As the Greek government moves to make massive cuts to public sector services and jobs as part of its “rescue” package negotiated with the International Monetary Fund and European governments, Greek unions are preparing for a private and public sector general strike on May 5. An appeal for solidarity from eight radical union organizations in Europe declares “We Are all Greek Workers!” (the text here is in French).
Also, three dozen far left organizations in Europe have issued a solidarity statement that has been welcomed by SYRIZA (Coalition of the Radical Left) in Greece.
