OLME – the Greek federation of secondary education state school teachers – is participating in and supporting the “Europe Against Austerity” conference. Themis Kotsifakis, General Secretary of OLME, who will be speaking at the conference, sends a message of support:
“The Greek Government and the Troika (EU-IMF-ECB) have imposed severe austerity measures, slashing our salaries and pensions, destroying public goods (education-health-public transport etc), privatizing public companies and organisations, and selling off the wealth of the country to the banks and capital.
Greece is the point of departure as similar policies are being implemented or are under implementation across Europe – especially in the countries of the European South.
Employees in Greece and throughout Europe suffer an unprecedented attack by the neoliberal policies implemented by the EU and the governments across Europe.
Therefore, we believe that there should be a coordinated reaction of all workers, youth and social movements across Europe.
Together for another Europe without neoliberalism.
People first, not profit.”
