What Instrument For Hardstyle

WITHOUT CRUCIBLE IS LESS THE FAIR

Book Fair opens this Friday. Today started the assembly, but this year the event will miss a very special library. Yesterday we witnessed the delivery of Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2009 at the headquarters of Grupo Santillana. The appointment could not be more joyous, occasion to reunite friends, enjoy the speech of the winner have a chance to play famous (high percentage of people from the film, perhaps because you were the Minister González-Sinde) and a cocktail of level ( although beer was no Mahou Cinco Estrellas, and that supporting the English cinema).

ham and beer in the sun are due to annoy someone who another, in strict silence, a peaceful rally, more than fifty workers demonstrated Crucible on the doorstep of soiree, so that, by its silence, make the colors to the lords of PRISA. In solidarity with them, we reproduce here the statement that drew workers Crucible for the Media:

"A little over three weeks was reported in various media by the ERE which takes closing out the libraries Crucible. The story, apart from the different approaches that each medium was applied, was mainly fed by the flow of information from the company ie, a unidirectional flow. We consider in this connection that the information becomes skewed and we miss the point of view of workers. Redress the information gap is the main objective of this paper.

"First we would like to highlight one aspect that seems important. From years ago are adopting a series of decisions by the heads of company leaders have weakened the quality of the libraries offer and have reduced their ability to compete with other establishments in the same sector. Given these misguided actions, proposals were raised by workers aimed at optimizing the performance of libraries. Some proposals disregarded repeatedly. Instead, these policies have been misguided actions heightened considerably in recent months, so that it can be said that the company has been left to die, literally, to bookstores crucible gradually.

"do not know if the negligence or lack of interest have led to managers when adopting the above policy failures (although in the light of recent events would have been a question whether intentionally misguided decisions) right is that over time and despite the efforts of the employees of Crucible, the company has been increasingly dying to leave what had become be a reference for libraries in Madrid's literary landscape. And the latter is attested by the large number of samples of indignation on one side and supported by none other than the regulars of the establishments have given us through various means.

"Clearly, the company ignored all this. At this point, it should be clear that we do not intend here to criticize your decision to close: a company is free to close when he pleases, despite the obvious damage this may have on workers and the subsequent disagreement of the same. However, we would like to refine some things. Some of the arguments made by the company to justify closures are restricted to issues related to improving economic performance, falling consumption in the sector ... ultimately matters that refer to a certain economic infeasibility. But remember that just Santillana increased revenues in 2008.


"There is much to talk about it, but as just one example, this excerpt from the story that appeared on the website of the chain be dated 05.01.2009 referring to the profits of the group PRISA the past year speaks for itself: "the proceeds from the sale of books and training have increased by 10.7% to reach 153.69 million euros, compared to 138.81 million for the same period of 2008. " "Economic infeasibility? No.


"infeasibility advert are aimed in another direction, but rather are enrolled in redirecting the company to print their business. And this is legitimate. It seems wrong that a company wanted extended to other fields than those who had previously broken up. From what we complain of is that, since the economic element is the main drag in this particular case, take to the streets in economic conditions that lead people derisory almost his entire working life in this company.

"The Crucible workers, with their good work and professionalism are those that have ultimately succeeded Crisol name has been entrenched in the picture library of prestige and charisma of life in Madrid, where the personal and customer intimacy is the hallmark. this statement is not intended as an empty compliment to our work, but rather a simple sample of our daily work has provided a renowned and quality to these libraries and, therefore, we want to We recognize this work and that, given the impending dismissal, we are treated fairly. Just that, nothing more.

"Finally, just say that we put at the disposal of media if you want to contact us for additional or clarifying information, ideas and opinions reflected in this statement. Sincerely, workers Crucible. trabajadoreslibreriascrisol@yahoo.es.

So far the statement of the employees of Crucible.

Some have said loudly that the closure of the libraries Crisol has nothing to do with the economic crisis and the bursting editorial bubble, but rather with the financial problems of Grupo PRISA. Maybe they are right. What is certain is that when the library finally closed the building Aguilar, Juan Bravo, the Salamanca district lost one of its cultural referents symbolic. What will open later in the hall? A clothing store brand?

When closed, if not replaced in time by another, a library never recovered. Your customers will not be shared without other bookstores in the area. Do not lose as a library like that. The reading community that loyalty booksellers Crisol, err as in limbo in search of "his bookseller friend, circling aimlessly between pants and shirts.
