Further strengthening of the class-oriented forces in the trade unions

Elections in the country’s largest regional trade union, the Athens Labour Centre (EKA), which includes hundreds of trade unions of the private sector in the Greek capital, were held on 11–12 February, following the works of its 32nd Congress.

The lists supported by the KKE (DAS), and in which trade unionists who support the action of the All Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) rally, emerged stronger in votes and percentages, getting 371 votes accounting for 31.39%, gaining 9 seats in the new executive board (from 345 votes and 28.7% in the 2020 Congress).

The strengthening of the list formed by trade unionists rallying in PAME was yet another militant response to the anti-popular policies implemented by the current right-wing government of New Democracy, taking the baton of anti-labour and anti-union measures from the previous “left-wing” government of SYRIZA.

This further strengthening of DAS provides a continuation to its upward course in the last few years, as its list has been supported by more and more workers in each Congress. It is telling that it is the only force recording an increase, since all other lists supported by the bourgeois parties (ND, SYRIZA, PASOK) are recording further losses.

Recall that in the EKA elections DAS got 27.99% in 2013, 26.92% in 2017, 28.7% in 2020  and now it has reached 31.39%.
