The Free Workers Union - what's that?

first of all its the abbreviaton for „Freie Arbeiter*innen Union“, the free workers union. The FAU is a grassroots union in switzerland. Furthermore, it is:

A UNION: Because this form of organisation covers the political, social and to a certain degree cultural area of Life. Because the Union comes to existence directly through the workers and therefore represents their interests

FIERCE: Because the Interests of the Workers are in complete Opposite of the Capitalists. Because the great social advances have only been achieved by social struggles and mobilisations.

SELF-DETERMINED: Because Decisions should be made by the Base and because we call for self organisation of struggles

IN SOLIDARITY: Because Hierarchies are opposed to an egalitarian and self organised society.

ANTI-CAPITALIST: Since we are the ones, who produce all the goods and provide all services, they should be geared to the public good and not to the profit of the few. Therefore, we think, that syndicalism has to work on a political project of a more just, egalitarian and free society... this means working on a revolutionary project.
