A-Infos (en) Greece, :Athens, Mayday of Solidarity and Dignity in the dockyard ZONE of Piraeus

[a-infos@ainfos.ca]

This year's 1st of May was on a Sunday and on a
religious day of the easter. So Mayday in Greece will
take place on the 10th and 11th of May.
Today (10/05) comrades from various anarchist groups
are marching in Athens. Tomorrow (11/05) we will be
marching in Piraeus (the port of Athens), and
specifically in Perama where there is the bigger
dockyard of Greece and one of the biggest in
Mediterranean. Actually it is a ZONE of dockyards
where capitalism and the bosses' profit know no
limits, and where the murders of workers (what they
want to call “working accidents) are an
everyday reality.

- We, who sign this document, create the
"Committee  for Mayday 2005" with the purpose of class
and militant celebration of the day of the global
working class.

We decided to make the central point of our
mobilisations the Dockyard ZONE of Perama (Piraeus of
Athens), and to get away from the established party
parades that have transformed Mayday into a routine
-  a party duty for their members which is far
away from the visions, the needs and the alliance of
the workers.

We go to Perama because there are the problems!
Because there they kill the workers on the altar of
the capitalist profit, because there the unemployment
is crashing the dignity of workers, bring misery and
marginalize the people who should have the first
saying in the social evolution. Because there is the
capitalist barbarism in all its glory, with the
exhausting shifts, the inhuman working conditions, and
the employers' terrorism.

We go to Perama for all the workers! Because
everywhere today the workers suffer, the wages and the
pensions are reaching the limits of starvation, the
factories are closing the one after the other, and the
workers are thrown out like dogs, the shifts are
according the measures and the interests of the
employers only, the hospitals and the schools need so
many money, and finally the word worker inside society
became synonym of insult and depreciation.

We go to Perama to cry out! To cry out against the
rotten world of profit, of rip-off and of jobbery,
against the corrupt state and party bureaucracy,
against the parasitism of petit bourgeois,
Against this wolrd of capitalist profit is the world
of the people of work and dignity. And this world
worth to be celebrated on Mayday!

We go to Perama to express our solidarity!  Our
solidarity to all workers, to all the repressed, to
the immigrants, to the youth, to the woman, to all of
them who are crashed under the boot of the capitalist
exploitation and repression. Our solidarity to all the
people, from the east to the west, where millions are
suffering, murdered from the wars and the starvation,
dying even before they born and before the get old.

We go to Perama to dream! To raise the Mayday
internationalist flag, against the stupidity of
nationalism and racism of every form. To find our
optimism and the strength of the social fighter,
through the visions of a new world without the
exploitation and the repression which inflicted by
human being onto their own kind, without
discrimination and social injustice,  through the
vision of a world bright from solidarity and dignity,
against the darkness of their new Dark Age of
capitalism.

That's why we make an open call to you to be on
Perama!

In order to make the Mayday the spark of resistance
and struggle which will stand against the storm of the
capitalist assault which has already begun. -

Mayday 2005 which is cosigned by

"
TO EVERYONE:

Worker, the self-deceits and the illusions for a
better life sooner or later are going to finish.

The bosses are murdering, sacking and blackmailing
with the most flagrant way. They own everything,
the water, the air, the life itself. The profit, the
ultimate pretext of their barbarism, has imposed a new
dictatorship with a democratic disguise. They found
the open ground and they are on the assault.

The state and the parties are - struggling
about who will serve better the interests of the
bosses.

The established unions (worker's syndicates) are
bargaining for a few more pieces of bread in order to
counterbalance the sweat and the blood of the workers,
which was shed inside the ZONE.

The - workfathers (union leaders) of the
General Confederation of Workers of Greece (GSEE) are
preparing to become the tomorrow's ministers as
the wealth and the luxury in which they live is the
payoff for the services they offer to their bosses.

Worker you know the truth

The selforganisation and the solidarity will bring
forth the real power of the working class that can
take, control and manage the production procedure.
They ask us to be flexible, on contracts, part-timers,
and from time to time part-timers. They ask us to lose
our dignity. They ask us EVERYTHING -  we will
give them NOTHING!

RESISTANCE -  SOLIDARITY -  DIGNITY
The profit is murdering in the ZONE "
