In 24 -hour strike progress Today Thursday September 11th the drivers reacting, as they argue, to the recent redundancies of three drivers from Hellenic Train.

In its announcement the Panhellenic Union of Attraction Personnel (PEPE) He says:

“Our club is conducting a 24 -hour strike on Thursday, September 11, against recent layoffs at Hellenic Train, a member of the Ferrovie Dello Stato group.

The company fired three experienced drivers who belonged to socially sensitive groups (facing – after more than 42 years of work – health problems) without warning in August.

At a recent meeting of our Association, representatives of the Hellenic Train stated that the company in the context of its “reorganization” chooses to dismiss those who are close to retirement (to have less consequences they reported – while the exact opposite is the case) and those who have health problems!

At the same time as employees fired, Hellenic Train, a company subsidized by more than 50 million euros a year by the Greek State, in its beloved tactics, is forcing the drivers to overwork

For the day of the strike, our union has provided the Law provided by law security personnel to serve social needs. ”

Finally, he calls on the administration of the Hellenic Train to take back all the redundancies of workers and declares “our fight against them will be constant”.
