K&uuml;resel sanayi sendikalarının iklim değişikliğiyle ilgili toplantısındaki katılımcılar, d&uuml;ş&uuml;k karbonlu ekonomiye ge&ccedil;işin istihdamı g&uuml;vence altına alması ve insana yakışır yeni istihdam olanakları a&ccedil;ması gerektiğini s&ouml;ylediler. 
 
14 ve 15 Ekim g&uuml;nlerinde, Uluslararası Metal İş&ccedil;ileri Federasyonu (IMF), Uluslararası Kimya Enerji Maden ve Genel İş&ccedil;i Sendikaları Federasyonu (ICEM), Avrupa Metal İş&ccedil;ileri Federasyonu (EMF), Avrupa Maden Kimya ve Enerji İş&ccedil;ileri Federasyonu (EMCEF) Almanya'nın Bad Orb kentinde &ldquo;Gaz Emisyonunu Kısmak, İstihdamı D&ouml;n&uuml;şt&uuml;rmek&rdquo; konulu bir konferans d&uuml;zenledi. 

<img alt="" src="" width="370" height="110" />
Toplantının amacı, Kopenhag'da yapılacak olan İklim Değişikliği &Uuml;zerine Birleşmiş Milletler &Ccedil;er&ccedil;eve S&ouml;zleşmesi Konferansı'nda sanayi iş&ccedil;ilerinin ortak tutumunun ne olacağı konusunu g&ouml;r&uuml;şmekti. Bilinen adıyla UNFCCC COP-15 konferansının, sera gazı emisyon hedefleriyle ilgili olarak Kyoto Anlaşması'nda &ouml;ng&ouml;r&uuml;len h&uuml;k&uuml;mleri yenileyecek ya da o h&uuml;k&uuml;mlerin yerine ge&ccedil;ecek bir dizi anlaşma ortaya koyması bekleniyor. 
 
Toplantıda konuşan IMF Genel Sekreteri Jyrki Raina ş&ouml;yle dedi: &ldquo;Bizim faaliyet g&ouml;sterdiğimiz sekt&ouml;rler genellikle mevcut &ccedil;evre krizinin yaratıcıları arasında g&ouml;r&uuml;l&uuml;yor. Bununla birlikte, sorunun &ccedil;&ouml;z&uuml;m&uuml; bu sekt&ouml;rlerde yatıyor. İstihdamı artırır ve &ccedil;evreyi korurken emisyonu da azaltmak istiyoruz.&rdquo; 

<img alt="" src="" width="325" height="183" />
Sanayi iş&ccedil;ilerinin sendikaları, ICEM'in kabul ettiği s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilirlik politikası gibi daha &ouml;nce yapılmış &ccedil;alışmaları dikkate alarak bir tartışma belgesi hazırladı. Toplantı şu beş panel tartışmasından oluşuyordu: &ccedil;evrenin korunması, s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilir gelişme, sekt&ouml;r sorunları, s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilir istihdam yaratılması ve adil ge&ccedil;iş. 
 
Canlı ge&ccedil;en tartışma geniş bir alanı kapsıyordu. &Ouml;ne &ccedil;ıkan g&ouml;r&uuml;şlerden bazıları şunlardı: 
 
- &Ccedil;evre krizi de tıpkı yaşadığımız k&uuml;resel ekonomik kriz gibi k&uuml;resel kapitalizmin bir başarısızlığıdır. 
- İnsana yakışır istihdam ve temiz &ccedil;evre el ele gider. Ya ikisini birlikte ger&ccedil;ekleştireceğiz ya da hi&ccedil;birini ger&ccedil;ekleştiremeyeceğiz. 
- Gelişmekte olan &uuml;lkelerin gelişme olanağına sahip olması gerekiyor. Ne var ki bunun gelişmiş &uuml;lkelerin ge&ccedil;miş olduğu ve &ccedil;evre krizine yol a&ccedil;mış olan zahmetli yolları izleyerek ger&ccedil;ekleşmesi gerekmiyor. Uluslararası sermaye ve finans kurumları, dirilen korumacılık ve teknoloji transferi &uuml;zerindeki kısıtlamalar, eğer &ouml;nlemeyecek olursak, yeni bir s&ouml;m&uuml;rgecilik &ccedil;ağı başlatabilir. 
- Sendikalar &ouml;zellikle s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilirliğin sosyal boyutu konusunda h&uuml;k&uuml;metleri ve işverenleri hesap vermeye zorlamalıdır. 
 
D&ouml;rt &ouml;rg&uuml;t&uuml;n temsilcileri, mevcut &ccedil;evre krizine getirilecek &ccedil;&ouml;z&uuml;m&uuml;n sosyal ve ekonomik sonu&ccedil;larını tartıştılar. Sanayi sekt&ouml;r&uuml;nde faaliyet g&ouml;steren sendikaların Kopenhag'da seslerini duyurmaları ve &ouml;zellikle s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilir gelişmenin sosyal boyutunu savunmaları gerektiği konusunda genel bir mutabakat vardı. Belli sanayi kollarında ve b&ouml;lgelerde sorunlar olduğu ve bu nedenle g&uuml;&ccedil;l&uuml; Adil Ge&ccedil;iş programlarına ihtiya&ccedil; bulunduğu kesin olmakla birlikte, s&uuml;rd&uuml;r&uuml;lebilir istihdam yaratılmasının da olanakları var. 
<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="97" /><img alt="" src="" width="146" height="46" /><img alt="" src="" width="105" height="94" />
ICEM, IMF, EMF ve EMCEF tartışma belgesini ve a&ccedil;ıklanan g&ouml;r&uuml;şleri &ouml;n&uuml;m&uuml;zdeki haftalarda g&ouml;zden ge&ccedil;irecek. Daha sonra, Kopenhag'daki COP-15 konferansına g&ouml;t&uuml;receğimiz belgelere son bi&ccedil;imini vereceğiz. 
 
Toplantıdan sonra ICEM Genel Sekreteri Manfred Warda ş&ouml;yle dedi: &ldquo;Sanayi iş&ccedil;ileri ve onların sendikaları a&ccedil;ısından d&uuml;ş&uuml;k karbonlu ekonomiye ge&ccedil;işte &ouml;nemli bir sorun, faturayı kimin &ouml;deyeceği ve ge&ccedil;işten kimin yarar sağlayacağıdır. For industrial workers and their unions an important question for changing to a low-carbon economy is who pays for it and who benefits from the transition. Tek gezegenimiz var ve hepimizin &ccedil;ıkarı geleceğimizin korunmasında.&rdquo;

This morning, 500 workers demonstrated infront of the Headquarters of Ceramics company Preiss Daimler, in the Belgian city of Saint-Ghislain. Protesters denounced the loss of 173 jobs following the announcement that the ceramics refractory had bankrupt. Workers losing their jobs were not even paid their salary for the month of September. 
 
Slogans of the angry workers, members of the ICEM affiliated FGTB, included: &lsquo;Press Daimler, Rogue Bosses!&rsquo; and &lsquo;Press Daimler, 173 workers on the tiles!&rsquo; 

<img src="" width="140" height="91" alt="" />
The ICEM supports the demands from the FGTB, that these workers deserve respect for their skills, and should be offered new prospects for work in their sector. It should not be the workers who are to pay twice for the financial crisis. 
 
The Press Daimler workers call for intervention from politicians and business leaders to save jobs through a take-over of the company.

A special feature at the IGBCE Congress in Hannover, Germany, occurred on closing day, 16 October. It was a round-table forum on Global Networks. The panel was moderated by Constantin Grund of the Freidrich Ebert Foundation, and included&nbsp;ICEM President Senzeni Zokwana. 
 
It also included Fabio Lins from ICEM Brazilian affiliate CNQ/CUT, who addressed the highly successful Latin American network of workers within the German chemical company BASF; Robert Oswald, chairman of the European Works Council of BASF; and Ralf Blauth, Human Resources director of Evonik, now a German chemicals firm that evolved from another company, RAG, that had been signatory to a Global Framework Agreement with the ICEM. 

<img alt="" src="" width="300" height="225" />
Fabio Lins, Senzeni Zokwana,&nbsp;Constantin Grund, Robert Oswald, Ralf Blauth
Zokwana spelled out the ICEM&rsquo;s philosophy behind Global Agreements, as well as the distinct features of ICEM workers&rsquo; networks within single multinational companies, specifically related to the regional and global level. 
 
&ldquo;These networks are the direct result of several years of contact between workers of the same company,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We have found that the regional networks are working the best, partly because of language and work similarities, but also because company managers have joined with these taking on a high degree of dialogue and actual negotiations.&rdquo; 
 
Lins added that the best example of this might be BASF in Latin America, which has now completed its tenth year. &ldquo;We have succeeded in convincing the BASF managers in both Europe and Latin America to play a hands-on role in this network,&rdquo; said Lins. &ldquo;That has enhanced our work, brought better safety standards to all worksites, and addressed such issues as subcontracting directly with management.&rdquo; 

<img alt="" src="" width="300" height="104" />
Oswald added that the BASF Asia-Pacific Network is moving forward, with the introduction of methods and common values brought forward from both Europe and Latin America. &ldquo;I must add that Supervisory Board members and workers&rsquo; representatives on BASF&rsquo;s European Works Council have gained valuable knowledge and benefited greatly from the experiences that have been shared in both regions,&rdquo; said Oswald. 
 
Blauth addressed the question of a merged company &ndash; RAG and Degussa forming Evonik &ndash; coming forward now to re-negotiate a Global Agreement. He said it is still too early in the process to predict an outcome. &ldquo;We are pragmatic and will place great emphasis on the practicability of reaching such an agreement. The communication process is important in and of itself, and this process inevitably leads to improved company practices. 
 
Warda concluded the session by stating both Global Framework Agreements and multinational workers&rsquo; networks are invaluable instruments to improve dialogue between labour and management, as well as setting forth best practices for trade unions in cross-border workplaces to adopt and implement so work standards can become harmonized.

IGBCE Congress Features Panel on Global Workers’ Network on Closing Day

	A two-day strike by ICEM Indonesian affiliate KSP2KI at one of the world&rsquo;s largest paper mills this week produced sizeable salary increases for over 13,000 workers. With strike support from nearly all workers at Asia Pulp and Paper&rsquo;s (APP) PT Pindo Deli&rsquo;s twin mills in Karawang, West Java, the union achieved substantially more than the minimum government-mandated increase that APP was at first willing to distribute.

	The two-year accord becomes retroactive to 1 April and grants workers, in some cases, a doubling of that provincial government minimum. KSP2KI, or &nbsp;Federasi Serikat Pekerja Pulp Dan Kertas, the Pulp and Paper Union of Indonesia, announced a three-day strike on 7 May but by yesterday, management had resumed talks and agreed to across-the-board increases.

	<img alt="" src="" style="width: 249px;height: 150px" width="390">

	Last month, managers of the 900,000-metric-tonnes-per-year paperboard, writing papers and tissue mills had unilaterally decided on the minimum increase while still in bargaining. The strike and yesterday&rsquo;s bargaining lifted the wage increase from 9.14% to 18% for most workers, with increases to 14.14% and 11.14% in other job classifications.

	That translates to an average IDR (Indonesia Rupiah) monthly increase of 139,363 (US$15.12). The minimum monthly pay at PT Pindo Deli in Karawang had been IDR 1,450,000 (US$157), so the pay grid for most workers will climb to above US$180-per-month.

	The ICEM commends the KSP2KI &ndash; a union with 7,650 members at the twin Karawang mills &ndash; for the well-organised strike action and subsequent result, and encourages all workers at Karawang, including workers of outsource companies operating inside the mills, to take up union membership.

	APP is part of Indonesian Sinar Mas Group and operates some ten paper machines and 14 paper-coating machines in the Karawang No. 1 and No. 2 mills in West Java. It also operates wholly-owned or majority-controlled pulp and paper mills &ndash; some nine in total &ndash; in other parts of Indonesia.

	On the morning of April 16, 2012 thousands of Palestinian workers demonstrated in front of the Palestinian cabinet offices to demand passage of the law of the minimum wage as well as lower prices of consumer goods and increased basic support. At the head of the demonstration was the PGFTU Secretary General, Shaher Saad, together with leaders of other PGFTU unions including Mohammed Abu Adwan, Secretary General of the ICEM affiliated Petrochemical Workers Union. The demonstration followed a union-researched comprehensive and in-depth study on the situation of workers and the scale of the suffering which they suffer in the light of the rapidly deteriorating economic and social conditions compounded by prohibitively high prices throughout Palestine.

	The third phase of the Royal Commission of Inquiry&rsquo;s investigation of the Pike River mine explosions of November 2010 that killed 29 concluded in mid-February in Greymouth, New Zealand, and several experts testified to the inherent weak safety mechanisms in place by Pike River Coal Ltd.

	The latest set of hearings also reveal a company that was 18 months behind on orders to deliver &nbsp;premium metallurgical coal, and in the words of a technical services manager who resigned just days before the first explosion, &ldquo;There was no way the company would delay coal production&rdquo; because of safety concerns.

	The manager, Pieter Van Rooyen, testified that workers had given him notice of inadequate methane drainage pipes, requesting that drilling cease until rectified. Despite passing that on in writing to senior operational managers, nothing was done. Van Rooyen said the decision to begin hydro-mining deep within the shaft without constructing a second exit &ndash; and in areas of high methane gas build-up &ndash; was strictly for &ldquo;cash-flow purposes.&rdquo;

	&nbsp;<img alt="" height="159" src="" width="183" />&nbsp;

	An electrical engineer who investigated New Zealand&rsquo;s worst mining accident in 100 years said the faulty Pike River electrical systems multiplied chances for disaster since stray currents in many mechanical instruments produced sparks. Pike River&rsquo;s main exhaust fan was located underground, an anomaly to modern mining.

	In late October 2010, the company was warned by a regulatory agency that the stability of an expanded roof in an underground area was worrisome, and again nothing was done. A mine safety expert from Australia testified that the blast was caused by a roof collapse deep inside the mine, causing a massive release of gas. When the underground fan failed, the gas could have ignited from a small spark.

	For 16 months now, the bodies of the 29 have remained entombed inside the South Island mine, despite efforts by families to recover their loved ones. In this inquiry round, photos of two miners who were sighted dead near self-rescue units were shown. The photos indicate that the miners might have survived the initial blast on 19 November 2010. In the following days, five more major explosions occurred.

	Pike River Coal Ltd. killed 29 miners, including 26 New Zealanders, a miner from South Africa, one from the UK, and another miner who was an Australian national. The mother of this Australian miner named Josh Ufer is currently speaking out in Australia on the necessity to maintain full trade union involvement in all mine safety matters.

	As the Single Bargaining Unit led by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) wages a battle against BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi to retain union-mandated safety deputies and open cut examiners inside Queensland collieries, Joanne Ufer is versing the dangers inherent in unilateral management control of safety matters in union advertisements.

	The final phase of the Pike River Royal Commission of Inquiry will convene next month, with the commission&rsquo;s report and findings to be issued in September.&nbsp; See <a href="/en/78-ICEM-InBrief/4681-Pike-River-s-Royal-Inquiry-Sees-Troubling-Safety-Issues-Inside-NZ-Mine-Disaster">ICEM report</a> following the commission&rsquo;s second phase hearings.

‘Disaster Waiting to Happen,’ Pike River 3rd Inquiry Told

<img alt="" src="" style="width: 100px;height: 39px" width="390" />

	Union members, affiliated to Unite the Union in the UK, rejected 5 March a redundancy proposal from Austrian packaging company Mayr-Melnhof that would have ended a 19-day lockout at a plant in Merseyside, near Liverpool. Workers rejected it 138-1 largely because management still insists on its own discretionary powers in disbursing redundancy packages to 49 workers.

	Unite has escalated a campaign against the Vienna-based paper carton and packaging company primarily because Mayr-Melnhof has retracted and reduced buy-out terms in this set of talks, and has substantially broken from redundancy pay-outs and terms commonly established in past consultations.

	In talks on 29 February and again on 3 March, the company proposed a social fund to bridge the difference paid in its 2008 and 2010 layoffs, with lesser packages offered now. But the social fund would be discretionary, based on subjective criteria unilaterally set by the company, which underscores Mayr-Melnhof&rsquo;s bargaining posture throughout this set of 2012 talks.

	&nbsp;<img alt="" src="" style="width: 203px;height: 160px" width="390" />&nbsp;

	Len McClusky (right) Speaks to Unite Strikers at Mayr-Melnhof

	Workers at the Bootle, Merseyside, plant began lawful industrial actions on 10 February over Mayr-Melnhof&rsquo;s intransigence with six-hour &ldquo;switch strikes.&rdquo; &nbsp;Walkouts rotated from 06h to noon, and from noon to 18h. On 18 February, managers locked workers out and began manoeuvring to move equipment and product out of the factory.

	Workers then entered the factory and staged a shop-floor sit-in to prevent removal. Despite several sets of talks since, Mayr-Melnhof has steadfastly resisted any workable compromise proposed by Unite, and the lockout has continued.

	The union has brought the dispute to Mayr-Melnhof&rsquo;s Packaging Division workers in Germany, and the ICEM has issued a call for <a href="/en/19-Pulp-Paper/4918-Packaging-Workers-Need-Support-">Solidarity Action</a>, which can be viewed and acted upon here. Trade unionists inside the company&rsquo;s Karton Division, led by Austrian affiliate Pro-Ge, have brought attention to the company&rsquo;s hostile UK labour relations inside Mayr-Melnhof&rsquo;s eight European paper mills, and Pro-Ge has also protested loudly to CEO Wilhelm Hoermansedar.

	Unite, meanwhile, is preparing an industrial ballot at Mayr-Melnhof&rsquo;s other UK packaging plant, in Deeside, North Wales, on grounds that the company is worsening redundancy terms and conditions from previously agreed. The Bootle plant produces food packaging from tea bags to breakfast cereal to pet food packaging, with Kellogg&rsquo;s the plant&rsquo;s biggest customer.
