"I would like to applaud the demonstration by Portuguese workers organised by their union confederation, the CGTP-IN, which was held on 5 July in Guimarães. I fully support their courageous and generous struggle against the new measures to facilitate unfair dismissals, deregulation and arbitrariness in fixing working conditions, the weakening of collective bargaining and the attack on the organisation of workers, particularly trade unions.
These unacceptable proposals form part of the unprecedented offensive against labour known as ‘flexicurity’, which has been enshrined in Community Green Papers or communications and national White Papers, the aim of which is to generalise job insecurity, exacerbate exploitation and reduce workers’ rights in order to increase the profits of the large economic and financial groups. Following on from the great general strike of 30 May, this ongoing, selfless struggle will lead thousands of public administration workers to demonstrate next Thursday and many thousands of other workers to take part in the demonstration planned for 18 October in Lisbon."@en1
