Declaration of solidarity with the Greek miners

Happy comrades, I heard about your strike from our friend Jordanis and on behalf of the International Miners' Coordination I would like to express my solidarity from the bottom of my heart in the fight against Edorado Gold. My name is Andreas Tadysiak and I spent 40 years in the German coal mining industry, about 35 of them as an electrician underground. You have our full support.

I can understand your situation very well, because we had and have similar conflicts in Germany in the fight for jobs, health protection but also for the living conditions in the region. Also for your fight for trade union rights, health protection and against the government, which grants Edorado Gold far-reaching rights, without any consideration for the life and the hard working conditions and the health hazards of the miners and their families. The International Miners' Coordination's Program of Struggle states, "today, a few international corporations control the world's mining, processing and trade in raw materials. The corporations exploit the miners and nature" Against these international mining monopolies and their governments, we can only become a superior force if we, together with our families, cooperate internationally and coordinate our struggles. That is why we have joined together in the International Miners' Coordination. We have been promoting the common international struggle of the miners for several years. To this end, we are holding our 3rd International Miners Conference from Aug. 31, 2023 to Sept. 3, 2023. It will take place in Germany/Thuringia and we would be very happy about your participation. . We will report about your struggle on our homepage www.minersconference.org and call for solidarity with you and your unions. We would be glad about more reports and also photos so that we can publish them to inform the miners of the world about your struggle. If we can support you in your struggle, we will be happy to do so. We wish you much strength and success in your struggle and stand side by side with you!
