PAME (All Workers Militant Front) that represents the class trade union movement of Greece expresses its internationalist solidarity with the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union, “NEHAWU” of South Africa, and firmly supports their strike and mobilizations that begin on October 10th, 2018, in all South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) workplaces across the country.

The strike comes as a result of the refusal by the SASSA management to fulfill the workers’ demands and to resolve the problems that the SASSA system presents, while this struggle is waged both for the interests of the SASSA workers and of its 17 million beneficiaries, who consist the most vulnerable section of South Africa and rely only on SASSA for livelihood.

PAME from Greece we join our voice with the workers of NEHAWU, and we support this important struggle for the improvement of their working conditions and for better social security services in their country.
