Greece: With the steelworkers on strike for 6 months celebrated May Day the GS of WFTU

With his participation in the May Day Demonstration organised by PAME in Greece, the General Secretary of the World Federation of Trade Unions expressed once more the warm internationalist solidarity of the workers of the world to the hard and long-lasting struggle of the Greek Workers against the barbaric policy implemented by the Greek government in cooperation with the European Union, the IMF and the European Central Bank.

The May Day Demonstration was organised by the Greek class-oriented trade unions outside the Steel industry “Helliniki Halivourgia” whose workers have been on continuous strike for almost six month being in the frontline of the struggle for all the Greek working class against dismissals, huge salary cuts, heavy taxation etc.

The World Federation has been on their side since the very beginning by organising important initiaves such as International Action Days in solidarity with their struggle. Dozens of foreign delegations have visited the steel-industry and addressed their workers throughout this period.

A fraternal militant greeting was addressed to the massive demonstration also by the representative of the USB (Italy) comrade Suzepe Larondina.
