The Trade Unions that participated at the European Trade Union meeting in Brussels on the 25th and 26th of January, firmly denounce the repressive laws against the right to strike and in particular the extremely violent attacks directed against our comrades from Goodyear CGT union in France, amongst which 8 of them have recently been convicted by the class judicial system to serve time in prison, for having defended their jobs.

We express our complete solidarity with the workers struggling against exploitation and the repressive oppression of Capital. We stand in solidarity with the mobilization that is being organized in France on the 4th of February 2016 demanding that all charges and sentences directed at our comrades from the CGT Goodyear union be dropped and withdrawn.
