Hello comrades, miners of Stillwater Sibanye. I have learned of the lockout order against striking miners from AMCU and NUM and would like to express my solidarity with you.

Dear miners and relatives of Larco, you have our fullest solidarity in your struggle for every job and loss of affordable housing. I myself worked as an electrician underground in the German coal industry for 35 years. It is impressive how great the solidarity with you and your families is among the Greek population; we have had similar experiences in Germany and it shows that it is not true how politicians and companies want to make us believe that we are alone.
