2013 V 1 – 1rst of May : UITBB message |
The people say no to their future being robbed
The TRADES UNION INTERNATIONAL OF WORKERS IN CONSTRUCTION, WOOD AND BUILDING MATERIALS INDUSTRIES – UITBB, affiliated to the WFTU, conveys militant greetings to all its members and workers in general, on the occasion of the International Labour Day - 1st May.
This year Labour Day is marked by a particularly difficult situation for the working class of the whole world, confronted with the consequences of economic crisis, notably in the core countries of the capitalist economy. Despite the many difficulties faced by workers, such as the sky-rocking level of unemployment, destruction of stable and permanent jobs, brutal wage cuts and abolition of social, economic and political rights acquired as a result of heroic working class struggles, workers and oppressed people have embarked on resolute struggle to resist the attacks of the capitalist system. The workers must not pay for this crisis of the capitalist system. We all must oppose the proposed so-called solution to the crisis through the so-called "fiscal balance", a “solution”, which caters exclusively for the class interests of the bankers, of the monopolies and of the governments in their service.
