Workers in Greece occupy union offices |
by General Assembly of Insurgent Workers
Previously published: libcom.org |
29 Dec 2008

 The historic central offices of the General Confederation of Greek Workers in Athens was recently occupied by militant workers.
The action forms part of a strategy to counteract the designs of the union bureaucracy to distance its membership from the current revolt, and protest its management and mediation of workers' struggles in Greece. The occupants aim to create a space in which to facilitate a grassroots and self organised workers response to the crisis, and bring the wider working class into the events unfolding on the streets of Greece. Town halls in Athens and Thessaloniki have also been occupied in order to hold general assemblies.
The communique of the "General Assembly of Insurgent Workers" follows below: |

Workers occupied Frape Behr factory in Barcelona, solidarity actions needed |
|
by WSA |
30 Dec 2007
|
The Workers Solidarity Alliance (WSA) has recently received the following information from our Spanish friends. These friends work for the German auto-supplier Frape-Behr. Behr describes itself as "a specialist for automotive air conditioning and engine cooling systems."
The Frape-Behr workers are facing job cuts. Although they have engaged in negotiations with the company bosses and the Catalan State, these have led to a dead end, with promises made by the bosses and State and then broken.
The workers are currently engaged in a plant occupation and urgently request your solidarity.
Although the workers are calling for pickets in front of company owned plants and offices, they are also seeking letters of protest.
Please find links to company locations and addresses on the company website http://behr.de. |

Workers Solidarity Alliance Statement on RNC |
|
by W.S.A. |
08 Sep 2008
|
|
In the opening days of September 2008 people from all over the country came together in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul to protest the agenda of the Republican National Convention. And in response, police cracked down, hard. And even before the events had begun police responded to mere calls for protest through strong-arm tactics reminiscent of a police state, including infiltration and spying by state agents against protest organizations and preemptive raids with guns drawn against private protest centers. During the event police responded with the indiscriminate arrest of hundreds of protesters, and even journalists recording the event where arrested. Decked out in full military garb masses of police indiscriminately assaulted numerous protesters with batons, pepper spray and other weapons, that though listed under the term "less then lethal" nevertheless inflict great pain and suffering, and have been implicated in serious medical complications and even death. Fortunately no one was killed in the Twin Cities, but the use of tactics befitting a police state should be a cause of grave concern for all people of good conscience. |

WSA statement of solidarity with Wisconsin Workers |

WSA extends solidarity and our most sincere wishes for victory to the workers of Wisconsin in their current fight. And to all public sector workers now struggling against attacks on their pensions and their rights.
The rank-and-file workers have demonstrated the best aspects of the combative spirit of the working class, and may help ramp up the lagging spirit of solidarity in the American labor movement. |
