On Thursday 24/06/21 the last auction is scheduled, from a series that was set in September ‘20 and was postponed due to covid. But it is also the last auction that it’s done with physical presence, since the next ones will be on an electronic platform.
They did everything they could to stop a factory operating under workers' control in production and with the workers’ assembly in the administrative part. They did everything to stop this effort of the workers of the former BIO.ME., lest there be another example. They have not yet realized that the kick-off for such efforts is given by the capitalists together with their minions, the politicians, with the enslavement they try to pass on to the workers and to society in general.
For fourteen months, the cooperative of workers of BIO.ME. works without electricity, because they cut it off, and they have not yet realized that we are not taking a single step back – while if they did that in a capitalist enterprise, it would not last even a week. However, in companies that have bosses, they are offered "land and water" when they hire an employee, and the employee's insurance and part of his salary is paid by support programs. On the contrary, S.E.VIO.ME. has not received a penny from state or European funding taken by generous bosses and various crooks, who roam the ministries threatening ministers.
We, the employees in the cooperative, work and get paid for the effort we put in our work from the surplus and the investments that are made are based on the social capital and not on the PADFs (Partnership Agreement for the Development Framework) that are given to the bosses. We do not want any favors from any state or organization. On the contrary, we fight for our right to work and to live with our families with dignity and we will not let anyone ruin what we have built with so much effort over the years.
We invite all of you who have supported us for so many years, sometimes with your physical presence or with the purchase of the quality products we produce. We call workers' unions and groups, we call organizations and collectives, we call the housewives who tried our products and do not change them, we call the students to stand by us on 24/06 in the courts of Thessaloniki and to shout loudly that BIO.ME. is not for sale - no matter how much the oligarchy wants it, which is affected by such practices.
