Call to Action from
PAME - All Workers Militant Front
http://www.pamehellas.gr
Workers , Greeks and Migrants, Unemployed, Pensioners, Young Men and Women
We call on All of
You to Rise, Strike and join PAME on February 24th , at 12:oo at
Omonoia Square
In order to see off
this anti-labour hurricane against wages, against the insurance system, against
industrial relations, against our own future and against our children’s future.
Employees,
The worst
anti-labour, the most wretched government of the last decades with the
"vultures" of big capital, Greeks and Europeans, have been dashing in what is
left of our rights and conquests.
-
They abolish
the social nature of insurance. They Increase the retirement age. They
reduce the amount of money per pension, they establish a pension to give to
the poor, and they reduce and degrade the public health system, insurance
and welfare system.
-
They reduce
salaries and wages and plunder on what is left, unleashing a storm of
appreciation and price increases in oil, medication, tickets and all types
of goods of wide popular consumption.
-
They reduce the
tax-free threshold to the amount of 6000 euros, using receipts and launch a
tax raid in broad popular strata. At the same time they reduce the taxation
of big firms from 25% to 20% and "feed" with billions of euros the German
and French arms manufacturers.
And as if these are
not enough, they are ready to abolish collective labour agreements. They want to
set totally free the limit of redundancies, they want to abolish Christmas,
Easter and holiday pay, they want to abolish the Sunday holiday and to
completely release working hours.
WE ANSWER:
NO SACRIFICE FOR THE RICH
-
It is a
constructed tale that we the employees support the antipopular measures the
government and EU takes. These are supported by employers; the sold out
leaders of GSEE - ADEDY, some well off journalists affiliated to the big
bosses of information, the imperialist agencies like I.M.F., the World Bank
etc.
-
It is a lie
that these measures are necessary and temporary. They had already decided on
these measures years before and use this crisis as an excuse to impose them
on the working class. These measures are necessary only for the capitalists,
Greeks and foreigners. Not only will these measures still be applied after
the crisis, but the need for even worse measures against workers will be
created.
-
The Prime
Minister’s and the Government’s claim that they save the country is a
wretched thing, they are these who raise the retirement age, reduce pensions
and wages, sell out public property, send our children to unemployment, make
the life of the working class family a living hell. Who do they save the
country from? From its own people??? The only thing they save is the profit
of capitalists. Patriotic is everything there is for the working class’
interests and not things that are for the local and foreign monopolies.
Employees,
The government with
EU, the capitalists, both domestic and foreign, the sold out labour aristocracy
in GSEE - ADEDY, which supports the government and considers that the measures
are to a positive direction, have formed a black, ruthless front against the
working class. Not only do they demand from us to pay for their own crisis. They
demand our own submission and our children’s submission for the next decades.
They have not taken
into consideration our own social block, our social alliance. The united front
of workers - self-employed artisans and merchants, poor and medium-strata
farmers is being established and strengthened.
Employee,
Do not accept to be
threatened, to be terrorized, to have the wealthy talk to you about sacrifice
and economy, these who steal from you the fruits of your own labour.
Not one step
back!!!!! If you show them fear at this time, they are not going to empathize
with you. Break the chains of terror. Only with class-oriented gathering,
popular alliance and political counterattack we can stop them. To overrule the
anti-labour policies.
Have trust in your
strength – strengthen PAME more, the social popular alliance. Strike with us,
join us in our rally, with PAME, to demand:
-
Permanent
steady work for all, for us and our children.
-
1.400 € basic
wages, 1.120 € basic pension and unemployment benefits.
-
Public, free
and upgraded health services – welfare services.
-
To abolish
anti-peoples, anti-insurance laws issued by ND and PASOK.
-
To withdraw now
anti-labour measures on insurance and taxation
