Bob Monks - United Road Transport Union general secretary 

The Greek people have had the courage, yet again, to stand up to the pro-austerity governments of Europe by voting No in Sunday’s referendum.

URTU [congratulates] Syriza and the people of Greece in their continued fight for a fair and just solution for all those who have suffered at the hands of the bankers and pro-austerity EU elite for too long.

Mark Serwotka - PCS general secretary 

As the former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said, Syriza has “reintroduced the concept of democracy to Europe” by trusting the Greek people with the decision on their future, instead of leaving it in the hands of bankers and politicians in Brussels.

Europe must respect this overwhelming and inspiring vote against deeper austerity and we send our solidarity to the Greek people.

Mick Cash - RMT general secretary 

The Greek people have seen their jobs, services and standards of living throttled by the troika and the neoliberal, pro-austerity ethos which is at the very core of the euro project. We share their anger and salute their courage.

The idea that the EU is in any way pro-worker and pro-public services is a myth which needs to be exposed and challenged by the entire trade union movement.
