Dozens of Trade Unions, Federations, Labour Centres have already responded to PAME’s call for General Strike against the Government’s plans to bring a new Bill on Social Security by the end of January.
The new bill is going to be added to the brutal antiworkers’ measures that were legislated during summer. The new Bill’s core will abolish completely the social character of Social Security. It confirms all anti-labor measures on social security, which had been legislated by the previous liberal and social democratic governments. In addition to the 11 pension cuts by the previous Governments and the 2 cuts in pensions imposed by SYRIZA, they plan new cuts in all pensions.
The Syriza Bill affects all workers in one stroke. It affects the existing and the future pensioners, as well as the young workers, as it transforms all Healthcare and Security Rights to commodities making Healthcare, not a right for all people, but a privilege for the few.
Against these developments PAME has called for preparation of General National Strike when the bill is brought for in the Parliament. Till today, dozens trade union organizations have announced their participation and prepare the Strike.
On Friday, January 8, the class trade unions have also called for a Protest at the Ministry of Labour.
We strengthen the Struggle! We Organize!
We will not let them destroy our lives!
We strengthen the preparation for a massive Strike!
