The Executive Secretariat of PAME salutes the thousands of workers who took part in the strike against all the difficulties and the obstacles they met. They rallied with PAME all over Greece, massively and militantly.

This strike proves that there is an important part of the Greek working class that does not submit to the threats of the government and the troika.

Today’s strike was systematically undermined since its declaration. The employers’ trade union leaderships that called for strike did not want this to turn into militancy within the workplaces, nor to organise the workers’ struggle against the employers.

The situation points to specific conclusions

The workers must turn their indignation into organised action within the workplaces, the popular neighbourhoods.

The workers must turn their backs to the employers’ trade unionism -such as the leaderships of GSEE-ADEDY in Greece-.

The forces of PAME did their best, against all odds, for the success of the strike. Without the efforts of PAME the situation would have been much worse.

The offensive of the capital against the working class will continue with new laws in favour of the monopolies. To stop the measures, old and new, we need organization and action in the workplaces with strengthening of PAME. With common action with the popular strata, to create the conditions so as to overthrow the measures, and also for massive counter attack.
