"This is for Mercadona" they told J.C. member of CNT and of the strike comitee of Mercadona when five individuals came up to him in the street at night, while they beated and kicked him lying in a puddle of blood until he lost conscience. He was carried by an ambulance to the Red Cross where he recieved treatment of craneal traumatism and contusions and must be sutured in different parts of his body.
At midnight at thursday 28th of september, J.C. left the pub "Latino Emoción" en the street Severo Ochoa in Hospitalet de LLobregat near his flat when five individuals came up to him asking "Your are the striker from Mercadona?". He tried to escape running, but the attackers reached him who beatened him up until he lost conscience lying in the street, from where he was picked up by an ambulance called presumably by the neighbours and was transfered to an hospital of the Red Cross. There he was atended for caneal traumatism, contusions in the shoulders and in the face therefore he needed some sutures. In spite of the heavy loss of blood, the worker is out of risk at home and he denounced the attack.
J.C. is affiliated to the CNT, works in the logistic centre of Mercadona in Saint Sadurní D'Anoia and he followed the undefined strike since 23th of March 2006 as member of the strike comittee. J.C. didn't know the attackers nor he can't give a complete description of them, but he affirms they waited for him, acted organised, they told him "This is for Mercadona" while they beatened him and appearently two were spanish and the other three were from the Dominican Republic.
Since the 18th of Septembre CNT changed the strategy and converted the temporally indefined strike in a defined one from 10pm on every thursday to 10pm on every friday, and apart of this direct agression two members of the strike comittee where fired for disciplinary reasons which shows clearly the repression against the labour union. Every week new workers are joining the strike in spite of company's politics of "touching" the strikers and other sympathyzing workers offering them high amounts of money for dismissals or they sustitute them with workers from other logistic centres which they pay him high wages.
The saturday afterwards on the 30th of september there was a demonstration in Barcelona leaving at 6pm from Plaza de Universidad with high participation denouncing publicly the repression sufferd by the strikers.
CNT-AIT is going to intensify their actions against Mercadona in all of the spanish state, there will be a new international solidarity calling and announces that the strike will not end until the workers will achieve their aims: readmission of the fired workers, stop of the labor harassments, respect of the security and sanitary norms, recognition of the union section of CNT and some minor improvementes such as paid lunch breaks.

Membro de Strik-Komitato en la entrepreno Mercadona brutale tradrashita
25.10.2006 12:15
CHiurkau moktomezo, jaudon la 28an de septebro, JC eliris la trinkejon Latino Emocion che la strato Severo Ochoa en la urbo Hospitalet de Llobregat apud sia hejmo. CHi tiam kvin homoj sturmis lin dirante: CHu vi estas strikanto kontrau Mercadona?. Li klopodis fughi kure, sed li estis kuratingita de la agresintoj, kiuj tradrashis lin ghis kiam li ne falis vundita kaj senkonscia sur la trotuaron, el kie li estis prenita per ambulanco vershajne vokata de la najbaroj, kiu translokis lin en la hospitalon de la Rugha Kruco, kie li estis kuracita pro krania traumo, kontuzoj en la maldekstra skapolo kaj vizagha kontuzo, pro kio vundoj devis esti suturitaj. Malgrau rimarkinda perdo de sango, la laboristo loghas hejme en ne grava stato kaj jam prezentis plendon pri la okazintajhoj en polica komisarejo.
JC membras en CNT, laboras en la loghistika centro de la entrepreno Mercadona en la vilagho Sant Sadurni d'Anoia kaj partoprenas la nedifinitan strikon, kiu komencighis la 23n de marto 2006, kiel membro de la strika komitato. JC nek konis la agresintojn nek povas komplete priskribi ilin, sed tamen li asertas, ke ili atendis lin, ke ili agis organizite, ke dum la batado ili diris "Tion vi ricevas pro la striko en Mercadona", kaj ke laushajne du el ili estas hispanoj kaj la ceteraj el la Dominika Respubliko.
Post la 28a de septembro, kiam CNT sanghis la strategion kaj trasnformis la nedifinitan strikon en parttempan, kiu efektivighas de la 22a horo chiu-jhaude ghis la 22a horo vendrede, krom tiu chi rekta agreso, ankau du pliaj membroj de la strik-komitato estis maldungitaj kun la preteksto de maldiciplino, ago kiu konsistigas klaran ekzemplon de kontrau-sindikata subpremo. Spite chion, chiusemajne alighas novaj laboristoj al la striko, kvankam la entrepreno daurigas alvoki la strikantojn kaj aliajn kun ili simpatiantajn laboristojn por oferi konsentitajn maldungojn kontrau grandaj sumoj de mono, tiel ankau por anstatauigi ilin per aliaj laboristoj venintaj el aliaj lokoj, kiuj estas pagataj bonege.
La sinsekvan sabaton, la 30an de septembo, okazis manifestacio en la stratoj de Barcelono, komencighinta je la 18a horo en la placo Universitat, kun pli multnombra partopreno, kaj dum kiu oni publike diskonigis kio okazis al la strikantoj.
Aldone al tio, CNT intensigios la ptrotestojn kontrau Mercadona en la tuta hispana shtato, lanchos internacian solidarecan alvokon, kaj anoncis, ke la striko dauros ghis kiam la laboristoj ne atingos siajn celojn: redungo de la maldungitoj, cheso de la labora persekuto, utiligo de la normoj pri laboraj higieno kaj sekureco, agnosko de la sindikata sekcio de CNT en Mercadona, respekto de la sindikata libereco kaj aliaj malgrandaj plibonigoj, ekzemple, ke oni pagu pro la tempo dum kiu ili manghas sandvichon meze de la labortago.
