Solidarity with the Public Employees in California Athens, Greece, August 5, 2008

The World Federation of Trade Unions strongly condemns the dismissal of 22,000 part-time public employees in California and the cuts in the wages of most of the state’s 200,000 employees. We extend a message of support and solidarity with the thousands of Californians employees in public sector who are affected by the hard antilabor policy of Californian governor and their rights are eliminated worsening their living conditions.

The WFTU demands from the Governor of California the full re-establishment of employment and wages and to give the workers their legitimate rights.

We express our solidarity with the working class and with the public employees of California in their struggles and we stand on their side for full satisfaction of their demands.
