RESOLUTION-CALL TO STRUGGLE
Colleagues, workers,
The industrialist Manesis, once again showed the face of all capitalists. He proceeded to 16 more dismissals, while we were demonstrating in front of the Ministry, after 32 days of strike. They are ruthless, but they are also terrified.
They think they can scare us, that they can bend us.
Gentlemen industrialists, we are not like your people! For the steelworker there is no turning back! 36 days of strike have been a great school! They have been a university, you never went to!
Industrialist Manesis. The general assembly of the steelworkers answers you back!
Hear this carefully! We are all laid off! We will return back to work all together!
You will not make us slaves! You come and work through fire and iron fir 500€!
Colleagues, workers, employees,
In HELLINIKI HALIVOURGIA(GREEK STEEL) the industrialists alongside with their black government test the strength of the whole working class.
If we break, they will leave nothing standing! If they break their faces here, nothing will be the same again!
The strength you give us, we will not betray! We did not go to such a struggle just to spend our time! To back down, when we face difficulties and threats. We defend our lives and the bread of our children!
We will return only if we win! That is why we want you on our side, closer to the struggle.
In every factory they are preparing to do the same, in many they have already started: job rotation, 2 days work, 3 days work, and wage cuts over 30%, dismissals, unpaid for months.
The industrialists escalate their attack. Workers will do the same! We are stronger! And we have just started!
The General Assembly of the strikers steelworkers calls to a meeting on Monday 5th of December all the trade unions of the area, factory committees, workers’ committees, local peoples’ committees, unions. Every honest trade unionist, who fights back.
This is a call to struggle, no man to miss!
To organize our answer. To call and organize, with all our strength:
-
24hour strike all over the area of Thriassioi
-
Great demonstration outside the gates of the HALLIVOURGIA
To cry out loud: take your hands from our rights, won through blood.
We shall not become slaves of the industrialists!
Colleagues workers
Do not listen to the lies of the industrialists and their people, its not them who will have to work for starvation-wages, its not them who will be unemployed! They get good money for their dirty work!
Do not fear them; they are powerless when workers decide to fight!
Victory of the steelworkers, victory of all workers!
The General Assembly of the HELLINIKI HALLIVOURGIA workers
