Hi everyone, friends, comrades, co-workers,

2
00:00:04,756 --> 00:00:09,146
we're calling on you
to support the postal workers' strike.

3
00:00:09,147 --> 00:00:10,437
Why?

4
00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:13,579
We've been on strike non-stop for more than 2 months,

5
00:00:13,579 --> 00:00:16,579
150 postal workers of our area.

6
00:00:17,177 --> 00:00:19,737
We're confronted with management staff

7
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:21,710
who want to crush us.

8
00:00:22,331 --> 00:00:23,571
How?

9
00:00:23,569 --> 00:00:25,029
Like this.

10
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:27,299
By issuing 0€ paychecks.

11
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,580
I'm not sure you can see it
from where the camera is...

12
00:00:29,581 --> 00:00:33,301
But there are 150 0€ paychecks.

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,209
But we won't back down!

14
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:37,960
Why won't we back down?

15
00:00:37,959 --> 00:00:40,659
Because we won't put up with job destructions,

16
00:00:40,658 --> 00:00:44,038
we won't put up with a heavier workload,

17
00:00:44,041 --> 00:00:47,081
we won't watch
our temp or short-term contract co-workers

18
00:00:47,078 --> 00:00:49,708
risk getting fired on a whim.

19
00:00:49,705 --> 00:00:53,305
Because supporting our strike is important,

20
00:00:53,301 --> 00:00:56,981
because our victory
would encourage other strikes,

21
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:59,060
other victories, other struggles,

22
00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:02,330
and it'd also help
bringing struggles together

23
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:04,550
in La Poste and beyond,

24
00:01:04,551 --> 00:01:08,141
because today
we really need a global mobilization.

25
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:11,450
That's why we encourage you
to send us checks to

26
00:01:11,445 --> 00:01:15,645
"Sud Poste 92, 51 rue Jean Bonal in La Garenne-Colombes"

27
00:01:15,647 --> 00:01:17,497
or to go online and give to "Le Pot Commun".

28
00:01:17,499 --> 00:01:19,689
[Exact info in video description below]

29
00:01:19,689 --> 00:01:21,809
We are determined no matter what,

30
00:01:21,811 --> 00:01:23,821
we won't back down until we win,

31
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:27,030
and we need financial support to win.

32
00:01:27,029 --> 00:01:30,909
To those who want to destroy jobs,

33
00:01:30,911 --> 00:01:32,651
postal workers say :

34
00:01:32,649 --> 00:01:34,539
Resistance!

35
00:01:34,541 --> 00:01:36,571
What do they say?

36
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:38,180
Resistance!

37
00:01:38,179 --> 00:01:39,919
One more time!

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,370
Resistance!
