THEY CRUSH OUR LIFE
DON’T BE AFRAID, DON’T BE TERRIFIED
You have the power!
The indignation and anger are not enough today, if they aren’t be connected with the organized, conscious, mass labor-popular struggle for the decisive confrontation and the overthrow of the policy of monopolies which tramples us.
Reinforce your struggle. Organize yourselves within your trade union. You must strengthen PAME!
You need a support; you need a movement which does not compromise. A movement that will put obstacles, will delay the governmental measures. A movement that will organize the struggle for direct relief measures of the popular strata, the unemployed people.
You must believe in your power and overthrow this situation! Because no gear turns without you.
They are ruthless!
It cannot go any further! They want to abolish the minimum wage, because it is not enough for them the fact that young workers have 500euros as a wage by law. Because it is not enough for them the fact that one out of four workers works uninsured, that a percentage of workers already gets paid with less that 500euros and the tax-exemption limit was reduced at 5,000euros.
The barrel doesn’t have a bottom… “Oxygen” for the new model of development that they trumpet is the misery and poverty of the people. The invitation to the investors to invest in our country is an invitation to predators to prey very cheaply upon our lives, upon all the wealth we have created.
Nobody can stay in a waiting-mode. Nobody can be deceived that these measures are for the national interest and for the good of our country. These are measures serving those who caused the crisis, industrialists, bankers, ship-owners, big hotel-owners, large-scale tradesmen and their allies in the European Union. They brought the memoranda, the medium-term programme. The government of PASOK (social-democrats), together with N.D. (conservatives), LAOS (nationalists) and troika serve them. They are not the homeland. We are the homeland, who create all the wealth, which is plundered by the few.
Take position!
The government together with the other parties of the capital, the trade union leaderships which are accomplices all these years in the antilabor choices and serve the employers, are on the one side. They are on the side of paradise for the employers and of hell for the workers.
On the other side are the workers, the popular strata who are tortured every day by this policy. Worker you need to enter the broad workers’ front in the private and the public sector in order for us to prevent the implementation of the brutal measures, to overthrow the policy and all the governments that serve the competitiveness and the profitability of the capital. We must strengthen our struggle together with the self-employed people, the poor farmers.
All these who claim that the capital and the workers can have common interest, tell lies and are enemies of the people.
No female or male worker, nobody from the popular strata can remain supporters to PASOK, N.D., LAOS, the parties that support E.U. Struggle now to overthrow the antipopular policy. Struggle now to exit from the E.U. Struggle now for a power which will be at the people’s service. Popular front in order for us to take in our hands the destiny of our country. For the socialization of the monopolies and of the centralized means of production. For a centrally planned economy which will have as its exclusive target our own needs and not the needs of the monopolies.
OCTOBER 19 WE ARE ALL ON STRIKE – NOBODY GOES TO WORK
No female or male worker must support the executives of these parties within the trade unions. No confidence in GSEE and ADEDY (governmental and employers’ trade unionism in the private and public sector).
They are accomplices in the crimes at the expense of the working class. With the recent agreement signed for OTE (telecommunication) by PASKE – DAKE (the forces of PASOK and N.D. in GSEE) and the support of GSEE for the reduction of wages for 3 years by 11%, they showed which side they are on, and the generalization of wage reductions was sealed.
Their flag is the competitiveness of monopolies, which requires the blood of the working class in order for the competitiveness to be safeguarded and become gigantic.
One for all and all for one.
Day by day it is proven in life that nobody can confront the attack alone, no individual attitude can give solutions. A coordinated, organized, collective respond is needed to the overall and brutal war they have declared.
Every dismissal, every wage reduction, every attack on rights, every attempt to cut electricity, every attempt to seize assets, every employers’ and governmental terrorism must be confronted with the furious resistance by all of us.
The sacrifices that everyone should make to enter the struggle are less than the sacrifices needed in order for a handful of people and businesses to become richer at our expense.
In their war, we respond through war. We have the power and we will win.
