IBM tiene una política cada vez más agresiva para maximizar los beneficios, para ello utiliza cualquier medio a su alcance, bordeando si no vulnerando, la legalidad, recortando los derechos económicos de los trabajadores. 

Los últimos ejemplos los tenemos desde la eliminación de la cafetería de Barcelona a la supresión del ADSL, el esperpéntico aumento del precio de la cafetería en Madrid, el cierre de la sucursal y despido de la delegada sindical de Donostia, etc.... 

La empresa sabe que estos actos son denunciados tanto por los trabajadores como en especial por sus representantes sindicales y por tanto que estos son un fuerte obstáculo para imponer unilateralmente su voluntad.   

En lugar de optar por el diálogo, la respuesta de una IBM cada vez más decimonónica es la agresión directa a los representantes sindicales, p.ej. en Francia pretenden abrir expediente sancionador al delegado José Sainz y en Italia la suspensión de empleo y sueldo a Davide Barillari también representante sindical por su acción en Facebook. 

Os adjuntamos los correos donde se cuentan los hechos y las acciones (el enlace en donde os podéis solidarizar con estos compañeros - en francés -, os ha de enviar un mensaje de confirmación a vuestro correo electrónico).

Hi all IWIS members, 
I've just signed the online petition for solidarity to Jose Sainz. I hope that all the french unions will be united to defend Jose... and also our unions, in our countries around the world. 
Remember the IWIS motto: an injury to one is an injury to all !!! 
  
I'm also having big problems: I received some days ago a disciplinary action (3 days without work and pay) cause I've organized an online petition in Facebook against IBM's managers privileges. They went all to a 4days full-payd holiday in a beauty farm, with their wife/children...during the IBM US jobcuts. 262 italian IBM employees signed the petition in Facebook...and now I received the "revenge" for my unionist activity using new web 2.0 tools for our protests. 
I'm discussing with a lawyer.... but it's very clear, expecially for me and Jose.... the young and more active unionists are very dangerous for the IBM management. We are simply doing our role, defending workers...but IBM wants to stop us. 
  
We see that IBM is facing the financial crisys reducing "costs and rights" for all IBM employees, and to full enable this strategy IBM needs to weak the IBM unionists in every country. 
So more problems to IBM Unions are expected...and we should be prepared to respond in a common way and voice. 
  
Let's express our solidarity to Jose Sainz !!!! Please Anna, keep IWIS informed...and pls send me leaflefts in english, so I can traduce in italian and publish them in our union websites.

To all IWIS members: IBM Management is trying to fire our unionist JOSE SAINZ
 
Let us sign the on-line petition for the defence of our companion José Sainz secretary of IBM CGT La Gaude which risks to be dismissed 
to have defended a discriminated and harassed employee inside IBM. 
 
http://www.mesopinions.com/detail-petition.php?ID_PETITION=edd82a9d6f692a83ba25b74436d43c90 
 
No penalty against a unionist who was only doing his job by defending employees. 
 
On May 22nd of this year José Sainz issues an appeal, to his union at the national level inside IBM as well as the others unions into the company,   
to defend a Sales representative IBM discriminated and harassed by his management. Today this employee is on illness, at home. 
 
This action is done by sending numbers of e-mails to the higher management level to require the immediate stopping of the harassment victim 
towards this employee. 
 
For unique answer the IBM France management asks the local la Gaude management to rage and to summon José Sainz to an interview with the aim 
of a penalty being able to go until the firing of the unionist. 
 
Today to defend the employees is considered as an offence!   
The management must know that at the CGT our convictions do not change according to the threats and penalties.  José Sainz, as all his companions, 
gave for mission to defend the interest of the employees and they will continue. 
 
The preliminary interview with penalty which can go until dismissal, will take place on Thursday, June 11th at 11:00 am at IBM La Gaude.  
All other unionists will join José Sainz to support him during his interview. 
 
Thanks to all for the unconditional defence of the labor-union liberties.
