薩爾瓦多：將不當關廠的公司國有化並交給工人控制管理！

薩爾瓦多國內弗洛倫齊工業公司（Industrias Florenzi）的勞工正在與他們的老板和國家機器抗爭，對抗不當關廠和欠薪。請將您的聲援發送到redaccionmilitantebpj@gmail.com，並在社交媒體上發布聲援宣言，附上圖片和影音，並標簽為#SolidaridadObrerasFlorenzi。

2020年3月16日，薩爾瓦多政府宣布實行全國封鎖，這意味著當地資本家可以趁勢削減工資，不繳納工人們社會保障金，甚至完全關閉一些工廠。由資本家洛佩茲（Sergio Lopez）所擁有的弗洛倫齊工業公司就是如此。洛佩茲將他的全部員工（200多名工人）以配合封鎖為由送回家。而這些勞工在去年3月、4月、5月和6月之間都沒有拿到工資。7月1日，他們被裁員，而資方則關閉了所有業務。工人們表示，資方拖欠的賠償金和工資高達50萬美元。

7月17日，由於資方仍未償付勞工們相關的付款，弗洛倫齊的勞工們開始占領工廠作為擔保。在相關法律程序還在進行時，工人持續地占領著廠房的大門，但至今沒有任何部和法院作出對他們有利的裁決。這說明，資產階級所主導的體制和機構根本是為老板階級謀取利益，從而使勞工遭受痛苦、不穩定和疾病的折磨。直到今天，勞工們僅僅依靠階級的團結才得以讓抗爭持續下去，這說明被壓迫階級人民之間存在著聯系，這種聯系在階級鬥爭最艱難的時刻就會表現出來。

這次抗爭已經用盡了所有的法律途徑，勞工的要求也遇到了國家官僚的阻礙。工人之間的氣氛已經相當微妙，他們面臨著來自銀行和地主騷擾的額外壓力。薩爾瓦多國內失業率已經很高，有些工人再加上高齡（有些人從1985年開始就在這家公司工作），或者患有慢性病，已經無法再找到其他工作。

工人發動絕食

面對這種絕望的局面，在沒有任何其他法律選擇的情況下，4名勞工（3名婦女和1名男子）於今年1月8日開始絕食至今，但沒有得到當局的任何回應。

弗洛倫齊勞工的抗爭表達了當下布格磊（Nayib Bukele）政府的謊言和失敗。他們不僅放棄而且攻擊勞工所發起的抗爭。通過布格磊的勞工部長卡斯特羅（Rolando Castro）歪曲現實，政府在社交媒體上指責這些婦女勞工是由反對黨操作的。這是一種反動和無恥的行為。

另一方面，勞工的抗爭表達了資產階級國家的機構和法律框架的反動性，半年多來，資產階級國家的機構和法律框架使勞工遭受了悲慘的境遇，同時保護了剝削者的利益：這就是資本主義體制的真面目，它的機構和法律，是為強大的資本家量身定做的體制。

青年組織、女權主義者和工會都在動員支持弗洛倫齊勞工們的抗爭。不幸的是，相當一部分工會被布格磊政府收買，他們沒有對這場鬥爭做出表態。其中一些工會領導人甚至建議勞工同志們放棄鬥爭，警告說這是不值得的，注定要失敗。

激進的薩爾瓦多工會聯盟（The Salvadoran Trade Union Coordinator）早在這場戰鬥開始之前，就一直對勞工同志們的鬥爭保持著不間斷的、積極的支持。另一方面，以法拉本多·馬蒂民族解放陣線（FMLN）為代表的左派議會政黨卻在國會對當局中提出不痛不癢的訴求，盲目地相信體制和資產階級法律程序，既不動員團結，也不進行議會外的鬥爭。

擴大工人的團結

我們賽爾瓦多人民青年團（Bloque Popular Juvenil，國際馬克思主義趨勢賽爾瓦多支部）自去年7月以來持續在聲援弗洛倫齊勞工的抗爭，傳播工人同志們的訊息，記錄他們的鬥爭，並在全國和全中美洲各地與盡可能多的工會和組織聯系。在每一次集會、活動和組織網絡之間的會議上，我們都在鼓動團結，譴責侵犯弗洛倫齊工人勞動權利的行為，揭露現今體制及其法律和機構的虛偽，我們將繼續不斷地堅持，直到取得工人的勝利。

幸運的是，弗洛倫齊勞工們並不孤單，他們在許多年輕人、工會會員和工人中擁有巨大的支持儲備，不僅在全國各地，而在國際層面上也是如此：工人的團結正越來越廣闊地傳播到世界各地。

爭取工人控制廠房，停止大規模裁員

面對當前資本主義的危機，許多企業都將停業，弗洛倫齊勞工的例子表明了反抗和工人鬥爭是工人階級必須走的路。我們應提出如下的口號：「你關廠，我占領！」面對任何關廠的威脅，被裁員的公司員工必須不惜一切代價避免工作崗位的被剔除。我們必須要求公司在勞工的管理控制下的征用和國有化，並把這些鬥爭擴展到不斷擴大的工人占領控制的工廠網絡中，這是我們保住工作的唯一途徑。

弗洛倫齊勞工鬥爭的成敗也取決於我們整個工人階級的行動，這場鬥爭的最後結果將對所有的工資勞動者產生積極或消極的影響。因此，一切革命的和進步的力量都必須保證弗洛倫齊勞工抗爭的成功，無論我們在世界的哪一個角落，都要進行戰鬥，表示團結。

工人階級必須團結！ 

弗洛倫齊工業必須被國有化並置於在工人控制下！ 

讓我們高舉國際工人團結的旗幟！

弗洛倫齊同志們的鬥爭就是所有被壓迫者的鬥爭！

同志們的勝利就是整個工人階級的勝利！
