With the Cyprus night sky being illuminated by missiles striking barely 300km from where we live, and with the machinations of the government and the existence of the NATO bases on our island putting the country on the wrong side of history, there is no room for neutrality and quiet; the best time to act was a year ago, the second best time is now
Η τραγική πραγματικότητα των συνθηκών εργασίας που βιώνουμε ως εργατική τάξη στη Κύπρο, παρά τις όποιες διακηρύξεις και τις θεωρητικές βελτιώσεις, υπογραμμίζεται πιο ξεκάθαρα από το γεγονός πως το κάθε αφεντικό μπορεί να απολύσει χωρίς λόγο και προειδοποίηση κάθε εργαζόμενο του που δεν έκλεισε 26 εβδομάδες εργασίας.
We call on the major trade unions, and especially the Pancyprian Federation of Labour with their declared stance against the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli government, to rise to the occasion and not allow the ship to dock here.
Η θερινή ραστώνη αυτών που παρακολουθούν το εργασιακό τοπίο αντί να αγναντεύουν την θάλασσα, διαταράχθηκε το τελευταίο διάστημα, με μια σειρά από εξελίξεις.
The strike led to the beginning of negotiations for some form of collective agreement, negotiations that lasted for more than a year and a half, and resulted in the first sectoral collective agreement covering delivery workers in the EU. The agreement (signed on the 4rth of July 2024) will be put in force on the 1st of August, which is very good news.
We call upon our Fellow Workers across the globe to express their solidarity to the formerly detained protestors, and their abhorrence to the murderous tactics of the Cypriot Police!
Παρόλο που σαν συνδικάτο δεν είναι η θέση μας να ταχθούμε υπέρ ή κατά της όποιας αθλητικής ομαδοποίησης, και καλωσορίζουμε φίλαθλους και οπαδούς όλων των αθλητικών ομάδων ως μέλη μας, δεν μπορούμε παρά να χαρούμε με τη χαρά των μελών της Θ9 για την άνοδο στην Α’ Κατηγορία του Αθλητικού Λαϊκού Σωματείου Ομόνοια 29ης Μαΐου.
Just got word that you won’t be getting paid today?
You are not alone! Half (if not all) of Cyprus is in the same situation! They tell you it’s the fault of the Catholic Easter, or the banks that didn’t inform, or the stupidity of the accountants and other such nonsense…
International Women’s Day (known for decades as International Workingwoman’s Day) was established as a day of resistance and struggle first in the USA in 1909 (as National Women’s Day), by an initiative of women members of the Socialist Party of America. The following year, at the International Socialist Women’s Conference organized before the general assembly of the Second Socialist International in Denmark, on the initiative of communist Clara Chetkin and other female comrades, the annual “Women’s Day” was established. One year later, the first International Women’s Day was marked by demonstrations in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, attended by over a million people.
