Athens Chamber of Commerce Employees: “Work galley and impunity”
In its announcement, the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry states that “work galleys and impunity are reflected in the 26 pages of the recently ratified jumbo labor regulations, which are an integral part of the miserable individual employment contracts that employ thousands of workers. specific business.
It is an internal regulation that confirms our dozens of complaints and at the same time reveals the time that the employer has taken in the crackdown on our labor rights by clicking on the dozens of anti-labor laws that have been passed in recent years by all governments, most recently Hatzidakis.
According to the specific working regulations the company can:
Pursuant to Article 14, paragraph 1b, to determine the job position, to move and to dismiss any employee from the department or the store or the establishment in which he works, to another department or store or in general a position of the same or relevant specialty in borders of the Greek Territory! That is, this month Athens, the other Thessaloniki.
Pursuant to Article 15, paragraph 1 to define the duration of daily and weekly work, the start and end times of the working day, the work breaks of its staff and the work system. Paragraph 3 of the same article states that working time is considered exclusively the one during which the employees provide a real service that has been assigned to them. That is, the working hours will become rubber according to how it suits the employer, it does not fit the break, the preparation (change of clothes, etc.).
Pursuant to article 18, par. 1, the time and the order of the partially granted license (summer and winter) are determined by the Company! And the employees’ leave is convenient for the employer and he makes sure to do this in detail in various parts of the text so that there are no misinterpretations.
Pursuant to Article 33, the company has the status of “Responsible for the Processing of Personal Data” and can file in any way it wants employees, consumers and suppliers.
Pursuant to Article 46, the company may, in addition to remarks and reprimands, impose a fine “on the offender – employee” deducting up to 1/4 of his monthly salary ”
Private Employees Association: JUMBO employees must take matters into their own hands
For its part, the Association of Private Employees, in an announcement, points out that “on the occasion of the new complaints coming from Jumbo employees about the unacceptable and abusive internal regulations that the Jumbo administration has unilaterally drawn up and imposed, without any with the employees or with a trade union that represents them, we point out to the employees the following.
First of all, such anti-labor conditions can be found in many similar companies operating in our country (eg PRAKTIKER, IKEA, etc.) and this abusive practice is a rule in business.
Secondly, no one can save the Jumbo employees from the constant arbitrariness and anti-labor policy of the employer, except the employees of the company themselves. If the workers do not mobilize, if the workers themselves do not take matters into their own hands by setting up a business union in the area, no one can help them in an effective and organized way.
Dozens of Jumbo employees are members of the Private Employees’ Association “I ENOSI” and most of the time we have intervened on behalf of our members in labor inspections and other authorities by complaining about the wrong texts in the company. to protect the anonymity of our complainants and members, cases are led to a point – not “annoying” for the employer. Even our mobilizations outside the stores, together with other industry organizations, do not find a response to the company’s staff due to the climate of terrorism and intimidation. In the inspections that we carry out with the Labor Inspectorate on the day of the inspections, everything is in full “order” and “compliance” with the labor legislation…
As the Association of Private Employees “THE UNION” we have decided – and we urge our members in this direction – to proceed with the establishment of the first business union in the area. and the members of the administration of the union under establishment are protected against dismissal by Law 1264/1982 ”

It should be noted that the reactions of the trade unions provoked a wave of reactions on social media, with the hashtag #cancel_Jumbo having become a trend on Twitter.
