Hellenic Train blames the drivers, the managers should have been suspended and not the workers.
The Panhellenic Union of Traction Personnel issued a statement regarding the incident of October 9 with the Proastiakos and denounces the management of Hellenic Train “for serious omissions and responsibilities” in the serious problems on the railway. He points out that once again Hellenic Train blames drivers, while those who should have been suspended are its managers and not the employees.
“The management of Hellenic Train as usual in the last period – and once again – put the blame on drivers, falsely stating that they were suspended, as falsely stating that they violated the subway entrance. Hellenic Train is well aware that the driver had an open entry sign on the metro line and stopped before entering it and while repeatedly calling the S.K.A. station master. Instead of worrying about the 2nd incident in the control area of ​​the S.K.A. in the last month, which was delayed by the actions of train drivers, it is trying to disorient public opinion from the existing problems of the railway network”, says PEPE in its announcement.
As he adds, “it does exactly the same when it issues and sells tickets, that the timetables of the routes do not correspond to reality, as a result of which angry passengers turn against the train staff for the daily delays. It was just as misleading when it advertised the ETR 470s as an investment and today, of the 5 available, 2 or 3 are operational, and on those when it rains, drivers have to carry an umbrella to protect themselves from water entering the cabs. The ones who should have been suspended are the managers of HT and not the employees.
As long as the management of HT insists on doing black and white, it infuriates the workers.
We inform the real commander of the company, Mr. Zeliaskopoulos, that none of us are afraid of the penalties he imposes, because we are talking about the real problems, or the prosecutions faced by those who follow the internal procedures for traffic safety, protecting the public interest.
PS As everyone has now found out, and after Mr. Terezakis’s admission of the incident we highlighted, when the Remote Control works and there are indications to the train drivers, the trains stop before the danger. In Larissa on the night of 2/28/23, they did not exist.”
