All Workers

Mandate Trade Union, the Retail Workers Union of Ireland expresses working class solidarity with the workers of Greece in their struggle against austerity policies and the undemocratic decisions imposed on the people of Greece so as  to save International Capital and secure the gambling debts of Banks and Bond Holders, these Austerity measures are but a weapon in a class war being waged against workers all across Europe.

In Ireland also the austerity measures have targeted the most vulnerable in our society and attempted to undermine social solidarity by demonising workers, public service and labour standards.

Mandate fully supports the struggle of Greek workers and we are calling for the immediate release of all Steel Workers who were so unjustly imprisoned by a system intent on protecting the class interests of the wealthy.

Our common struggle unites us in the battle for justice, equality and liberty
