Collaboration demands margins from employees

The administration of the Co-operation requests three months from the unions, in order to manage the demands of the employees for a single collective agreement for all employees, after the merger of the SPI, as well as a single salary, in view of the announcement of strike measures.

 According to a StockWatch article, in which the Secretary General of the Federation of Private Employees of the SEC, Elissaios Michael, spoke, any measures are not an end in themselves. He wondered, however, why SKT is requesting the suspension of a dialogue that has been pending since September 2016.

"If the employees decide to take measures, then we will give the employer a time limit of ten days, in which SKT will have the opportunity to enter into a dialogue to resolve the dispute," said Mr. Elissaiou.

 Meanwhile, this Wednesday, the secret ballot process is completed in order to open the doors for the strike mobilizations, with 2.000 members of SEK, PEO and PASYDY coming to the polls, while it is worth noting that SKT still employs 500 working members of ETYK.

In addition, what emerges from the words of the Director of Strategy and Reconstruction of the Cooperation Giannos Stavrinidis, the publication states, a solution will be found between the two sides, but appealed to the unions to wait another three months until the completion of the integration process. CSE.

 He also expressed the view that there should be a rationalization of all the benefits claimed by employees, noting that this is not the right time, as, as he explained, the Co-operation is facing two historical aspects for the bank: the implementation of the merger and its inclusion in the CSE, with a schedule until the end of September.

"By joining the CSE, we will be able to enter into a meaningful dialogue with the trade union movement," said Mr. Stavrinidis.
