become owners of an apartment or a small house built by the municipality. From 1945 to 1970, 250,000 houses on sale by the municipality at a preferential rate were built each year. In 2004, only 24,000 houses were built - while Blair organized the massive transfer of the municipal housing stock to private companies. For the past months, the experts are sounding the alarm in light of the signs of a collapse of the real estate market - which would mean a collapse of the house of cards that makes up the British economy and would mean the loss of millions of workers. In effect, the Bank of England - in riding on the apparent economic boom of the multiplier effect which constitutes individual debt - has raised its interests rates, making individual loans more expensive. All this in a situation where most households cannot make ends meet due to miserable wages and the massive reduction of different social support mechanisms. The National Association of Banks specifies that, in the last three months of 2005, the number of real estate loans has fallen by 35% in comparison with 2004. A Million Manufacturing Jobs Lost Since 1997 How was the building (which is beginning to crumble) built? What were the secrets of the so-called economic miracle? You can find the recipe in the shock-therapy of the IMF and the World Bank. Recipe number one for destroying the economy of a nation: Massive de-industrialization. Since Labour's rise to power in 1997, a million manufacturing jobs have been lost. The share of the manufacturing industry in the national economy has fallen to 18%. The service sector - based on a totally flexible labor market - has from now on reached 70%. From 1999 to 2004, industrial investments have dropped 40%. The (mostly American) pension funds and the millions made on the Mafioso economy produced by the pillage of the countries of the East flow into the speculative housing market. For the first time in its history, in Great Britain, the cradle of the industrial revolution, there are less than 3.5 million manufacturers, that is, creators of commodities. Most investment funds - principally American pension funds - are turning to the speculative market. In 2004, the rate of investment in the industrial sector fell by 15%. Unemployment and the Blair "miracle" According to the statistics, unemployment has never been so low. They tell us that in the first trimester of 2005, there were only 29,000 fewer unemployed. In the same period, 112,000 industrial jobs were lost. What has caused this miracle? The New Deal, about which Blair speaks to us, replaced the system of unemployment insurance put into place at the end of World War Two. This New Deal essentially rests on the obligation for the unemployed to take the job given to them by the unemployment agency, regardless of the wages or working conditions. Failing to do this gets one scratched off the list at the job center. Rather then enter into the logistics of a complicated system, we will publish excerpts from our interview with a professor: "I am a university professor who was fired due to the closing of the Economy Department where I taught. My contract was broken. I went to the job center, which put me on unemployment - with the obligation that every 15 days I provide proof that I was looking for a job by showing them response letters. Of course, I began by looking for a teaching job. I even had a one-week job with a Manpower-like agency which provided teachers to the public service. After that, nothing. Each time I got the same response: 'You are too qualified'. "Finally, after 13 weeks - this is the legal deadline after which they can force you to take a job - they pushed me up to the second stage. I say the second stage, because all job centers are run the same - the higher the stage you reach, the more you should worry. They told me: 'We are going to find you a job in a local public sector.' Evidently, this job would be subject to the new conditions imposed by the law: minimum wage for a year and no retirement benefits, but at the end of the year, all the rest would be arranged. They never found me this job, and I was moved up to the third stage. There they told me that I could not stay in my situation and thus I would have to immediately take a new job: sorting books at the municipal library." This is how they can proclaim an employment rate of 73%. Let us add that unemployment benefits are 55 pounds per week, regardless of the wage of your previous job. In comparison, in the London region, an individual ticket bought for a trip into the heart of London costs 1.8 pounds. Lastly, there are three types of minimum wages in Great Britain: 4.85 pounds for adults; 4.10 pounds for people 18 to 21 years if age; and 3 pounds for people 16 to 17 years of age. Apprentices have no right to be paid. These policies are rounded out by an unprecedented attack against injury and sick-leave benefits. This, in a situation where deregulation and working conditions are multiplying the number of accidents and sicknesses. The Guardian described the working conditions for the construction workers in the previously cited article. But we can also quote the recent study by an official structure, the School Advisory Service, which notes that a third of teachers in England and Wales took sick-leave due to stress in 2004. Last year, 213,000 sick days were given to teachers suffering stress or depression. There are a total of 2.7 million workers who are receiving injury or sick-leave benefits. Blair is currently hunting down these folks and accusing them of being unemployed people in disguise. These are the facts about so-called British economic miracle. We will give the final word to Blair himself. During his speech to the European Parliament, he stated: "The politicians are lagging behind the people. They think that the people they represent - who lack their daily obsession with politics - cannot understand and cannot see all the subtleties and complexities. But, in the end, the people always see clearer than us." This is the Blair model that De Villepin and Borloo wish to follow in France . - Correspondent ********************

The United Nations (UN) occupation troops, notably the Brazilian troops, attacked residents in Cité-Soleil in Port-au-Prince on July 6, 2005, resulting in a massacre of the civilian population. We are publishing an appeal launched by Antilles trade union activists. On July 21 there were protests in the United States and Brazil demanding the condemnation of the UN. In Brazil, a letter addressed to President Lula signed by a hundred political and union leaders - most of them from the PT and the CUT - was presented at the Presidential Palace in Brasilia on July 21. We are responding to their call for solidarity. *** Stop the Massacre of the Haitian People! On July 6, 2005, at least 50 Haitian civilians from Cité Soleil in Port-au-Prince - including a 4 year-old child, according to numerous testimonies - were literally massacred by the UN occupation troops. Chaos and barbarism. This is the situation in Haiti, the first Black republic in the world, 201 years after the proclamation of its independence on January 1, 1804. We -- political and union activists and leaders -- endorse the following statement of personalities and elected officials in Brazil, which was sent to President Lula: "The continuation of the military intervention in Haiti will only increase repression in order to legitimize an unjust order. It is an attack on the sovereignty of all nations of the continent and only reinforces the Bush administration's drive to impose its unlimited hegemony. We the undersigned support the right to self-determination and we defend peace and fraternity between the peoples. The Haitian people must decide for themselves, without any foreign intervention. Immediately remove all Brazilian troops from Haiti." After the July 6 massacre in Cité-Soleil, delegations and protests have been scheduled for Thursday, July 21 in Brazil and the United States to demand the removal of the occupation troops and the respect of Haiti's national sovereignty. We, political and union leaders in the Caribbean, call on the Caribbean, American, and international democratic workers' movement to quickly intervene against the repression in Haiti, for the removal of all the occupation troops from the country, and for the respect of Haiti's sovereignty. Appeal launched by trade union activists from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Haiti
