“Repeal” of the 5-day is denounced by the food-tourism trade union.
In particular, in a statement, the Panhellenic Federation of Food and Tourism Workers (POEET) complains that “with a sudden move yesterday late afternoon, the Ministry of Labor circumvented the Sectoral Collective Labor Agreement of the Food Service, which a while ago it had declared as generally mandatory.
With this circular, the Ministry of Labor abolishes the 5-day (as was foreseen in the KSEE) opening the back door to abolish the terms of the Collective Agreements with individual agreements that are often extortionate.
This circular thus puts a gravestone in the hope of 400,000 workers in the food industry to have regulated pay and working conditions for the first time.
It gives the possibility, as the worker typically says, to state that he wishes to work on the 6th day for family reasons, and even more so, applying a schedule of 6 hours and 40 minutes that no one in practice will apply.
It is therefore noticeable that after the 8-hour working day, the 5-day working day is also abolished in practice, but mainly the free collective negotiations and the role of the social partners are abolished”.
