The World Federation of Trade Unions expresses its class solidarity with the journalists of Fairfax Media who are striking against the 120 dismissals due to “redundancies and cost-cutting measures at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Australian Financial Review” announced by the company.
Their strike is a response to the company’s decision to cut down workers’ rights, trying to place the burden of the capitalist crisis on the backs of the workers.The class unity among the workers, regardless the sector they work in, if they have a permanent or a temporal job and their class oriented struggle can defend the workers’ rights and set the foundations for the struggle for a world without capitalist exploitation.
On behalf of the 92 million workers in 126 countries of the world, the WFTU reiterates its full solidarity with the workers Fairfax Media and we call them to continue their struggle until all their righteous demands are fulfilled.
