Entrepreneurs and workers? Or employers and workers?

According to data from the National Institute of statistics in Spain registered 3.355.830 companies. Of all of them, only 28.122 (0.83%) have over 50 employees and, of these, only 1,797 (0.05%) have more than 500 employees. These are the details. Clear and concise: 99.95% of the Spanish companies are SMEs. Moreover, 99,17% fail even to medium-sized enterprises, small enterprises, micro-enterprises and self-employed entrepreneurs without employees.

Why, then, from the media, public administrations and political parties refers to companies and entrepreneurs, it gives the impression that only refers to that tiny percentage of large companies whose relative importance?in percentage terms, it is insignificant?

For what all those millions of small business owners they have from being represented by some employers exclusively dominated by big business leaders, to ensure only the interests of them and perpetuate in their positions for decades?

Why the vast majority of workers in this country, providing their services to small businesses (to say nothing of those who have no work), should be represented by trade unions which have only some notoriety in large enterprises and in the public service?where the empresario-trabajador relationship has nothing to do with that occurs in the companies of reduced dimension?

Small businesses, create the most jobs in this country, which almost never receive aid, which are ninguneadas by the authorities and often crushed by financial institutions, these are not. These do not appear on economic pages of newspapers. They are invisible entities led by anonymous characters whose destinies are determined by autistic Governments and representatives who do not represent them, to them or to their workers.

I have not voted to Mr Díaz Ferrán nor any other illustrious Patrick so that I represent. Like me, the vast majority of entrepreneurs who live outside employer entity and its inbred operation. And my employees did not vote to Mr Méndez or Mr Toxo. As the vast majority of workers in SMEs. Where does come from then its legitimacy? A system of indirect representation of a Trade Union, sparsely participatory nature, highly subsidized and remember most "organic democracy" of the Francoist vertical trade unionism that a genuine system of democratic representation.

It may be to start to distinguish between entrepreneurs and employers. And between workers and laborers. Because they have been representatives of the employers (which not of employers) and workers (that workers), which prisoners still of that expired dynamics of class struggle which still exists in the large companythey have been unable to agree even on the basic principles of the labour reform after months and months of negotiations. So in the end have to be politicians, the vast majority have not ever worked in the private company (or in some cases, per se, does not have worked ever) which have to deal with this reform which, in the best cases are going to be half, or will be nothing.

Let us demand responsibilities to politicians. But also to the representatives of employers and workers who have not had neither the capacity nor the desire to agree on the need to reform our system of labour relations. Because then the consequences suffer them us, employers and workers. Those who do are able to understand each other in the vast majority of companies, the vast majority of cases.
