TO MEMBER ORGANISATIONS IN GREECE
Statement of support for tomorrow’s strike
Dear Colleagues,
On the occasion of tomorrow’s strike in Greece, I extend greetings of solidarity to EI Member Organisations on behalf of 33 million members in 180 countries across the globe. We salute you in your determination, along with that of workers from across Greece, to bring to justice those responsible for the tragic events of Tempe two years ago. There can be no cover-up.
This struggle highlights the shortcomings and indeed dangers associated with the privatisation and commercialisation of public services.
As you rightly point out, in our world of education, the privatisation and commercialisation of education contributes to the undermining and degradation of quality public education for all.
We join you in demanding that people must always come before profit. In solidarity,
David Edwards
General Secretary
