In the events saluting the glorious resistance of 15-16 June, our class brothers and sisters who wrote the history of the Turkish working class, and those who struggle for a classless, exploitation-free, war-free world, it was stated as follows “We know that only when the working class is organised can it put a stop to the attacks of capital, moreover, it can obtain new rights and gains. The Great Workers’ Resistance of 15-16 June 1970 is an action that shows how strong workers are when they are in unity and solidarity, trust each other, stand shoulder to shoulder in their workplaces, unions and organisations of struggle. Those who do not know their past cannot understand the present and cannot build solid bridges to the future. Workers who do not learn the history of their class and are not equipped with class consciousness cannot stand strong against the capitalist class. That is why we, the workers of today, must learn, learn lessons and embrace the glorious workers' resistance 54 years ago.”
