PASYEK PEO expresses its solidarity with USB Italy for the general
strike it is holding in the public sector on November 17th.
|
The general strike is taking place with the
aim of addressing the real problems afflicting the Public Administration,
first and foremost the non-renewal of collective agreements and the
stabilization of precarious workers. |
In all European countries, attacks on workers' rights are intensifying,
privatisation of key public sectors is being promoted, flexible forms of
employment and redundancies are increasing. On the contrary, workers continue
to fight against privatizations and layoffs, to demand the hiring of permanent
staff, wage increases.
In this critical period when capitalist
crises follow one another, inflation and high prices are eroding the living
standards of workers and social inequalities are intensifying, those who reap
the profits are recklessly accumulating wealth.
We face similar problems in Cyprus where we fight for collective
agreements, wage increases, staffing and investments in the public sector.
We support your just demands and wish success
in the strike on the 17th of November.
