The World Federation of Trade Unions, the militant voice of more than 105 million workers who live, work and struggle in 134 countries all over the world, expresses its undivided support and solidarity with the Turkish-Cypriot trade unions struggle for the Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), which constitutes an effective mechanism that automatically increases the nominal wage based on inflation, maintaining the purchasing power of the wage workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After powerful mobilizations in several sectors in the Northern part of Cyprus with full participation across institutions, workplaces, and schools, the Trade Unions decided to continue the general strike in defense of COLA, which has now culminated in a broader social and political struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WFTU congratulates its affiliates for being once again relentlessly and militantly at the forefront of this important struggle. We are confident that with the unity and class-orientation of the workers, the strike will be successful and the just demands of the trade union movement will be met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
