For a single list of minimum demands of the workers and the poor
The employers are amassing huge fortunes at the expense of the exploitation of workers. Now they come for all our conquests. It’s time to go for them! The struggle to solve even the smallest of our demands is class against class. We must unify our claims under a single list of demands:
United National Collective Bargaining right now!
Wage increase according to the cost of the family basket, indexed according to inflation! Decent jobs for all: distribution of work hours among all available hands to work! Everybody to permanent payroll under collective agreement! Down with the income tax for workers! 82% mobile wage for retirees!
As in 2001:
Expropriation without compensation and under workers control of every factory that closes, or suspends or dismisses its workers!
Against the hellish price increases:
Down with the increases in the basic services! Nationalization without compensation and under workers control of all public service companies! Rent freezing! Free public transport tickets for all workers and students, paid for by a progressive tax on big fortunes!
To end with the looting of the nation and the financial speculation:
No to external debt payment! Out with the IMF! The banks must be expropriated without compensation! For a unique state bank under the control of its workers!
Against the employers’ blackmail to the workers with their bankruptcy filings:
Down with secret accounting! Let the accounting books be public! Let us impose the workers’ control of the entire branch of production! We will show the people how the transnationals and the bosses exploit the workers and plunder the country.
We must expropriate the expropriators of the people!
