European Office of WFTU expresses its indignation at the new serious attack on the health and safety of the workers,
which resulted in the death of one worker and the injury of two others in the port of Piraeus, and expresses its full solidarity and support to the Greek port workers who immediately went on strike and protested.
Throughout Europe and the world, the increase in exploitation and the bosses’ thirst for profit is leading to a sharp increase in the number of murders and serious and very serious accidents at work.
Port workers are among the most exposed, as the port companies play the cost-cutting game by reducing all protection for workers and increasing the pace of work.
To stop the carnage, we must stop the exploitation.
