Held shortly after the Greek trade
union leaders have signed a disappointing agreement with the bosses,
this year’s rallies were small but the workers and youth present
expressed a militant mood.
We have just been informed that yesterday the Greek government has withdrawn
from its plans to close the plant in Thessaloniki. They say it will reopen
"partially". This is a big victory for the workers after two months of
determined struggle. For now the solidarity appeal is suspended as we await the
outcome.
Representatives of the
Editorial Board of “Marxistiki Foni” met the workers of the
fertilizer factory in Thessaloniki, who had once again come down to
Athens (a 6-hour train journey), to protest in front of the Ministry
of Labour against the closure of their factory. We publish the
announcement of their union. We should all support their struggle!
