The Charter of Rights of the Basque Country offers us on 19 November the possibility of ceasing to look with envy at the stoppages of England, the manifestation of Berlin or the strikes and mobilisations of the French State. Local situations will make us protest and the workers of each country will relate their demands to the reality of each one.
Let us put the matter in place: we must be recognised and paid for the value that corresponds to our work. This debt includes the process of unmeasured enrichment.
But, after all, we will all be mobilised in the same situation: that each time a few have the possibility of accumulating more wealth, because they increasingly have the power to appropriate the benefits of majority work. Fewer limitations to disregard the value of our work and assume the added value we generate through it. Working on the market or outside the market. Work takes the form of employment or, as with household chores, the form of a gender-linked function that we musutruk in the name of love.
It cannot be denied that workers are losing purchasing power, and unforeseen inflation has made evident the trend that follows, in all its dimension and dimension. We have not been impoverished by inflation, but by the ever-lower wages we receive in exchange for our work; in the case of care, women have been impoverished by the wages they do not receive, even though they have been working all their lives.
Let us go out and denounce that we are losing purchasing power, but let us put the matter in its place: we must recognise the value of our work and pay accordingly. It is precisely in this debt that the process of excessive enrichment is found, while we are impoverished.
