GSEE for s / n e-EFKA: It does not mean modernization without transparency, meritocracy, accountability and social control

GSEE on the occasion of the bill under voting of the Ministry of Labor & Social Affairs for the “modernization” of e-EFKA points out that the need for the modernization of EFKA is more than imperative. However, with the specific bill, not only do they remain, but the pathogenesis of EFKA increases, with the main problem being that of the outstanding pensions.

The bill, in the opinion of the Confederation, contains provisions that go beyond the limits of the Constitution, bypasses the service disciplinary councils and the legislated procurement procedures, while it also violates the civil service code. The public real estate management company of EFKA is established with a serious institutional social deficit since there is a lack of social control and accountability, with the single public procurement authority expressing serious objections.

The “customer relations” with the respective political leadership will be given, with the introduction of high-paid individuals in managerial positions, with the bypass of ASEP and with doubtful adequacy of qualifications, ignoring the long-time employees and the ready scientists of the National Public School.

GSEE wonders how legality, transparency and impartiality are ensured when highly paid individuals without merit-based criteria are hired.

As he points out, despite the declarations introduced in the public debate, this bill weakens the public character of social security and the welfare state, deliberately shifting responsibilities to the existing EFKA employees, when at the same time hundreds of thousands of candidates are running for office. their dossiers and final retirement decisions.

A typical example of the wrong administrative and government choices so far is the early dismissal of 683 young scientists who were working on processing pensions through a special program for the brain drain in the period 2019-2020, who processed about 1,000 pensions daily and about 25,000 in total month. The above period of time was not the only one that the Government can present as a period of progress. At the same time that in the year 2021 alone, about seven hundred experienced employees retired from the institution.

Concluding, GSEE points out that it says YES to the modernization of EFKA but NO to customer relations.
