PAME expresses its solidarity with the strike at the Mazur company in Frankfurt, Germany, of truck drivers from different countries, who are fighting for the payment of their wages!

The truck drivers of the Polish transport company Mazur (Lukmaz, Agmaz and Imperia), working as supposedly self-employed, have not received a salary for weeks, although they were promised a daily wage of 80 euros.

In the face of this situation, since 20 March the drivers have parked their vehicles at the Gräfenhausen truck stop, some 30 kilometres outside the city of Frankfurt, some with a load, and refuse to continue their journey until they are paid their wages. Since then, the group of strikers has been steadily growing, now numbering more than sixty.

The anti-labour policies of the EU and the governments of all countries in favour of the employers has allowed the creation of a labyrinthine labour chaos where workers from Uzbekistan and Georgia work in Germany for a Polish company without being paid, while at the same time they are being presented as self-employed.

In fact, in the face of their just demands, the employer is attempting to terrorise them, using, according to the complaints, even the paramilitary organisation ‘Rutkowski Patrol’.

Against the employer’s intimidations and the anti-labour policies, the workers continue to fight for their wages with the support and solidarity of German workers, locals and immigrants, putting into practice the slogan “Workers of All Nations Unite”.

From Greece, PAME stands by the side of the struggling Mazur drivers in Germany and we express our solidarity with them!
