Specifically, the increases in salaries but also the doubling of our provision from 5 euros to 10 euros for each productive wage through the Edenred card will offer to each of our employees, after taxes, the approximate amount of € 2,500 per year.

This amount corresponds to an increase in income of about 20% on an annual basis taking into account that the average salary of DPort employees and partner companies is at the level of € 1,650 euros.

DPort, with the presentation of the new final proposal of the Collective Bargaining Agreement on Friday, had invited all employees and representatives of the Unions in the area to proceed to General Assemblies with the absolutely legal procedures.

“For the sake of absolute transparency in the process of the General Assemblies, we will expect relevant Minutes from your representatives, which will prove the mandate of the employees for the conclusion and signing of the terms of the New BCC. Thank you all for your dignified attitude and we assure you “Our goal was, is and will be to be by your side and your families, as we have done all these years,” he said.
