They are not found in the hotel industry

The negotiation process to close the labor dispute in the hotel industry remains ineffective. After more than a week of intensive and long negotiations, under the auspices of the Minister of Labor, Zeta Aimilianidou, with the trade union movement SEK and PEO, and the Hotel Owners Associations PASYXE and STEK, it is obvious that there is no ground for bridging the dispute. remain extremely difficult.

The Minister of Labor is worried about her next manipulations, but it seems that at this stage, she considers that she should not declare a deadlock in the negotiations. A development that would pave the way for the unions to proceed with the implementation of their decision, for surprise measures in optional accommodation.

Information wants the Minister of Labor to be determined to continue the negotiation and her thoughts are as, in the coming days, bring to the same table the negotiating groups of hoteliers-guilds. In the hope that some encouraging result will emerge. As is well known, all this time the negotiation was carried out closely.

At this stage, the option of submitting a mediation proposal is not on the cabinet table, as the long distance separating the sides will obviously result in its rejection, by one or both.

According to our information, both sides have strong views regarding the amount of the percentage that the employee will be charged for the damages (breaking dishes). The charge amounts to 17,5% and is deducted from the unit benefited by an employee.

This issue seems to be related on both sides to the issue of wage increases. The only thing that hoteliers and guilds agree on is that the resolution of the dispute must be comprehensive, ie it must include the restoration of rights, legal regulation of certain conditions of employment and renewal of the contract.

Yesterday, the Minister of Labor had a new meeting with the hotel workers' unions, during which the parties seem to have given their final positions. The Minister of Labor was sparing in her statements, noting that "our effort is not to have problems in the industry in view of the summer season", while expressing the assessment that "if there is a solution, it will be achieved very soon".
