Dear comrades,

We express our sincere gratitude for your kind invitation to the 6th National Congress of PAME, and our deepest solidarity wishes on behalf of the working class of Turkey.

As you also pointed out in your invitation letter, a demanding, and resilient and militant trade union movement in the face of capitalist barbarism, which extends its oppressing face with imperialist wars all over the world, is far more vital today than ever before and more
urgent than any other time of the history.

We would like you to know that we are proud allies and comrades of our fraternal union PAME in Turkey, committed to the principles of struggle and war against the barbarism of capitalism and the greedy alliance of states and business groups.

We, who were given the leadership responsibility at the congress of our union Sosyal-İş in January 2024, are decisively committed to being part of all joint discussions, actions, and activities to be organized together with PAME.

Our dear comrades,

We believe that the 6th National Congress of PAME on November 9-10 will be a stimulating event for the working class of Greece and for all workers and trade union movements around the world who are part of our class fraternity. Unfortunately, we will not be able to be with you on this momentous day in the history of our international struggle due to the heavy schedule of our union work and previously scheduled activities.

We warmly salute your 6th National Congress with our revolutionary feelings on behalf of our union and the working class of Turkey.

Our strength is in our organization!
Viva la unity of the workers!

On behalf of the General Board of DİSK Affiliated Sosyal-İş Union
