The people of Greece and their trade unions need our solidarity and support in their battle against austerity!

The Greek trade unions have organised some 30 General Strikes. There have been thousands of demonstrations, street battles and occupations of schools, factories and government buildings. The latest year long battle of women cleaners at the Finance Ministry against redundancy and privatisation is the front line of the resistance to the selling off of all public service jobs.

The people of Greece have been battling the onslaughts of neoliberal capitalism since 2010 – the Greeks were to be the expendable guinea pig for the Austerity Policies which are being imposed across Europe.  What’s happening in Greece now, is what will happen if Cameron gets in again here.

There has been a massive growth in support for anti-austerity parties – the latest opinion polls give Syriza – the party comprised of a coalition of the radical left – a big 11.5% lead and elections may be in the spring.  http://greecesolidarity.org/?p=1906.

THE PEOPLE OF GREECE NEED OUR SOLIDARITY TO KEEP GOING!

National unemployment stands at 28% – the highest in Europe – with 60% youth unemployment. Pay and pensions have been cut.  Taxes have been raised and new ones imposed retrospectively. Everything is being sold off. Health Care and medicines are now not available to many. Public Health cuts have cut children’s vaccinations. Preventable diseases have reappeared. http://greecesolidarity.org/?page_id=807.   To resist and survive – the people have established a growing social solidarity network of free health clinics and pharmacies, community kitchens, exchange markets, farmers food markets and local support and solidarity associations.
