The distribution of the document has been produced, as if it were illegal brochure (memory is sometimes encyst as nostalgia), under the table, offering it only to "trusted clients."

STRIKE IN Fuentetaja
.
Dear customers and friends,
.
Because of our disagreement and dissatisfaction with the regulatory measures proposed so far (especially in recent days) the undersigned - Fuentetaja-workers, declare their intention to begin a strike call which set the following statement of reasons :
8 years, (Half of the signers were not in the library then. In fact, Mr. Juan Sebastian Cardenas and Carlos Garcia Simon are just a few months in this house) moment Pedro Pablo Mansilla Fuentetaja reached as co-owner, and despite the constant promises (never has made any promises on wage increases. However, it undertook at the same time that the manager did and management of the library, trying to keep afloat and keep jobs, especially for workers who are over 30 years in business) all workers (without exception) have suffered a wage freeze that continues to date. (There has been no wage freeze, but the increases provided by law, the covenants contained in the sector, and CPI increases have been supported by voluntary improvements made in the salaries of all workers, who historically had a bookstore without any legal obligation when the situation in the sector was buoyant and that has remained over time even in periods of crisis) This, coupled with the numerous deficiencies in the internal operation of the store, (The operation of the library is the responsibility of the owners, but in a company where most employees are more than 30 years, except for two who have gone on strike and are over 10, can be said that most decisions management have been agreed and guided by a basic instinct of survival. Then it is reasonable to assume that the deficiencies that may have may be attributed to some aliquot who now declared innocent of any wrongdoing) what led some workers (some do not, only two workers: School and Amelia Gomez Inigo Jáuregui Eguía) to claim without further delay a fair wage revision, according to the functions performed and the specific weight of each worker. (this statement encierrra an explicit contempt for the rest of the companions, which the convenors not must have "specific gravity. Fortunately, they have job category, which is what is required in a contractual relationship, and responsibility, which is what we need in a professional relationship with the owners, manager and colleagues).

.
course, and it should be noted, we welcome the fact that a significant proportion of the workforce, despite not having taken any action to vindicate those rights, (This statement is false, but above all unfair. The workers led by the steward and the manager have been studied for months the situation and possibilities economic to try to fit a maximum wage increase supported by the activity of the library, nothing self indulgent and rigorous, with an eye toward maintaining the company and wages) has finally been helped by a rise in 10% (no-sector company that has raised a similar increase when the news are the most frequent closure of the libraries by mounting losses. Minimize, if not contempt - "consider ridiculous" - this effort is a irresponsible states, only compatible with undeclared interests) (complacently accepted), an increase that we consider ridiculous (having into account the base amount from which such increase is (The monetary amount of that part is well above what is established conventions, which is why it has been applying CPI increases under voluntary improvements. Therefore, the starting point is much better than most retail stores, including department stores) and that in addition to serving as an element of coercion- ("Since when a wage increase can be considered as a constraint? do all the constraints that have to suffer the workers in the workplace are increases of 10%!) just help compensate for the loss of purchasing power for years unattended, and certainly more than was offered and almost imposed by the company. (False: The company offered an increase of 4% and compensation for the years of dedication to the company of another 4%. But the steward chose to include all workers to up 4% of the time disassociating this library. Therefore, an increase without taking into consideration the age of 8%. Fuentetaja who was then wanted to reward the attitude of offering veterans an additional 2%. Thus, the negotiations remained as follows: 8% for all workers, and 10% for workers over 30 years old in the house) . Obviously, this proposal by the company in no way solve the numerous structural deficiencies of the library. (As of today we wonder why they have to see "the shortcomings estructirales" to wage bargaining) .
.
recent years has been put forward as an excuse that the library does not yield profits. (This is not an excuse, but an objective fact, as can easily be checked with the accounts presented in the Registry and Finance. And beyond our specific results can be check this point with a quick review of the number of bookstores have closed in Madrid ue-over 400 in the last five years) . In fact, the absence of a working structure in Fuentetaja hardly helps that purpose. After the first six months since the reopening in its new location, (Fuentetaja could fire all the workers at no cost as closing consecuancia urged by the City as a result of poor state of the historic building was located. Far from it and committed to the future of a legendary bookshop in Madrid and to the welfare and the welfare and safety of their workers did a through movement in record time and during all that time we fail to pay even one month's payroll. Moreover handed out some bonuses as compensation for their efforts in the days of Transfer) the shelves are empty in many sections and departments, inexplicably postponed the creation of a web page, functional and structured from a commercial perspective media does not address or addresses with due interest orders (institutional and private clients) so that they are served effectively, a third of the library space is unused (ie the basement with an "icy" deals "section or which also is a café and hitherto dormant ghost-). Not to mention the more general issues, but essential in the daily life of any bookstore worth its salt: not monitored the library fund and there is a guiding concept defined library. (could answer each and every one of the colorful statements about the operation of the library, but we would not correspond to the two strikers or is hereby apra own treat. They are complicated and difficult issues to deal so flippantly. If so obvious and immediate solutions are not so many shops have closed meritorious governed by booksellers. Only causing stupor say they want to sell books to teach Jesus Ayuso, bookseller booksellers for over 50 years, with a trayecoria recognized with the Grand Cross of Merit of Labor. Or Alfonso Otero, manager, with over 42 years of experience in this house, and other partners. All in these words simply empty statement and iconsciente those who have no knowledge or sufficient experience: In addition, knowledge-many or few, that they exhibit on books they have learned in this "negligent" library).
.
We are well, and continuing with the above, a surprising situation in which somehow conveys and requires "passivity and conformism", while both the direct and responsibility in a clear sign of negligence, they do nothing to boost sales of the store or better and more frequent consideration of our bookstore. Interestingly also, we are asked to respect also the name of the library, when in fact they (directors and managers), stoned the prestige and heritage of a profession underestimating their booksellers, by treating them as dependents without any qualification. (Many adjectives disqualifying those who remain devoted to open the library's oldest and most prestigious of the capital of Spain. Successful because, of course, in large part to their bookshelves. In all, not just those who have less time in this house. It is an arrogance they think they are only the guardians of the essence of Fuentetaja, and not the combination of the personality of its founder, the 50-year history, committed attitude and culture books, his tireless customers, staff in full (and this has left us along the prologanda existence) and not just the two bookcases of "weight") .
.
For all the foregoing, the failure in the management and as the remote possibility of improvement in the light of the above stated, we reject the proposal of a salary increase dependent on the earnings of the library, (confidence in their proposed reforms are outlined in the rejection of a variable, so common economic sector will retail sale, which consisted in distributing benefits to 50% of the bookstore when the store's sales increased to 700 euros a day on the monthly average) is negligible whenever the internal progress in this area and little or nothing to expect from the directive itself is not perpetuating the freeze that we have suffered for eight years.
.
Finally, we consider it relevant to report that the fulfillment of our legitimate right to strike has already cost the first dismissal, that of our friend Carlos Garcia Simon (This man had only a few months in the library and that was okay increases, which is proposed to change the category, but refused to work for a so-called naive and solidarity with the two strikers, who already had low activity (sit-down, as they themselves stated) in a spurious preparation strike. Still, he was offered the opportunity to stay. However freely chose to sign the Settlement and carried more than 2,000 euros for his association with excasos Fuentetaja period. A purpose of the other signatory to the paper, Juan Sebasian Cardenas, we simply say no worker is voluntarily get started prior to the call for the strike). Clearly, this is an even more intolerable coming from a library of known leftist tradition, and whose majority shareholder and principal in charge of the situation (Pedro Pablo Mansilla), is a developer who has held high positions in the English Socialist Workers Party. (This statement is simply a deshogo own arguments and those who have no intends to rely on the private activities of people to justify an outrageous position. We will not make public any personal bias of those who are exercising a right which, being legitimate, at any point considered unjustified).
.
remain, and hoping that with your support will help to normalize the situation, hoping to remain part of your relationship with books.
.
Signed Sincerely.:
- Amelia Gomez
