The Minister of Labor also said that by the end of 2025 the road map will be presented for collective agreements
For DBA’s work -finding platform, the Jobmatch Labor Minister Niki Kerameos spoke in an interview, and also said that “by the end of the year we will have publicity the roadmap on how to go on to increase collective agreements.”
To reduce unemployment as well as the opportunities given by the Jobmatch platform, Mrs. Kerameos told ERT: “Our country had a very high unemployment. This unemployment has fallen a lot, has reached 9% […] We have a reverse problem. We have businesses that we are told we are looking to hire, but we do not find especially in the tourism and catering sectors. That is why we have put into operation this platform along with the public employment service, it is called Jobmatch. Download the platform for free From the application systems and what does this platform do? You get in and declare your preferences. I want to work on the tade From June to September, I want at least so much money and I’m interested in the cook’s position, you put filters.
At the same time jobs have uploaded and the employers and say: We offer these jobs with this money, with this service and so on. As I put on my filters as a candidate worker, automatically the System Matches me as we say, that is, makes the coupling between my own preferencestogether with the jobs offered by the employer And it gives me a list of businesses that meet these conditions. I see the list and when I see something I am interested in I can press a video call right away and interview on the spot. With this process, we have measured it, can in 2.5 minutes have a job.[…] I will tell you that we already had 22,000 candidates in Jobmatch from last year and more than 46,000 have been made in total[…]”
As the Minister pointed out: ‘This year it has many additions, ie the video call It didn’t exist last year this year. All this because they are done to help in the marriage between of the candidate who wants to find work with specific conditions and her business who is looking for staff. I would say this in combination with other initiatives, such as next Friday and Saturday 23rd and 24th of the month at the Peristeri Exhibition Center on Career Days.
We systematically do them and systematically throughout Greece, in more than 40 cities. There are businesses, about 200 businesseswhich offer thousands of jobs And there are citizens who are looking for work. “
For them Collective agreementsMrs. Kerameos reported “The reality is that our country has a lot of margin As for coverage from collective agreements. Two things are needed to do this. It takes a robust institutional framework, which will also give the right incentives for the conclusion of collective agreements, but also to sit on the same table representatives of workers and employers. What do we do?
We have begun a process, and today there is a meeting at the Ministry of Labor with all national social partners to discuss optimal practices across Europe, to put down the best practices in the European Union Member States, what practices and motivation do other countries use. To discuss all this together with the social partners in a single working group, to submit the social partners their proposals and by the end of the year we will have publicity the roadmap on how to go on the increase in collective agreements, by enhancing the framework for collective agreements.
Still the minister said they were processing labor bill which will mainly aim at simplifying and reduction of bureaucracy for all. Added that ‘When I say for everyone, I mean about employees and business. Why do you need 4 documents to upload for one recruitment and not be able to get into a document to facilitate everyone? We are not yet ready to discuss it publicly. We process all these issues in great detail. Next time, there will obviously be a thorough dialogue with social partners on all these issues. “
Asked if Companies will collect citizens’ debts to EFKA said that this is forbidden and explained “EFKA has more than 49 billion unpaid debts, the government is constantly seeking fiscal space to return to society. Here one has two roads. One is to say, as previous governments we have 49 billion, we do nothing about it. We leave it to someone next. There is another way, however, and the other way is to do everything you can in order to reinforce the insurance system. To get back to society.
And when I say come back, return to retirees, return to insureds, so what do we do? We are making an international competition in order to bring legal entities to private law that will come to support EFKA in debt collection. This will be collected exclusively by EFKA, I stress it, there can be no collection. It is expressly provided in the provision of law that collection can be made exclusively by EFKA[…]So what will they do? Will come to a personalized approach. Will come and see, talk to the insured[…]”
