". This resolution takes it for granted not only that industrial restructuring is necessary but that such restructuring necessarily entails layoffs, and that we must mitigate the effects of these. Since we are not in favour of the market economy, competition and competitiveness, we shall not enter into a discussion of whether competitiveness does or does not necessitate restructuring. The question we ask is why should it be the workers that have to pay the price of competitiveness? Instead of cutting costs by reducing the wage bill, why not deduct a similar amount from the revenue due to company owners and shareholders? The resolution takes it for granted that shareholder revenue should be protected rather than safeguarding workers’ wages. Therefore, despite a few token expressions intended to convince us of the author’s good intentions on social matters, we voted against the resolution."@en1
