Declaration of support for our Greenlandic trade union friends 

The SUN member organizations stand by our trade union friends in Greenland, and have sent them this letter of support in the difficult times they are currently experiencing. 

To our Greenlandic comrades in SIK!

We live in dangerous and unpredictable times. At the moment, nobody knows this better than you, proud Greenlanders.
The US and its president Donald Trump are turning against Denmark and Greenland, one of its strongest NATO allies.
The consequences of such politics are not yet known. Possibly loss of sovereignty, but also the deterioration of workers’ rights following an influx of American companies establishing themselves on your island.

The trade union movement has a long and proud history of solidarity, as do the Nordic countries. We will respond to this difficult situation as we have always done: By standing strong and not giving in.

The people of Greenland have clearly stated that they do not wish to be part of the USA.
Your voice must be heard.
The future of Greenland must first and foremost be decided by the Greenlandic people, without threats and outside pressure.

The member organizations of SUN stand shoulder to shoulder with you in these very trying times, and you can always count on our support. Never give up, never give in!

For a free Greenland, with strong workers’ rights!
