SEGDAMELIN PEO expresses its support for the 2nd International Day of Action of Dockworkers, taking place on 30 October 2026, and declares the participation and solidarity of Cypriot workers and its members in this international initiative. Workers in ports and transport know firsthand the importance of ports as critical hubs for the economy, trade and society. At the same time, the role that port infrastructure can play in the transportation of military equipment and war materiel cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a class-oriented trade union movement, we do not accept the idea that workers should pay the price for wars and rivalries. Workers and peoples have nothing to gain from the escalation of armed conflicts. They need peace, security, decent wages, stable employment, collective agreements, reasonable working hours, and effective protection of health and safety in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We, the workers of Cyprus, know firsthand what war, occupation, division and militarization mean. That is why we stand alongside workers around the world in the struggle to defend peace and for a world without imperialist wars and interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The enormous expenditure on the war economy leads to austerity policies and cuts in social spending on healthcare, education, pensions and wages, while increasing the risks to global peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will not accept human lives and workers\u2019 rights being sacrificed for the profits and interests of the powerful. At the same time, we believe that the struggle for peace is inextricably linked to the struggle for decent and safe work. Against privatization, precarious employment and the deregulation of labour relations, the response of workers is organization, collective action and international solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We support the mobilization of 30 October and join our voice with dockworkers and workers around the world who are fighting for peace, dignity and rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Cyprus, we send our own message of internationalist solidarity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PORTS FOR PEACE \u2013 JOBS WITH DIGNITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NO SACRIFICE OF WORKERS FOR WARS AND PROFITS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
