Nationwide strike at April 6 and rallies across the country were decided by the Executive Committee of the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE). Specifically, at today’s meeting of the Executive Committee of GSEE, the accuracy, the minimum wage, but also the issue of collective agreements in our country, “which create a heavy climate for the world of paid work” were raised.
According to a relevant announcement, the Executive Committee of the Confederation, “assessing the situation, as it has been formed, during the pandemic and the unprecedented inflation spike, which is also due to the difficult and dangerous geopolitical situations, which pushed fuel prices soaring, decided on actions-campaigns, which will unfold in the near future and will culminate on April 6 with a nationwide strike and rallies across the country “.
“With the pandemic crisis to be in progress with what it has brought to society and the economy and with a war, the economic consequences of which we have not yet seen, workers now have to deal with the accuracy, which has degraded their standard of living. Despite the anxious search for workers and retirees for solutions, through financial support, something that is urgently required, the government has not given any substantial answer. No answer has also been given for the democratic restructuring of labor relations and Collective Labor Law. “Unfortunately, both are absent from the priorities of government policy,” the Confederation points out.
At the same time, in its announcement, it is noted that the GSEE The government must abide by its prime ministerial commitment, restoring – albeit a remnant (doubling economic growth each year) – the minimum wage to 751 euros and then handing over its designation to the EGSS (ie GSEE and employers’ organizations) “.
«We claim National General Collective Bargaining Agreement for the defenseless employees of the private sector, with absolute freedom to negotiate the financial terms and at the same time we call on our member Federations to immediately start negotiations and conclusion of sectoral and co-operative associations needs of their members. Our organizations must use as a key argument the fact that companies that do not want increases are the ones that first raised the prices of products and services, releasing the inflation spiral and are the ones that, during the memoranda, reversed the decrease. of unit labor costs in super-profits, without investment, which would also bring employment.
We demand to redefine the 6th P.Y.S. according to Spanish standards, with an unlimited duration of the Collective Agreements, the branches of the business contracts should prevail, be universally valid and extend by a simple decision of the Minister, adjust the time limits of the contracts, redefine the types of contracts and so-called “zero” contracts “emphasizes the GSEE.
He adds: “In recent years, in our country, crises have followed one another. The effects of each leave a heavy imprint on employees. These and many more could include one national agreement. What, however, beyond its content, would be a benefit for the country and its people, would be the consolidation of democracy, political ethics and substantive dialogue, the need for conciliation and the search for consensus. There is no room for endurance and tolerance. The unions will give their answer decisively, en masse and united. Enough is enough, it’s not going anymore! ” underlines the Confederation.
