Mr. Tsipras emphasized the research data of the European unions, according to which “in Greece, to pay the electricity bills alone, one needs two minimum wages or an average wage”
The president of SYRIZA PS, Alexis Tsipras, spoke of a generalized attack against workers by the policy implemented by the government of Mr. Mitsotakis, during the meeting he had with the GSEE board, in view of the announcements and proposals he will present at the International Exhibition of Thessaloniki.
“The pressure that the world of work is under is terrifying, therefore I decided that this meeting was and is imperative to exchange thoughts, to listen to your own proposals, and your concerns, given that at the TIF I do not want to simply testify some elaborations that have been made in the party offices, but to take into serious account the anxieties of the people of production and the world of work” characteristically noted the President of SYRIZA PS.
At the same time, he launched an attack against the government’s policy and noted that “we are in a period where the attack on the social majority and especially in the world of work is so generalized that any differences must be put aside in order to make an effort to see how we can stop this attack, as it takes on existential dimensions”.
Mr. Tsipras gave particular emphasis to the data of the research of the European unions, according to which “in Greece, to pay the electricity bills alone, one needs two minimum wages or an average wage. So the vast majority of wage earners at the moment are in a state of despair, because obviously it’s not just energy accuracy, energy inflation. It is the total accuracy in our life. Wages fixed. The increases given are much lower than the overall inflation we had this year.”
In addition to these, Mr. Tsipras also recalled the flexibility of work with the Hatzidakis law, complaining that it shrinks rights. For this reason, he revealed that in Thessaloniki he will also meet with workers at the Malamatina factory who are on strike precisely because the administration is implementing the Hatzidakis law and is leading workers to layoffs en masse.
For their part, the representatives of GSEE noted that what is coming next “is not difficult but tragic”. They complained that the voice of GSEE does not reach the world because as they said “we are blocked in essence, the workers’ problems are blocked by the overwhelming mass of channels”.
Finally, they pointed out that the quadripartite of GSEE’s claims are punctuality, minimum wage, collective agreements and work accidents.
