ArcelorMittal? Company antisocial!
Section Liège steelworkers of the Labour Party of Belgium in October 2010
Recently, a scoop of PTB denounced the fact that a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal in Belgium did not pay that 496 € tax profit of 1.3 billion euros 2009!
What is very interesting to know also is that this subsidiary is one that pays the most taxes ....
Indeed, other subsidiaries in this country, paying tax ... 0 €!!
So when the group made dramatic gestures and also boasts of being a social enterprise, should we laugh or cry? Its sole purpose is to the maximum benefit and all the rest is blah blah hypocritical for politicians who have given this kind of gift indecent ... The crisis is not for everyone.
What does not tell the political parties that voted these laws pro employer (notional interest) is that the money it takes to "turn" the country, the region. The money is missing from public coffers, it is in our pocket that the state will take it. We "bowl" with all the billions enough to find quickly to ensure health care, pensions, etc ....
Money, there, and a lot. But the political world does not get him where he is ... Who is there still, that world politics?
One would think that Mittal and his henchmen would have been happy about that ...
But no!
We who live in the company know that the lemon has been squeezed, the peels too, and now are the seeds that the boss wants to crush.
is why the PTB supports the workers and their unions in negotiations and struggles today.
Enough! Enough with the downsizing, job losses, outsourcing, cuts wages of any kind, signed but not respected, etc ....
ArcelorMittal faceted social enterprise? The finding is quickly ... NO!
must put pressure on politicians to act in our interest, finally, in the interests of workers. They must leave the woods and they stir Mittal to remind that if we are in a capitalist society (yes ...), we are not a banana republic!

Marco Van Hees has struck again. Right in the mile.
letter Liradelfo Marco Arcelormittal early retiree Former delegate FGTB mill
Marco Van Hees has struck again. Right in the mile. Bravo for this article has generated quite a reaction. I would add that Mittal does not stop at the notional interest to increase its profits. He practices the adage "small profits make great profits" with great talent. As highlighted Marco Van Hees, the Marshall Plan it provides some tax benefits such as the abolition of the tax on motive force for new investment. This exemption extends even to replace electric motors burned, can not be regarded as a new investment. Despite all these advantages, our policies (PS head) are sparing no efforts to settle the ogre what Mittal. Thus, the common Oupeye, deleted the industrial tax surcharge (ICT) that Chertal (division including steel and rolling mill) had to pay to the municipality. However, following a long legal process, the court found in favor of the town and Mittal was s'aquitter of an annual sum of 1,250 million euros. Finally, while being deprived of these revenues, the municipality of Oupeye will have to make budget cuts (Job cuts), while Mittal it will fill their pockets. But if the list of gifts is long it is not exhaustive. It may also be made for aid workers sent for training. Thanks to Minister Tarabella (PS), they will be paid by the National Employment Office and not by the company to be formed. Nor should we forget the aid for CO2 allowances which Mittal has benefited to revive the HF6. He also sold quotas on the market for 100 million euros. Of course all in the name of employment has been declining. Workers whose working conditions have greatly deteriorated appreciate!
