3rd October 2011: The International Working Class joins forces on the International Action Day

Militant mobilizations and activities are organized in dozens of countries all over the world on the framework of the International Action Day for the 3rd October 2011.

While the international economic crisis is deepening and the working class worldwide is being hit mercilessly by the anti-labor attack of the bourgeoisie governments and the capitalist mechanisms of the IMF, USA, EU; While the working class is suffering from wars orchestrated by the imperialist forces and NATO with the bloodshed of thousands of people…
The call of the World Federation of Trade Unions for international coordination of the class-oriented trade union movement with common slogans and national activities is reaching every country of the five continents.
