« The accuracy is degrading workers’ incomes, without any concern on the government’s side. We are penultimate in purchasing power throughout the European Union, with a large part of citizens spending over 40% of its income on housing and heating.

We claim, inter alia: Determination of the minimum wage not by government decisions but by free collective bargaining.

We demand:

• Our collective agreements here and now.
• Energy policies to combat precision and housing crisis.

Massive participation in strike and rallies will be our answer. The more stronger. « 

ADEDY’s call

« The strike on February 28th is a historic moment for the popular movement. Millions of citizens, workers, have abandoned and demonstrated at hundreds of rallies across the country demanding justice, « ADEDY said in a statement, adding: » The big demonstrations, however, also concentrate on the reaction of workers and society. For the outrageous accuracy that is the result of cartels that are undisturbed in energy but also in a series of products and services by sucking, the workers’ meager income. «
