00:00:00,565 --> 00:00:03,835
Hello, my name's Mounir,
mail carrier in Levallois.

2
00:00:03,833 --> 00:00:05,903
I've been on strike since March 26,

3
00:00:05,904 --> 00:00:08,364
like hundreds of postal workers in our area

4
00:00:08,364 --> 00:00:16,624
in all craft-level positions
and every kind of operation.

5
00:00:17,644 --> 00:00:20,414
The starting point of this strike was the green light

6
00:00:20,415 --> 00:00:22,695
given by the Labor Minister
to La Poste management

7
00:00:22,695 --> 00:00:26,115
authorizing the firing of our union representative, GaĂŤl Quirante.

8
00:00:26,743 --> 00:00:29,293
This is a decision that shows the relentless

9
00:00:29,297 --> 00:00:32,307
political and corporate
harassment of a union representative.

10
00:00:32,306 --> 00:00:34,416
Those kinds of methods are not new,

11
00:00:34,416 --> 00:00:38,246
but it's not a reason for us to put up with it.

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,150
So we're demanding
the reintegration of our co-worker GaĂŤl.

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,260
We're also on strike to make our demands heard,

14
00:00:46,743 --> 00:00:49,703
alert public opinion on our working conditions,

15
00:00:50,346 --> 00:00:54,016
warn the State and users
that La Poste as a company

16
00:00:54,019 --> 00:00:57,549
does not fulfill its duties
and obligations towards them.

17
00:00:58,402 --> 00:01:00,292
People don't realize it but,

18
00:01:00,289 --> 00:01:02,369
in the general assemblies of various industries,

19
00:01:02,372 --> 00:01:05,642
in the demos and meetings, hearing speeches,

20
00:01:05,642 --> 00:01:08,202
talking with our co-workers, on strike or not,

21
00:01:08,202 --> 00:01:11,352
talking with railroad workers,
with unemployed people,

22
00:01:11,351 --> 00:01:15,631
students, retirees, teachers, healthcare workers,

23
00:01:15,631 --> 00:01:18,881
retail employees or energy workers,

24
00:01:18,882 --> 00:01:21,202
with workers who are fighting now,

25
00:01:21,202 --> 00:01:24,072
from the private and public sectors,

26
00:01:24,242 --> 00:01:27,672
we can see that we all have the same issues.

27
00:01:28,031 --> 00:01:30,671
Our issues are not only those
of the postal workers of our area,

28
00:01:30,672 --> 00:01:32,292
but they're the issues of all workers,

29
00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:34,202
the issues of all French people,

30
00:01:34,201 --> 00:01:37,691
the strike is legitimate, the strike is just,

31
00:01:37,691 --> 00:01:40,031
but we need you to win the strike.

32
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:44,943
We need your support : 
morally, in person and above all financially.

33
00:01:44,951 --> 00:01:48,681
La Poste is pressuring us with 0€ paychecks,

34
00:01:48,683 --> 00:01:52,553
and even less than that,
because we will owe them money next month.

35
00:01:52,549 --> 00:01:56,119
We are determined and we will win!

36
00:01:56,132 --> 00:01:58,802
But to win, we need your support.

37
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:01,889
Support us, give to the strike fund.

38
00:02:01,903 --> 00:02:04,153
Let's all fight together!

39
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:05,369
Thank you.
