Also in Sweden the right to strike have been under attack recently and we understand your struggle. International solidarity is a key part of the labour movement.

CUPW stood by the comrades of IMT in difficult time when they were abducted by state. That was a glorious example of internationalism. Your fight for your rights is also an example for all the workers in the word. We support all of your demands. Your win against ruling class will set an example for the workers in Canada and rest of the world. More power to you! Long live internationalism! Fight till victory!

Union Members in New York City
To all the Brothers and Sisters Of the CUPW,
I am a public sector worker in the USA, who works for the City of New York. I am a member of the union: Organization of Staff Analysts (OSA).
New York State and City workers face horrible penalties from the state if we choose to go out on strike or take any workplace action. We support your struggle 100%!
A victory of the CUPW will be felt in the US by all workers, but especially public sector workers. Earlier this year, teachers in West Virginia “broke the law” by going out on strike and they won!
I will be spreading the word in my union and among all NY public sector workers.
Also, the other union brothers below will be publicly voicing their support for your struggle!

UPS Workers in Milan
Dear postal workers,
We support your fight!
Everywhere in the world governments and bosses are dismantling our living and working conditions.
We have been fighting for years in Italy against these attacks and also to oppose the laws against the right to strike.
The only way to win is to fight the way you are doing.
Only the unity that we managed to conquer in these years has allowed us to reject these attacks, but it is not enough, we need an international fight, we need a movement that forces the unions to defend our interests as workers.
Keep fighting for your rights, we’re with you!
UPS workers -Milan- Italy
