“The continuous upward trend of the forces of the DAS forces from 2010 until today is the result of the daily uninterrupted effort of the forces rallying in PAME to organize the struggle of the workers based on their contemporary needs in schools, hospitals, municipalities and regions, ministries, in every workplace. It is the result of the torturous effort for the revitalization of the labour–trade union movement, its emancipation from the aspirations of the state and the employers, the eradication of passive waiting and reliance on an alternation in government”, stressed the statement of PAME.
