Dear Brothers and sisters,
Message
of Solidarity
We send to you our
international greetings and solidarity. We watched with admiration your
struggle and the European general strike in which we understand you
participated in strongly.
We and our members know
something of your struggle. We know the attack on your rights is an attack not
only on you, but your families, your partners and your children. We and our
members also know your struggle because some of us were part of or worked
closely with the dock workers in Liverpool in 96-98 and know how the precarious
hours, the telephone calls by the employer for a summons to work on a Saturday
night was taking the life out of workers and putting huge pressure on their families.
As the Liverpool
dock workers used to say the ‘world is our picket line’ and we extend our
support with the same feeling.
Today workers across Europe,
and the world, are fighting against austerity and the attacks on the public and
private sectors are mounting. We know that behind the British government
stands the European Union, the IMF and the banking system. As the crisis
deepens we need ever closer ties and we can raise greater awareness of your
struggle.
Please keep us informed of
your fight.
European workers united in
struggle can never be defeated."
Yours in Solidarity,
Maria Checkland - Branch Secretary
Michael Tighe – Branch Chairman
