WFTU solidarity statement with the National Strike in Greece The World Federation of Trade Unions, representing more than 105 million workers in 133 countries of the 5 continents, expresses its full support with the struggling working class of Greece and the national strike on April 17th, 2024.

The international class-oriented trade union movement expresses its internationalist solidarity with the PAME and the class-oriented unions in Greece and joins their voice with the just demand for substantial wage increases and increase the minimum wage, fixed 35hour work per week, abolition of anti-worker laws, and restoration of collective bargaining, workers’ benefits such as the Christmas and Easter benefits, the holiday allowance for civil servants, unemployment benefit at 80% of the minimum wage for all unemployed, reduction of taxes and utility bills, against auctions, privatization and commercialization of public sector and no involvement of Greece in the imperialist wars.

Workers’ achievements are earned only through class struggles and we call the proud working class of Greece, students, farmers, small professionals, and the popular strata in general to massively participate in the national strike.
