As trade unionists veterans, who lived through the struggles is difficult to deceive us, we denounce that so called “workers’” international organization ITF (International Transport workers Federation) has called an International day of action for dockers.
This is an action only to create a false image of struggles for organizations that oppose class struggle.
The workers in transport, in the docks, as all the workers who ever had dealings with these labour aristocracy organizations, know very well how high the cost of their “services” is.
The maritime workers, dockers, or sailors who have been in need of representation are “blackmailed” into paying the representatives of the ITF for their services! At the same time, the ITF is openly in the payroll of the multinationals receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars! Their main service, for which they are “rewarded” by the capitalists, is fostering “social peace”, stopping militant actions and collective demands.
The workers must isolate such organizations, they must strengthen the class unions, solidarity and internationalism against the multinationals and their representatives within the trade union movement
