Every year on May 1st, also of course this year, thousands of veteran union members will find themselves in the streets of our towns and cities participating with the new generations of militants in the obligatory demonstration of that day. We will hug each other and in a repeated ritual we will ask each other about our health, our grandchildren, our sons and daughters' work, and our common colleagues who have not come to the demonstration this year. Each one of us will formulate our editorial about the political and social situation of the country and the world. We will proudly remember common struggles, forgetting old differences and harsh confrontations that we sometimes had and that, fortunately, no longer occur today in our union organizations, at least with those levels of harshness that many of us experience. Like every year, when the demonstration is over , we will meet with the same group to have some beers and pinchos or a paella, in the same bar or tavern as each year.
And also, like every year, we will take stock of the success or failure of the demonstration: “ more people than last year, it's normal the way things are”, “ we are always the same, damn it! " , " Where are the thousands of unemployed ? that are full of people ”……. But above all in the conversation between union veterans there will be the recognition and awareness of Costa Rica WhatsApp Number how much the world of work has changed. Before, not so many years ago, the rules were few and well defined, and being a union member was a strong choice with clear profiles. It was a hard and difficult decision because it transformed our lives and those of our families, but it enjoyed social recognition that in recent years has weakened as a consequence of the visceral campaigns of those sectors that see unionism as a risk for their policies and privileges. May Day is freedom We will recognize, with timid humility, that the union activity of the recent past was less complex than the current one because the working conditions were more homogeneous, more collective.
On the other hand, today, although the task of the union representative remains just as demanding as it was decades ago, it is a little more complex and therefore more difficult to entrust only to spontaneity or past experience, because it is obliged to represent greater diversities and new challenges. , such as the radical technological change, digitalization,…. Now we must add the consequences, still unknown in many aspects, that the COVID-19 pandemic has left. And the consequences of the cruel war caused by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army that is upsetting all economic forecasts, both public and private. On this May 1st, the unionists of and UGT will hug each other in the streets and squares to remember our hard, but undoubtedly useful and very rewarding, union and political militancy. This year, our conversations will also include the great advance in women's protagonism , both in terms of responsibilities in the management bodies of the unions and in the works committees, which makes us, veteran union leaders, feel a little shameful when we compare it with the scarce presence of women today. Two women at the head of unionism in Madrid: A May 1st to recover the mobilization There will also.
