Unions Sek and Peo on Thursday jointly called on the government to submit a proposal for the gradual restoration of the Cost of Living Allowance (CoLA).
Speaking on Cybcs Trito radio channel, Sek general secretary Andreas Matsas, pointed out that the demagogy on the part of employers, which tried, he said, to operate on the basis of revisionism, is being shot down.
They said they would discuss what was said on Wednesday at the meeting with the labour minister and the next steps will be decided on behalf of the unions.
For her part, the general-secretary of Peo, Sotiroula Charalambous, stated that if there was no new agreement with the government, the unions would react forcefully, collectively and in an orderly manner.
She stressed that the resolution of labour issues cannot wait for the upcoming elections.
Charalambous also noted that CoLA was part of collective agreements and does not only concern public sector workers.
