The lowered wages and worsened labour laws in southern Europe - TopicsExpress



          

The lowered wages and worsened labour laws in southern Europe are also reasons to show solidarity and to struggle. As the labour movement has realised long ago we have to struggle together across borders for the good of everyone. 68% of the Greek workers who are employed make less than a 1000 euro a month. Of these many earn around 550 euro a month. Blockupy attempts to take the struggle from the south into the heart of Europe. We realise that the best help for southern Europe is our own liberation. We have to fight together against the austerity politics of the EU. The propaganda in Sweden (as well as in Germany) has been that we are helping the poor Greeks. That we’re paying for those who are broke. Nothing can be more wrong. The EU makes Greece, Italy, Spain, etc. indebt themselves further even as they are demanding cuts in all social programs. Racism and fascism cannot only be understood as a result of competition among workers. However, we are seeing a clear fascist mobilization throughout Europe.
