Ni La Crisis - Ni El Paro - Ni La Hipoteca - Ni La Jubilación - Ni La Reforma Laboral... Nuestro Problema Es La Obediencia -- CNT AIT
Translation: 
Not Work - Nor Unemployment - Nor Mortgage - Nor Retirement - Nor Labor Reform... Our Problem Is Obedience -- CNT (National Confederation of Labor) AIT (International Association Of Workers)
Description: 

This sticker comes from a campaign from the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) based on their idea that power would not exist if no one obeyed. People go to work monday through friday and repeat the next week. We accept capitalism and low wage labor jobs without question. The problem here is obedience, and CNT is using this message to try to get people to speak out and fight for their rights.
