The Board of Directors of the Pancyprian Equality Guild expresses its disappointment at the excessive delay in the submission of a government bill to Parliament for the enactment of the new pension benefits plan for public and wider public sector workers not covered by a pension plan.
According to a press release issued by the Guild, the text of the relevant agreement between the employers' side and trade unions was signed on 20/5/2021 and ten months have passed since then.
It is noted that the Board of the Guild and thousands of affected members of the Guild, Permanent Employees hired from 1/10/2011 onwards, Permanent Employees in the Public and Wider Public Sector (Public Service, Educational Service, Public Legal Entities, School Boards), Special Police Officers, are anxiously awaiting the settlement of this issue.
The press release refers to a prolonged delay on the part of those in charge, which has caused irritation among the vast majority of members of the Guild, who feel that they are being made fun of.
The complaints submitted by the Guild to the European Commission, the European Parliament's Petitions Committee (PETI), the Industrial Relations Department and the Commissioner for Administration and Human Rights, as well as dozens of cases filed by Guild officials and members at the Labour Disputes Tribunal, concern, among other things, the claiming of the occupational pension and pension benefits applicable to State employees recruited before October 2011, the press release concludes.
