The unanimous decision taken at the Plenary meeting on September 19 for mobilization in October, if necessary, was activated by the administration of the Panhellenic Federation of Food and Tourism Workers, which announced a 24-hour strike for October 23.
According to POEET, “unfortunately, the government and hoteliers in good cooperation are trying to condemn us to work in an unregulated working environment since the employers refuse to sit at the dialogue table citing 4 reasons that have nothing to do with the negotiation between us, but with government options and among other things send a message to the government through their letter about their possible participation in the extension of the seasonal unemployment fund.
On the other hand, the government, through the Ministry of Labor, took back its commitment to a solution to the problem of regulating the problem with the unemployment benefit.”
The Federation requests the signing of a Collective Bargaining Agreement with increases and 5 days and 40 hours, “so that there will finally be human working relations!
We ask for a decent living in the “dead” months for seasonal workers through the unemployment fund, the government finally adopting the only realistic proposal made by our Federation in the many meetings since 2018 with the respective Ministers of Labor.
For our part, we have exhausted all scope for good faith dialogue and once again we believed in empty words!
You took this as a weakness. So now on October 23 you will get the message from the major tourist destinations and Athens”.
