ICEM&rsquo;s Spanish affiliates in the Chemicals industry have agreed a renewal of the&nbsp;collective agreement for the sector. The previous agreement expired in December 2009. The agreement, signed 9 February by ICEM affiliates FITEQA-CC.OO. and FIA-UGT, was described by CC.OO.&rsquo;s Communications Officer Fernando Lezcano, as a model to be followed by others in overcoming the financial crisis. 
 
The Agreement will be valid for three years, from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012. 
 
The economic and financial crisis caused the loss of 1.5 million jobs in Spain over the last 18 months, making negotiations between business and trade unions more significant. Spain is now in its seventh consecutive quarter of recession and unemployment is at 4 million for the first time in Spain&rsquo;s history. 
<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/SpainFIAUGT.jpg" width="130" height="131" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/SpainFITEQA.jpg" width="155" height="126" />
The unions accepted the limitations of what could be achieved in the negotiations, but prioritised commitments on job stability and changes that would stop the rise of precarious work. The new agreement recommends that local collective agreements place emphasis on permanent jobs and a reduction of temporary work. Also equal opportunities for women and young people must be prioritised. These issues will be continually negotiated on during the period of the agreement, in the newly-created Follow-up Committee. 
 
Factors such as re-distribution of work, shorter working hours, and a program of partial retirement along with replacement contracts, are seen as important tools to avoid redundancies. 
 
Wage policies for the next three years were agreed by the trade unions and employers&rsquo; organizations, raising salaries by 2.5% over the three years of the agreement.

Spain: Renewed Collective Agreement for the Chemicals Sector

<img src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/InBrief100.jpg" width="100" height="39" alt="" />
The negotiations towards a new national collective agreement for the manufacturing industry in Denmark had been deadlocked, see ICEM report <a href="/en/78-ICEM-InBrief/3634-Danish-Contract-Negotiations-Deadlocked-on-National-Level">here</a>, but the renewal of the agreement was signed on Monday 22 February by the ICEM-affiliated general union, Central Organization of Industrial Employees in Denmark (CO-industri) and the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI). However the HK private trade union rejected the agreement. 
 
Gains for workers across the sector include two additional weeks for parental leave, improved redundancy pay, improved monitoring of health and safety for night-shift workers, improved working conditions for shift workers, and newly created authority on equal pay. 
 
The collective bargaining round directly affects 240,000 workers in the manufacturing industry. But it also indirectly affects an additional 350,000 workers in the private sector. As previously reported by ICEM, historically, the manufacturing agreement is used as a blueprint for other negotiations. 

<img src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/DenmarkFLAG.gif" width="160" height="121" alt="" />
Both Hans Christensen, the negotiator for DI business, and Co-industri President Thorkild E. Jensen, were content with the renewed agreement, after negotiators worked through the night to beat a deadline which would have moved negotiations to a tribunal. Jensen described the agreement as &ldquo;balanced and guaranteed our members&rsquo; jobs&rdquo;. The agreement is valid for the period 1 March 2010 to 1 March 2012. 
 
Night workers were a priority for trade union negotiators in the talks, with free health exams provided every two years and for those employees who are advised against night work, their employer must find them another job. Night workers will also be eligible for up to ten extra days off annually. Changes to the rules on pension contributions will discourage employers from moving to precarious contracts. Apprentices see a 4.5% pay increase over the two years. 
 
The deal has been described as a &ldquo;crisis agreement&rdquo; and sees trade unions agreeing to only a small pay increase and for the first time since 1991, no increase in pension contributions.

Danish Manufacturing Collective Agreement in Place

More and more, multinational companies, as well as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its subsidiaries, are using non-direct and contract workers to perform key functions in Nigeria&rsquo;s oil and gas industries. That is the assessment of both ICEM affiliates in the country, the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN). 
 
The proliferation of such employment &ndash; referred to as casualisation in Nigeria &ndash; in fact, has meant that many companies have completely done away with full-time junior staff, or blue-collar workers, in their employ. One example is Mobil Producing Nigeria, a subsidiary of the world&rsquo;s largest energy concern, ExxonMobil, which has completely phased out NUPENG members in favour of contract staffing. 
<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/NigeriaPengassan.JPG" width="90" height="95" />&nbsp;&nbsp; <img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/NigeriaNupeng100.gif" width="100" height="103" />
Casualisation in Nigeria is synonymous with cheap labour and maximisation of profits. The common fact is that when companies phase out full-time staff, they re-surface as short-term contract workers where rights to Freedom of Association are limited, their social entitlements are curtailed, and career paths become vague or non-existent. 
 
In early February, the two unions combined to wage a two-day strike against Mobil Producing&rsquo;s downstream operations across several states along the Niger Delta. The root cause of the strike was that several contractors serving Mobil Producing had sacked Nigerian nationals from full-time positions, replacing them disposable, casual workers. Those sackings were not just to junior staff, but also came among the ranks of highly skilled, professional, and experienced nationals in technical, engineering, administrative, and commercial positions. 
 
Despite several conventions between the unions and employers to address casualisation, Mobil Producing refused to address the issue. This led the ICEM to bring the matter to the attention of the US-based parent company. That letter can be found <a href="/sites/default/files/migration/icem/15.exxonmobil.ceo.16Feb.pdf">here</a>. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/0906NigeriansWgs20002.jpg" width="300" height="159" />
Pengassan and Nupeng leaders at ICEM Headquarters
At one subsidiary of NNPC, the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG), it is estimated that a full 60% of all workers are hired through labour brokers. They have no registered terms or conditions of work, are without social welfare benefits, and can be fired at will. It is equivalent to a modern form of slavery. 
 
NLNG and other companies operating in Nigeria&rsquo;s energy sector claim it is essential to their viability to outsource work not related to their core activities. But the question of what constitutes a company&rsquo;s core business remains open. Is it exploration and drilling, marketing and transportation, catering and cleaning, clerical and administrative? Companies operating in Nigeria&rsquo;s oil and gas patches make the argument that all are non-core. But in reality, all workers in these areas are oil and gas workers, and all deserve a minimum set of social benefits and job security measures, as set by national law and international labour standards. 
 
NUPENG&rsquo;s newly elected President Igwe Achese said there is ample evidence that &ldquo;multinational companies and their indigenous collaborators collude in reducing direct employees in efforts to de-unionise, create disaffection among workers, and to evade responsible employment practices. 
 
&ldquo;All workers, whether full-time workers or those employed by contractors performing tasks for primary employers, deserve set conditions of work, rights and privileges, and certainty in career paths in order that they know they have secure futures.&rdquo; 
 
The ICEM will continue to champion NUPENG and PENGASSAN in the unions&rsquo; initiatives to combat the menace that casualisation brings to quality work life in Nigeria.

Casualisation Eroding Decent Work Doctrine in Nigeria’s Oil, Gas Sectors

ICEM&rsquo;s Colombian affiliate the National Oil Workers Union (USO) called for international solidarity in their conflict with British Petroleum (BP). Workers at the BP plant at Tauramena, part of the Cusiana oil field in Casanare, Eastern Colombia, have been striking since 22 January for improved wages. On 15 February the notorious ESMAD, Colombia's notorioius riot police, were sent in to attack the strikers&rsquo; picket line. Three USO members are still in hospital with injuries sustained from the police attack. 
 
View a union video of the attack <a href="http://www.usofrenteobrero.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=519:trabajadores-petroleros-de-tauramena-agredidos-por-el-emad-video&amp;catid=60:tauramena&amp;Itemid=100">here</a>.&nbsp; 
 
Last week BP attempted to bring in scabs to the central processing plant, but they were stopped by strikers who chained themselves to the entrance gates. This sparked local BP management to come to an agreement with the USO Bargaining Committee; however the outsourced contractors, SAR Energy, operating at Tauramena refused to recognize the agreement. Negotiations have been ongoing since then, through five negotiating committees: labour problems, social investment, goods and services, environment, and human rights, these temporary committees are working toward a deadline of 16 April, when agreement must be reached.

USO supporters outside BP Headquarters, London
USO&rsquo;s call for solidarity actions was answered last Friday, 5 March, when protestors demonstrated noisily opposite the BP Headquarters in London. The action was organised by the Colombia Solidarity Campaign. USO urges its supporters to continue to mobilise while the negotiations are ongoing. The ICEM supports the call on the Colombian government to insist that oil companies operating in Colombia respect the rights of workers to organise and to take strike action. USO is also calling for an official enquiry into the close links between paramilitary groups, and oil exploitation companies.

Oil Workers in Colombia Suffer Police Repression

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/InBrief100.jpg" width="100" height="39" />
Efforts to end the stalemate in the Canadian nickel strike between the United Steelworkers (USW) and Vale through independent mediation failed yesterday, with the USW giving a practical solution to the 239-day strike: a return to work offer and unresolved issues between the two parties submitted to binding arbitration. 
 
The Brazilian mining company rejected the union&rsquo;s attempt to resolve the dispute, which is marked this Saturday, 13 March, by 3,400 union families being&nbsp;on picket lines for eight months. 
 
Now, global trade unions will ramp up strategic plans on behalf of the USW, first by riding into Sudbury, Canada, in two weeks time to reinforce support to striking nickel miners of the USW. A two-day &ldquo;Bridging the Gap&rdquo; manifestation, 22-23 March, will bring trade union leaders from the Brazilian mining company&rsquo;s world-wide operations to northern Ontario province. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/USAUSW.jpg" width="231" height="127" />
The unionists, to include ICEM General Secretary Manfred Warda, will join the strikers of USW Local 6500 and their families in a march down Sudbury&rsquo;s main street on 22 March, with a global strategy forum scheduled the next day. That forum will include plans for &ldquo;Global Days of Action&rdquo; against Vale, due to occur 5-11 April. 
 
Delegates from Vale and other worksites affiliated with the world&rsquo;s second largest mining house could come from as far away as Brazil, Mozambique, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, and South Africa to attend the event. The early April days of action are meant to give a visible display of disgust inside Vale operations, as well as in front of Vale offices, over the company&rsquo;s insistence that the USW give it unprecedented contract concession in negotiations with Local 6500 of Sudbury, Ontario, and Local 6200 of Port Colborne, Ontario, two unions that share a common labour agreement. 
 
Vale&rsquo;s bargaining intransigence again stood out, after a flicker of hope late last month when the company agreed to sit down with an independent mediator for exploratory talks to end the strike. Those talks began at month&rsquo;s end, but failed on 7 March when mediator Kevin Burkett declared, &ldquo;I am disappointed to report that agreement is not possible at this time. I have therefore broken off discussions.&rdquo; 
<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/0909sudbury.jpg" width="260" height="195" />
The mediation did produce an unprecedented offer by the USW to return to work in Sudbury and Port Colborne, with a three-member binding arbitration panel to hear the unresolved issues. The USW proposed that Burkett chair the arbitration panel, with the union and Vale each selecting the other two panel members. Vale adamantly rejected the proposal. 
 
In Labrador/Newfoundland Province, meanwhile, a provincial conciliator will again attempt to reconcile differences between USW Local 9508 and Vale in a return to bargaining on 15-16 March. The union and its 250 members in Goose Bay and Voiseys Bay, Labrador, began a strike against Vale&rsquo;s copper and nickel operations in Canada&rsquo;s maritime province on 1 August 2009. Local 9508 and Vale did attempt to resolve differences through provincial mediation in late January, but those efforts broke off on 24 January in St. Johns, Newfoundland. 
 
The breakdown of talks between USW Locals 6500 and 6200 and Vale in Toronto yesterday come just a few weeks before a scheduled 30 March hearing before the Ontario Labour Relations Board on a charge brought by the USW that the company is guilty of bad-faith bargaining. Vale had insisted it would not resume bargaining until USW Locals 6500 and 6200 made a willingness to accede to the concessionary demands of the company. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/0703WayneFraser.jpg" width="150" height="151" />
Wayne Fraser, USW District 6 Director
Those concessions &ndash; common before Local 9508 as well &ndash; include retirement decreases, creation of a two-tiered pension scheme, with a defined contribution plan for new hires, steep downgrades to a production bonus, and unilateral company discretion concerning outsourcing. USW has insisted throughout that it wants a return to bargaining under no pre-conditions. 
 
The charge before the Ontario Labour Relations Board claims Vale has prolonged the strike by its refusal to bargain, and USW is asking the agency to order the company to pay lost wages and benefits to workers, as well as reimburse the union for strike benefits. 
 
This strike of 239 days likely now will surpass the longest mining strike in Canadian history. That occurred from September 1978 to June 1979 &ndash; 267 days &ndash; between the USW and Vale&rsquo;s predecessor in Sudbury, Inco Mining. The one distinction between this strike and several skirmishes between the USW and Inco, however, is that Canadian-based Inco never attempted to operate the mines, smelting, and other&nbsp;operations with replacement workers, as Vale is doing&nbsp;now.

Global Support Again Comes to Canada’s Vale Strike; USW Gives Solution to End It

Today in Brazil, the Central &Uacute;nica dos Trabalhadores (CUT) will begin a 100-kilometre, 10-day march from Campinas in S&atilde;o Paulo state to the city of S&atilde;o Paulo itself in honour of International Women&rsquo;s Day. The march, celebrating 100 years of the announcement of International Women&rsquo;s Day and under the banner &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll Keep Marching Until Every Woman is Free,&rdquo; will highlight the continuing fight for common rights and public services, peace and demilitarization, economy autonomy, and an end to violence against women. 
 
A main objective of the pilgrimage will be CUT&rsquo;s drive for total wage equality between men and women. Even though Brazil has ratified ILO Convention 100, the 1951 Equal Remuneration Convention, the South American country has a long ways to go in order to achieve wage parity. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/1003.cut_.women_.2.jpg" width="226" height="233" />
CUT Secretary of Working Women, Rosane Silva, said that every nation that has ratified ILO Convention 100 must speed up laws and practices to ensure that the articles of the convention are met. In Brazil, as a means to enhance subsidies to meet that goal, CUT has done a national study on wage disparities. Throughout 2010, the national labour centre will present those figures before governing bodies and employers to get them to comply with Convention 100. 
 
Also today in S&atilde;o Paulo, Sindicato Nacional dos Papeleiros (SINAP), the ICEM pulp and paper affiliate that is part of CNQ/CUT, will conduct a manifestation demanding equal rights for women in front of the Suzano paper mill.

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) of the UK released a new publication today, on International Women&rsquo;s Day. The magazine profiles, and gives voice to, prominent women trade unionists from around the world, specifically the global south. 
 
The TUC carries out considerable international solidarity work, much of this work in the global south focuses on women, as the publication explains &ldquo;whether they are in paid work or not, women make up an ever growing majority of the world&rsquo;s poor&rdquo;. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/070720iraqHashmeyaElectUnion.jpg" width="175" height="118" />
Hasmeya Muhsin
The ICEM is proud that their Executive Committee member Hashmeya Muhsin is one of the women to be profiled. Hashmeya, President of the Electricity Workers&rsquo; Union in Basra, Iraq, has been a key figure in the campaign for a new, fair labour law in Iraq. 
 
Hashmeya won the Dutch Human Rights Award, the FNV&rsquo;s prestigious Febe Elisabeth Velasquez Trade Union Award, in May 2009. The money awarded with this prize was used to fund the recent Social Security Campaign in Iraq, fighting for land, health, and equality reforms in the war-torn country. 
 
Putting herself under continuing personal risk, Hashmeya Muhsin is the first female trade union leader in Iraq, and one of the very few in the Arab-speaking world. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/1003.women_.2.jpg" width="302" height="149" />
The publication also includes, among others, profiles of project coordinators against HIV/AIDS in Africa, a brave woman trade unionist from Zimbabwe, and of course Su Su Nway, the jailed trade unionist in Burma.

Geneva Marks International Women’s Day

ICEM International Women’s Day Bulletin: 8 March 2010 / Boletín de la ICEM

Trade union rights in Turkey were repeatedly violated in 2009. The current strike of TEKEL workers has now been running for over 70 days, following a snap decision by the government to close their workplaces. The striking workers and their families have left their homes, travelled to Ankara and have been pitched in tents in protest against the decision. Temperatures reach -15 degrees at night there. 
 
TEKEL, the former state-owned tobacco company was recently privatised. Privatisation and the decision of the government to close all of the company&rsquo;s warehouses caused the loss of 12,000 jobs. 
 
Protestors have been violently dealt with by police. After beginning their action outside the headquarters of the ruling political party, the AKP, protestors were removed by force by police on 16 December. The following day, with the demonstration continuing in a nearby park, police erected barricades around the park and proceeded to attack demonstrators with water hoses, tear gas, and then with clubs. Tents have since housed the demonstrators outside the headquarters of T&uuml;rk-Is, the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions. The union of the tobacco workers Tek Gıda-Is is affiliated to T&uuml;rk-Is and ICEM&rsquo;s sister International, the IUF. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/1002.turkey.tobacco.strike.3.JPG" width="301" height="200" />
Turkish Law gives protection to workers affected by privatisation in this way, alternative employment, with full employee benefits ought to be provided. However the Turkish government continues to refuse to accede to its responsibilities in this regard. 
 
The ICEM was in Ankara yesterday to show its continuous support for the striking TEKEL tobacco workers who have been living in tents around the headquarters of T&uuml;rk-Is. ICEM&rsquo;s Director for Industry and Corporate Affairs Joe Drexler and Chemical Industry Officer Kemal &Ouml;zkan, a Turkish-origin trade unionist, conveyed the solidarity and greetings of 20 million ICEM members from around the world to the striking workers who assembled in front of the building of T&uuml;rk-Is. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/1002.turkey.tobacco.strike.2.JPG" width="301" height="200" />
&quot;All workers of the world are behind you; we have been and will continue to be shoulder-to-shoulder with you in your rightful and honourable struggle. I am sure that you courageous workers, with such determination, will be the winners. Please continue your fight&rdquo;, stated Drexler. &ldquo;The strong voice of solidarity for TEKEL workers is heard throughout the world. Yours is so strong that the whole world hears it clearly. Your struggle is our struggle. We will always be with you until we win together&rdquo;, said &Ouml;zkan in his speech. The ICEM delegation then toured all the tents, where the workers live and struggle, and were very well received by the workers. 
 
Earlier this week, the ICEM sent letters to the Turkish President, Prime Minister, Labour Minister and Ambassador in Bern. General Secretary Manfred Warda stated ICEM&rsquo;s support for TEKEL workers and urged to find a solution as soon as possible. 

<img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/articles/1002.turkey.tobacco.strike.JPG" width="301" height="200" />
ICEM&rsquo;s actions in support of the Turkish tobacco workers will be ongoing. The first will be to join the ITUC Geneva Office-led delegation with the Turkish mission in Geneva, in line with the global solidarity day on 26 February. The delegation will directly raise the uneasiness of the global union movement over the situation of TEKEL workers, and demand an urgent solution. The delegation of the ICEM will be composed of Kemal &Ouml;zkan, Carol Bruce and Tom Grinter, while other global union federations headquartered in Geneva will also send representatives to the meeting. 
 
The ICEM urges its affiliates and supporters to write in support of the TEKEL workers to President Abdullah G&uuml;l, <a href="mailto:cumhurbaskanligi@tccb.gov.tr">cumhurbaskanligi@tccb.gov.tr</a>, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, <a href="mailto:bimer@basbakanlik.gov.tr">bimer@basbakanlik.gov.tr</a>, and Labor and Social Security Minister Omer DIN&Ccedil;ER <a href="mailto:iletisim@csgb.gov.tr">iletisim@csgb.gov.tr</a>.
