Australia: Hello miners of the coal mine Wongawilli in Wolongong

Congratulations for your successful fight!

We would have liked to have sent you a declaration of solidarity during the strike, but we learned about it too late. Only by the Internet, we learned about your fight. At the 2nd International Miners Conference 2017 in India we agreed with delegates from 4 continents that no buddy should stand alone in the fight anymore. In our struggle program, which was adopted at the 2nd International Miners' Conference, it says: ... that we miners, together with our families, must cooperate internationally and coordinate our struggles, if we want to become a superior force against the international mining monopolies and their governments.

At this founding conference we decided: "Today it is less and less possible to assert oneself isolated from each other and locally restricted against the international mining monopolies. What we need is the unity of workers worldwide!

In this sense, we wish for close cooperation with your trade unions and miners' organisations. Please contact us and send pictures and reports of your struggle for our homepage. The homepage of the miners worldwide.

Glück Auf (Miner's greeting in Germany)
Andreas Tadysiak
Chief Coordinator of the International Miners' Coordination
