ALL TOGETHER
IN THE 24-hour GENERAL STRIKE ON NOVEMBER 6
AND IN THE DEMONSTRATION AT OMONOIA sq. 10.30a.m.
THE POWER LIES IN THE ORGANIZATIONS
THE HOPE LIES IN THE STRUGGLE
THIS CANNOT GO ANY FURTHER!
We call upon all the trade union organizations, trade union committees, people’s committees, workers in every sector, young women and men, unemployed and pensioners, women and immigrants in a GENERAL RISE UP.
We must promote the PREVENTION of the new antilabour measures. To OVERTHROW the brutality!
They must now feel the power of the labour – popular movement. The strike alarm must sound everywhere.
In every sector every worker individually and all together united as a fist, we must take the individual and collective responsibility for the success of the strike. Militant decisions of participation in the strike must be taken through massive collective procedures, general meetings. Every trade union must organize the strike in its branch; take measures of preparation for its success. The decision to strike must be conscious and not a mere formality, decisive struggle and resistance from every sector, every factory and workplace.
The government and the capitalists are lying by saying that no more measures will come! Our life has become unbearable! They are leading us to massive impoverishment so that the profits of the few will be saved, so that they will become even more powerful. The greed of the large business groups will never cease! They want us being slaves, silent, unorganized.
We must not surrender our rights.
They are preparing a new round of attack.
The abolition of the sectoral collective agreements and the extension of individual agreements lead to new measures so that they will impose wages of 300 euros. The government and the capital plan new cuts for workers in the private sector; they abolish compensations, supplementary pensions, they crush the amount given as lump sum, they prepare new reductions in the primary pensions.
We must not allow them to make our life hell!
At a time when employment of personnel is needed, thousands of new dismissals are coming in the public and private sector; they release dismissals giving to the big employers the right to dismiss whenever they want and as many as they desire. They demolish the full-time and stable job; they abolish the Sunday holiday.
We must not tolerate the conditions of modern degradation
WE STRIKE ON NOVEMBER 6th
The government imposes 25 euros for hospitalization and treatment; it closes hospital units depriving the people the right to free health. It makes the head fines permanent; it bleeds us with the unbearable taxes. It prepares new increases in transport fares. It puts the primary residence up for auction. It privatizes electricity, water, and education.
The government and the capital condemn our children and us to permanent unemployment, in conditions where 1.5 million unemployed are recycled into underpaid programs of false employment. They require from us to live with benefits of misery of 200 euros.
All these measures are the continuation of the previous ones. The deterioration of our lives does not have an end.
The overthrow of the brutality we live is necessary for us in order to breathe.
The concession to difficulties, the reconciliation with the capital, the negotiations within the European Union, lead to the longevity of the barbarism. We must get rid of those who turn our life into hell!
We must build our own alliance. The working class will find its allies among the thousands of self-employed who close their shop, among the thousands of farmers who loose their farms, the women who experience the drama of the whole family, the children, the young people who cannot study, cannot find a job to live.
We have to answer to the escalation of the aggressiveness of the capital and the state, to the mechanisms that nourishes. The criminal – Nazist gang of the Golden Dawn must be condemned, isolated and uprooted from every workplace and sector. It is the monster of the capitalist ownership, exploitation, of the employers and state terrorism.
ON NOVEMBER 6th WE ALL STRIKE overcoming the threats and blackmails of the employers, the obstacles that the governmental and employers’ trade unionism puts. We make our own impetuous river that will crush any sabotage of the government and its mechanisms.
We must be reconstructed now!
To test our strength.
To believe in our right.
