GENERAL INTRODUCTION:

Christian Workers Movement India started in 1966 at Chennai for the overall development of the workers in India. The mission of the CWM is to struggle for the respect and recognition of human dignity and for the establishment of justice on this earth, that the laws of the economy and the god of money do not triumph over women and men who are meant to be the beneficiaries of the goods of this earth.

CWM members are conscious of being evangelizers by working to emancipate men and women, by siding with the excluded of our societies, and by throwing themselves heart and soul into the effort of building a world fit for all to live in. This preferential option gives priority to Un-organized, women, migrant workers and the excluded of our society, especially, the unemployed, working children, workers in insecure jobs. In order to establish this mission in this world Cardinal Joseph Cardijn the founder of our movement has presented a methodology called “Review of Life: See – Judge – Act”. We have committed leaders those who are voluntarily came forward to fulfill this mission in the world. They scarifies their time, money, health for the development our movement.

We have 35Affiliated and 9 Contact Movement in different Dioceses.

EVALUATION

STRENGTH:

We could form a good National Team to take immediate decisions and carry out the activities more efficiency.

Enrolling more members at the grass roots level from the downtrodden workers. Given the training and other benefits to the poor / interested other religious workers also.

The CWM units and members have definitely increased their participation and involvement in the worker’s problem and working class struggles.

International movements like WMCW and WSM are very much concerned with our activities and frequently they are sending their delegates to observe and review our activities.

This involvement creates greater sense of mutual solidarity and unity.

The participation of women has increased and the membership is also increased considerably compared to previous years.

The consequences of the involvement of marginalized categories of workers are many at grass roots level. The most important consequences are that the workers are becoming more aware of the present situation of exploitation and unjust structures.

CBCI Labour Commission too supports our Movement in all possible ways.

This type of growth in unity and issue based struggles leads the informal sector workers to be aware of their independency.

The recognition and supporting of the Movement by the Diocese and local church is increasing compared to the last years.

We could form several SHG (Self Help Group) in different dioceses on grass root level.

The National Movement is also overcoming the language barriers.

Workers are trained to understand their responsibilities and duties at grass roots level to an extent, in some of the areas.

Informal Sector workers are taught how to achieve their integral growth. Improvements are seen in various places.

Easy communication to the leaders can give immediate actions.

There is an increased rate of recognition about Human Rights among CWM members, local public, the parents of child workers and migrants, aspirants and dependents.

Members are becoming agents of transformation in their respective areas; day-by-day enthusiasm is developed.

Women solidarity, small-scale industries, introducing micro credit system is developed in certain dioceses.

Cultivating deep sensitivity to the sufferings of workers, especially the marginalized.

Co-ordination with NGOs, Young Christian Workers, Young Christian Student, All India Catholic University Federation, National Domestic Workers’ Movement, Indian Council for Labour, Workers India Federation, Catholic Council of India CFTU, AREDS and other Indian Social Movements etc.

Solidarity with Inter-diocesan leaders and members has been developed.

WEAKNESS:

One of the key difficulties faced is lack of support, cooperation and motivation from some religious and priests.

There are various possible reasons for the lack of interests to support CWM; one of the possible reasons is their unwillingness to change the situation and accept the initiatives of Laity.

A second possible reason is that there is no diocesan policy, which makes working class Movements as pivotal centre even though most of the populations of the Dioceses are working classes from different walks of life.

Another problem is the nature of work of the majority of people. This problem is encountered mostly in the villages since they are daily labourers belongs to the informal sector and they don’t find time to attend the meetings and many of them are illiterate. In the cities industries are retrenching their workers and displacement takes place everywhere.

Inadequately trained and committed leaders and lack of concern on working class issues.

Overcoming social barriers like caste, economic disparities and illiteracy is a big challenge, the challenge of illicit arrack (liquor) at grass root level is a great menace.

Globalization downsized all kinds of privileges enjoyed by the working class, spiraling cost of living, unemployment and underemployment disparity in payment of wages, discrimination in various levels.

Lack of dedicated leaders is a main barrier to the expansion of our movement throughout India.

Trade unions became weak and they lost the bargaining power.

Local industries are closed due to the faulty labour policies of the Governments. Many workers lost their jobs. This has increased workers on the informal sector (unorganized workers)

Large country, Multilanguage speaking and different cultures.

Huge time consumed to travel from one place to another.

Lack of sufficient funds to travel to visit the new areas and meet workers frequently.

The support and solidarity is only from WSM and church.

CONCLUSION:

To be a CWM member is a privilege. We believe that it is a call of God to work for the downtrodden and the marginalized in society. Yes, it is a “vocation”. Our destination is far away from the present realities. If we have a strong will and courage we can do a lot of activities to the working class especially those who are outcast from society. We can dream of a better world with justice, love and fraternity among workers. It is our duty to fulfill this mission in our society. I hope that we have succeeded to a very good extent to realize this world. Still, we have to go a long way to achieve our goal. It we have a strong will and spirituality with us, one day we can realize this dream. Let the almighty Lord, help us abundantly.

MEMBERSHIP ENROLLMENT:STRATEGIES AND METHOD OF FORMATION AND ELIGIBILITY FOR AFFLIATION

Presentation and Adoption of the following strategies and method of formation during the 30th General Body Meeting of CWM India held on 22nd-24th July 2011.

STRATEGIES AND METHOD OF FORMATION

To discover our mission and vocation according to the Plan of God.

To start with the realities of working class.

To analyze together the various forces that exploit, oppress, victimize and marginalize large sections of working population.

To find out the structural causes of manipulations and exploitations.

To examine if we too are the part of it, knowingly or unknowingly contributing to this kind of disorder.

To make a deep reflection of the situation in the light of the world of God and the teaching of the church to get proper inspiration for our self transformation and for a meaningful decision.

To take a stand for the cause of the oppressed.

To plan concrete actions in order to build a new society, where there is justice, love and fraternity.

After sufficient formations, the grass roots/ Parish level units will be formed and Parish units together form the Diocesan Movements. Diocesan Movements can seek affiliation with the National Movement.

CWM aims are Training, Formation and Action through See – Judge – Act method.

The CWM action is always the result of an enquiry on life situations based on See – Judge – Act method by the members themselves and therefore is the result of their own personal discovery and conviction.

CWM aims to bring about structural changes in Society so that every worker can live and work with self- respect be fitting with his human dignity and divine destiny. The CWM however takes up self – help and cooperative services for workers with their full involvement and participation.

CWM insists that the leaders take every effort to bring Christ into their lives as well as into the lives of their Co-workers.

The church must accept that personal services and relief work will always have their important place, the more relevant and meaningful efforts today will concentrate on change of atmosphere, transformation of structures, creation of new relationships and fresh value systems and Provisions of ample freedom and wider opportunities for all men.

-CBCI Statement May 8 – 1971.

Facilitate, communicate and educate the workers and leaders on labour rights, duties and responsibilities as per the teachings of the Church.

- WIF (CBCI) Statement 2007.

The role of the CWM is to animate and direct the action of the masses along the line of its full development and emancipation……. In order that this total emancipation of the masses may be achieved, and in order that the masses themselves may take part in the work itself, the programme of the services and the activities of CWM must be worked out for the masses of workers and not merely for its own members.

ENQUIRY:

The enquiry is based on a text of the Bible or on a Social problem. When it is based on a text of the Bible, enquiry and when it is based on a Social Problem it is called Social enquiry. In our movement both kind of enquiry are given equal importance as both are meant to Christianize our lives and our environment. The enquiry is led by one of the Leaders who prepare it before hand with the Chaplain.

FORMATION OF BASIC UNITS:

Parish level CWM Units are basic units. The members are enrolled in the Parish Units, after sufficient formation. After the formation of three parish Units the Diocesan Movement would be formed and the respective Diocesan / Archdiocesan Bishop appoint a Diocesan Chaplain.

ELEGIBILITY FOR AFFILIATION:

The Diocesan / Arch diocesan CWM should have formed at least three normal Parish Units, one women unit and one marginalized workers unit (Unemployed, Underemployed or Unorganized workers). The CWM members must contact the marginalized and excluded groups for effective Review of Life. Therefore, through continued and constant contact at least one marginalized unit would be formed. Since we should respect and give equal participation to women to avoid gender discrimination, we should form at least one women unit in every Diocese.

Minimum strength of the unit should be at least seven.

It was resolved, that the existing affiliated Diocesan CWMs also should adopt the above strategies.

The Parish Units should be capable to conduct enquiry on Social problems and based on the text of the Bible.

Each and every member should be trained to

Seeing:	senses to observe facts and conditions.
Judging	Intellect to make correct judgments.
Acting	will to act reasonably and effectively.

We should remember as follows:

The National Executive Committee would organize proper formations to form the CWM members and leaders.

The National Executive Committee would constitute a small team to evaluate and report to the National Exco. If the National Exco is satisfied with the activities, it will recommend for affiliation in the General Assembly.

The maximum period of formation is two years after the formation of the Diocesan Movement in a democratic way.

Adhoc Committees are valid for six months only. Within six months after formation the Diocesan Committee, it should organize proper election of the Diocesan team. The Diocesan Bishops are responsible for the formation of adhoc Committees.
