Dear comrades, receive our congratulations and wishes of total success on the occasion of the National Congress of PAME, on November 9 and 10 in Athens.

It is very significant that the highest event of PAME, trade union vanguard of the struggles  of the Greek proletariat, takes place in the midst of a wave of militant strikes that are developing in various labor sectors throughout Greece in preparation for a General Strike against the offensive of capital, for the defeat of the pretensions of the bosses and their  State to impose labor deregulation and to dissociate the Greek nation from the current imperialist wars.

It is evident that PAME, with a titanic, patient and planned effort, has achieved that the  classconscious trade union movement advances and develops in Greece, displacing declassed trade unionism, instrumental to the plans of over-exploitation of big capital.

For the conscious workers of the world and for the class-conscious trade union expressions  of all countries, PAME is today a reference of tenacious proletarian combat and of powerful
advance, not only for its national workers struggles in close relation with the general interests of the Greek people, but also for the militant internationalist solidarity, particularly
demonstrated in its support to the Palestinian people victim of the Zionist-imperialist genocide, as well as for its active opposition to NATO and European Union warmongering in association with the United States.

For these and other reasons, we hope that from this National Congress PAME will come out 
stronger and consolidate its capacity of organization, mobilization and unification of the working class and all the working people of Greece.

The central slogan of the National Congress and of the recent mobilizations led by PAME –  “Their Profits or Our Lives!”, it is a synthesis of the content of the current struggles of the working class and trade union movement of the entire planet: either we unite to fight and defeat the unbridled ambitions of big capital or millions of workers will lose their lives and even the very existence of humanity will be in danger.

An embrace from Venezuela to all our class brothers and sisters grouped in PAME.
