“We will not yield to their intimidation, no worker shall stand alone, not a step back from the right to strike and the defence of our rights” is the message sent by the COSCO workers on strike from the Piraeus port.
“The strike is extremely successful. Very few workers have gone to work, who will soon join us”, announced the members of the administrative board of ENEDEP (Container Handling Workers’ Trade Union at the Piers of Piraeus).
The orgy of intimidation and repression failed and the workers are trying to safeguard their strike.
A moving moment was when the workers who had just finished their shift joined the workers on strike under loud applause.
The strikers call on all COSCO workers of all shifts and all workers overall to go to the port and be on their side. Many workers from other sectors are already at the port expressing their solidarity.
At the same time, there is an increasing presence of police forces, extending at least one kilometre beyond the gate.
