SHA IN NEW THREAT: EVICTION NOTICE TO HOTEL BAUEN

Open Letter to the Community from the Hotel Bauen Cooperative On July 20, 2007 got an eviction within 30 days of the Cooperative BAUEN Hotel where we are intimate with the workers to abandon the property, thus our jobs. The judge in the Paula Hualde commercial court No. 9 of the Federal Capital, required to return the property to former owners, Mercotel SA who bankrupted the Hotel in December 2001 leaving us all in the street. This is a new ruling against the workers, which violates the basic rights that the Constitution applies in Argentina: able to work freely. It is not the first court order that attempts to lock the progress of our management as a cooperative. We have already passed several measures such as closing for lack of security, and others which have left gracefully. So we hope that this legal outrage against our management will be another obstacle to be overcome and we expect to do with the support of the community and social organizations have always sympathized with our experience. This has been reaffirmed at the meeting where more than 50 social organizations recuperated enterprises, cultural, human rights organizations, political parties and intellectuals. For those who do not know our history, we should tell some details relevant to the court order and our recent history. After the collapse of 2001, a group of workers were dismissed without compensation. Then, we organize and in 2003 we became the Cooperative Buenos Aires National Company Ltada-A-BAUEN We refurbish facilities and full and that the hotel was emptied and looted by the former firm which operated the place, and at least Solari SA three years as a result of our efforts and with the help of other recovered companies we put all the facilities. Today we have a fully operational. Since we became Co have done all the actions and measures at our disposal to exploit the site, continue to generate more jobs and demonstrate that the management of enterprises managed by their workers is feasible, practical and successful. The achievements are obvious, we have generated more than 150 jobs, of the 20 initial - in less than three years, and a number of jobs outsourced when considering contracts with suppliers of inputs. We need the support of the entire community to keep doing what we are doing. Work in dignity.

Brief History of the Hotel Bauen In 1978 he built the hotel, waiting for the World Cup to be held in the country. The company (BAUEN SA) and its president Marcelo Iurcovich had political contacts and trade with the military dictatorship. Through MILITARY got the loan from BANADE (National Development Bank) to finance the construction of the hotel. Needless to say that the loan "never" was paid, getting several more times to mortgage the property without receiving any prejudice on the part of the State's loan holder. Moreover Iurcovich also enables hotel and of course accumulated debts of several million in taxes not paid. Thus able to accumulate profits and continue succulent hotel management until 1997, when he made a sale of BAUEN Solari SA economic group of Chilean origin. Solari paid an initial fee of the sale as did the BANADE Iurcovich never paid the remainder of the agreement, all good guys ... Solari managed the hotel until 2001, where prior arrangement with creditors, he ends by declaring bankruptcy and the December 28, 2001, the hotel closes its doors, leaving more than 100 workers on the street without any explanation. Before had been the glory years of the hotel, the old campus of 200 workers and suddenly, the last 80 employees were final collapse of a years work space in the hotel business. Meanwhile in the country was developing the deepest crisis of our history and many workers in situations similar to those of the BAUEN hotel, began to walk the road to recovery of their companies, forming the National Movement of Recovered Companies (MNER). A group of employees in the last campus of the hotel did not exceed 20 members, made contact with the fledgling movement and began exploring the possibility of restoring the hotel. Finally, on March 21, 2003 was carried out recovery and great was the surprise it took to find the facilities in poor condition, with no running water, no gas, no ET, no blankets, crockery and furniture. But workers do not care, they had nothing to lose. Slowly and with the help of other cooperatives were put in a position to the hotel until they can reopen their doors in mid-2004, or nearly 3 years after closing. From there the story is more or less known. Begin to manage the cooperative hotel, reinvesting All profits made on repair of the building, providing rooms and community halls, the lower income sectors and creating an alternative cultural space in the heart of the city. Also won the support of all social organizations in the country and are also personalities from around the world who come to Buenos Aires to meet in person the management of workers. While Solari began to slowly disappear from history, family Iurcovich simulated a sale of the company BAUEN (original loan debtor BANADE) MERCOTELES putting the company as director of the same to Samuel Kaliman, brother of Iurcovich and claims in leading trade justice the broken record SOLARI, restitution of the property claiming to be a purchaser in good faith and ignoring any interaction with Iurcovich. Say: I sell to my brother created for this new name out of debt and so claim a building built with public funds from a loan that never paid. A true Argentine businessman! But workers continued their management demanding that the Argentine government to take action on the matter, the debt is charged with the now defunct BANADE staying at the hotel and allowing the cooperative to put it back up generating more than 100 new jobs work (20 workers cooperative campus grew to 160), is at least the same opportunity as Iurcovich, to pay the hotel at a reasonable time after such as the recovery process and collective management, they feel able to do it and want nothing to do with returning to work under pattern. Trade justice for one, do not allow the possibility of evaluating the complexity of the situation and after almost 4 years of cooperative management, just dictate the evacuation of the hotel in the hands of workers, because it believes that the brother in law Iurcovich through MERCOTELES company should be the long awaited building. For it gives the union 30 days later for the eviction, ignoring the terrible damage that can cause this failure not only to workers whose efforts have recovered the hotel, but the parties who have commitments to the cooperative and those who bet on that truth and justice are installed in the country forever. Well known, the role of 'figurehead Iurcovich "of his brother Samuel Kaliman, MERCOTELES owner and does not act in relation to the debt to the State. For now, the workers refuse to deliver the building and hope that once again, social organizations, artists who normally use cultural space of the huge building on Avenida Callao and anyone who really believes that another country is possible, to join the solidarity campaign with the cooperative to start thinking soon.
Ah !!!........ the Argentine State, mortgagee of the Iurcovich and last, the true owner of the hotel, no news ....
