> Comunique from The Workers of Brukman Factory, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
>
> WE DEMAND: Immediate Subsidy: to Municipalize the Brukman Factory under
> worker control. The 18 of December of 2001, the employer's association
> of Brukman (CEBEX) left the factory, leaving the goods, machineries and
> all the debts unpaid. As if this were not enough, they have owed us workers
> 4 months of wages, Christmas bonuses, vacation pay, and family wages
> for 5 years. That is why we took over the factory, so we can operate
> it, under our control and we are beginning a STRIKE FUND, to guarantee
> that the struggle does not get broken by hunger.
>
> All these steps gave us power to defend until the last consequences the
> source of our work with which we maintain our 120 families, in spite
> of the treason of our union. We believe that this must be the answer
> of all workers to each company that closes, dismisses or suspends comrades.
>
> Now we are going to have to look Justice in the face. We must not let
> them close this factory. We are fighting for a subsidy to cover costs
> until we can completely MUNICIPALIZE UNDER WORKERS CONTROL immediately.
>
>
> We needed solidarity among the working class mass organizations, of the
> unions in the struggle, the centers of combative students, the organizations
> of unemployed people, political and neighbohood parties that fight with
> the cacerolazos in the assemblies and of youth.
> LET US FIGHT TOGETHER.
>
> We demand worker control of all factories that close down, fire workers,
> or lay off workers.
> NO MORE WORTHLESS CONTRACTS! YES TO DIGINIFIED AND GENUINE WORK! NOT
> ONE MORE UNEMPLOYED PERSON!
>
> MARCH MONDAY 4 FEBRUARY TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES
