From 24 to 25 June 2015 in the capital of France in Paris, 62 trade unionists from 28 countries have gathered to participate in the succesful International Conference on Petrochemicals organized by FNIC-CGT and WFTU.
Opening the Conference, the General Secretary George Mavrikos said: “There is no better location than here in Paris, where the WFTU was founded in 3 October 1945, and no better time, this year when the WFTU celebrates is 70th Anniversary, to remember the strong bond between the WFTU and the working people in France who have organized important struggles the previous decades with international contribution for accomplishment of the workers rights we know today.
Even if reformism and Eurocommunism in the leading circles tried to put barriers between the WFTU and the French Trade Unions it is obvious that they failed. The need for joint and united struggle with class-oriented militant and internationalist characteristics against the monopolies and imperialism had to bring us together again.”
