ATUC statement on Victory in Europe Day 8th May 2021
Aberdeen Trades Union Council (ATUC) sends friendly greetings to all workers on Victory in
Europe Day.
ATUC remembers the heroism of all peoples across the world who helped defeat fascism in the
Second World War.
Women, men, children of all ages and races stood together united against the evil fascist
ideology.
ATUC wishes to pay particular attention to the contribution of the resistance movements in the
occupied countries, the military and civil contribution of the Soviet Union, and the labour
movement at home, in particular women workers who played their part in destroying fascism
and bringing peace to Europe.
We honour and remember them forever by campaigning in favour of peace, and against racism
and fascism in all of its forms.
Hope not hate.
