Congress:
congratulates Greek teachers, lecturers and other workers on their inspiring general strike of the first week of May and further strikes and protests against austerity measures since then
rejects the racist stereotypes in the international media who label Greek workers as lazy and corrupt
applauds Greek workers' united resistance to the bosses' attempts at savage austerity measures through the IMF and European Union which would slash jobs, pay and pensions
sends a message of solidarity and encouragement to the Greek lecturers union
asks NEC to arrange a visit and speaking tour by member(s) of the Greek lecturers union to UK colleges and university UCU branches in the understanding that the neo-liberal attack on workers' rights and conditions is international and Greek workers' spirit of resistance is an example to all those defending education and fighting pay and job cuts.
