The Greek Government of SYRIZA – ANEL with “fast track” procedures brings to Parliament the second part of the prerequisites, so as to satisfy the demands of the Greek capitalists and the European Union. Within this is the “new wage of civil servants”, which will be effective from 01.01.2016, the privatization of part of the Electricity Company, and transfer of people’s loans to the vultures of financial markets.
The government, the capital and the EU, in addition to the offensive against the social character of security -with new cuts in pensions, increases in retirement age limits, cuts to healthcare services etc., they shape their tactic, the anti-people, anti-labor plans for the next period.
No consensus on the continued slaughter of our rights!
No compromise with poverty, miserable life!
Those measures must meet a wall by the unions and the workers. There must be a response to the new attempt to intimidate the working people with old and new dilemmas about the EU, with blackmails for political instability, when employers’ intimidations escalate in every industry.
PAME calls on trade unions, workers, the unemployed, pensioners, youth and women, farmers, self-employed to strengthen the fight against the anti-peoples’ plans of the Greek Government and the Capital.
The strikes that of November 12 and December 3, gave answer to the government’s attempt to present a false image that the workers support the massacre of their rights. That the working class has aligned with the bourgeois political parties, which voted in favor of the 3rd Memorandum.
PAME calls upon the trade unions, industry trade unions, federations, labor centers, to decide for a new strike on January, on the issue of protecting Social Security, to block the plans to abolish Social Security. This means intensification of collective processes through discussions in all sectors and workplaces, meetings, conferences of the unions, general assemblies. To strengthen the awareness on the issue of Social Security! Break Silence and Complicity with the Crime they prepare. To support the struggles in industries, factories, workplaces against layoffs, for payment of accrued as thousands of workers remain unpaid for months, for the signing of collective agreements.
PAME takes the initiative and calls for General Struggle
Rallying of Forces for the great issue of Social Security.
Preventing and overthrowing the anti-people government policy – the EU requires from all employees involvement in the organization of the struggle, formation of a social alliance and joint action with the other popular strata. It requires strengthening the struggle for the satisfaction of modern people’s needs.
