Direct action ( Slovak: Priama akcia, PA) is a Slovak trade union, which focuses on solving problems in the workplace and at home and on organizing solidarity actions for the rights and needs of workers. The union was established in 2000 and became a section of the International Workers' Association (IWA). [1] [2]
The organization adheres to anarcho-syndicalist principles, [3] and in its activities is primarily focused on organizing dissatisfied workers, in order to enforce their requirements. It criticizes classical unions for their excessive bureaucracy, inefficiency, efforts for class collaboration between capital and the working class, and a tendency to avoid open conflict. [4] As an alternative to traditional unions, it offers radical unions without hierarchical structures and without paid officials, which are governed by a membership base and promote their interests through direct action. [4]
Direct action emphasizes the following objectives:
The organization criticizes the efforts of state authorities to label any critic of the social order as an extremist [7] and has in the past commented on efforts to limit the right of assembly. [8] The union has repeatedly supported teachers' struggle for higher wages. [9] [10]
