Panergatiki dedicates this issue to the Panhellenic Meeting of PAME on April 4 with the certainty that the great battles lie ahead.

The Nationwide Meeting of PAME was a living image of the real Greece of labor and of the working class. More than 720 trade unions and 2,000 trade unionists were present, workers from dozens of sectors, old and new militants, people who do not compromise with the logic that “nothing changes.” Present were those who fight every day for Collective Agreements, wage increases, the reduction of working time, health and safety measures, stable work with rights, the protection of working-class families from high prices, foreclosures, tax robbery, and the commercialization of every social need.

The conclusion is clear, the working class is not condemned to simply watch developments. It can come to the forefront. It can organize. It can clash. It can impose its just demands, by reorganizing its movement in an anti-capitalist, anti-monopoly direction.

The Nationwide Meeting is a step forward in organization. The unions must become stronger. New forces must enter the struggle. The slogan must reach everywhere: No sacrifice for their profits and wars.
