The large number of people participating in the strikes of the categories that are taking place in preparation for the general strike already give an idea of the large number of people supporting the reasons for the struggle.

Pursue those responsible and discover the real causes that led to the crime.
No cover-up.
Strengthen the fight against the policy of ‘liberalisation’ and privatisation of the EU and governments.
For a modern, safe, regular, cheap and exclusively public rail transport.
Health and safety measures in all workplaces. Collective labour agreements and fixed daily working hours. Wage increases.
A decisive increase in state funding for health, education, welfare, social policy services provided by local authorities, and for protection against natural disasters.
Massive recruitment of permanent staff in all these critical sectors.
Strengthen the fight for the protection of human life. No to military armaments and NATO spending. Greece out of the slaughterhouses of war!
EUROF invites all member organisations and friends of the WFTU to show their solidarity and support for the Greek workers and PAME, and we wish them every success in their general strike.
THEIR PROFITS OR OUR LIVES.
