+ | **CYPRIOT AND FOREIGN WORKERS UNITED** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cyprus could not help but also be affected by the global economic crisis of capitalism. The result of the attack of the capitalists’ against the working masses has no other purpose than to overcome the crisis at the expense of the social majority. But the truth is: We, the working masses, the unemployed, and the youths; we were not the cause of their crisis. As always, the profit was theirs and so should the crisis be; theirs. They burden us with the capitalistic crisis, the debts and the deficits that the capital has created. At the same time, the government spends billions on the banks so that they can continue to increase their profits. Unemployment has become a nightmarish reality; especially for the youth, having reached its highest percentage of unemployment, | ||

+ | Employees should not be fooled by this propaganda. It is already clear that cuts in public were just the beginning, and now the attack has gone further into a private level by threatening even the basic rights and achievements of the workers. Immigrants, on the other hand, living under an almost medieval overexploitation condition imposed by the ‘sovereigns’. Therefore, the employers and the government aim to weaken the value of labour power even more in order to elevate their profits. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We know that, we, as private employees, will not be able to claim our rights if the salaries of the public workers are decreased. We know that the money they lose will not go into our pockets; and that if the attack against them passes, we will lose even more. The more experienced workers know that if the new employees get a lower salary, there is certainly going be a time when their turn comes. We, Cypriot employees, know that the exploitation of the foreign employees and the cheap working labour can only do us harm and have negative result. Not because we cannot compete with those who ‘steal’ our jobs or because we want to support them by mere charitableness or compassion, but because we know that when one part of them is under explicit exploitation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Employees cannot expect anything from the syndicalism union as the whole control by the party bureaucracies has turned them into party mechanisms where the well-endowed leaders promote customer and managerial ‘deceptive’ syndicalism which usually compromises, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Today, we march and shout that we are on the side of the foreign employees, rejecting and fighting every voice that tries to incriminate the situation that creates the crisis. We are fighting for their rights at work, security, decent wages and decent life, knowing that we fight together for our local workers. We call on all workers, women and men, young and older, public and private officials, locals and foreigners to dare and look in the eyes of their real enemy and thus, together, move forward in the struggle to claim our common rights. | ||
