The 264 days of strike at the steel plant of Aspropyrgos, a few miles outside Athens, is an example of a solid, heroic resistance. The workers are determined to continue their struggle until victory -- for that they have contributed with specific proposals (Collective Contracts for everyone, reinstatement of the fired workers, humane conditions of work ) including t he cancellation of the lay offs decided by the employer. The vindication of this hard and proud struggle will definitely be a victory for every worker in any corner of the world.
[UPDATE] - July 20, 2012:
The above article was written on Thursday, 19th of July. On the early morning of Friday, Riot Police forces, under the instructions of the coalition government, attempted to break the heroic strike of the steel workers, thus arresting the strikers picket line, who have been on strike for 9 months. Very quickly and after the mobilisation of PAME, hundreds of workers gathered at the gates of HALIVOURGIA to support the strikers steel workers. The solidarity mobilisation was still in progress on Friday afternoon.
