Rally in Athens on Monday, September 8th
We continue with an escalation of the struggle and a nationwide, all-workers strike on October 1st, to stop the anti-labour monstrosity!
The determination of the workers to block the anti-labour bill for 13-hour workdays and generalized “flexibility” was declared at the militant rally of the unions in the center of Athens on Monday, September 8th.
Thousands of workers from every sector and workplace joined their voices together and, with their banners and slogans, sent a clear message with their demands:
Jobs with rights – Reduction of working hours – 7-hour day, 5-day week, 35-hour week – Collective Bargaining Agreements – Wage increases.
This massive mobilization sent a resounding message against the modern labour barbarity imposed by government laws and EU directives, all in the name of “competitiveness” and the needs of the war economy. The demands of capital, which exhaust and surpass every limit, will not go unanswered.
Workers are not machines! We have lives, rights, and needs. We fight to live with dignity, not to become slaves for the profits of the few and “cannon fodder” for imperialist wars.
The demonstration also sent a message of internationalist solidarity, decisively condemning the ongoing massacre of the Palestinian people by the murderer state of Israel and Greece’s involvement in imperialist plans.
