The trade unions SSEK, PEO, PASYDY, DEOK, PASYKI and PA.SY.NO. accuse the OKYPY of delays in meeting the timetable agreed for reaching a Collective Labour Agreement and warn that the attitude of the OKYPY is leading the workers in public hospitals towards taking strong measures.
The organisations met on Friday and assessed their efforts to negotiate a collective labour agreement for OKYPY staff, who have been hired on personal contracts.
As they state in a statement, at the last meeting held at the offices of OKYPY on 3 November 2022, "despite the unacceptable positions presented[/B] by the Agency, it was agreed to continue the dialogue and the management of OKYPY committed to convene a new meeting in November. Once again, OKYPY is not keeping its commitments and, it seems, will not keep its commitment to complete the negotiation of a collective agreement by the end of December 2022."
In addition, the unions say that OKYPY delayed the process agreed in July 2022 to negotiate the collective agreement, and, "despite the responsibility shown by the unions, continues to procrastinate."
"The stance taken so far by the OCYPY inevitably leads public hospital workers towards taking strong measures to assert their demands," the unions warn, noting that they expect a meeting to be held immediately, as well as other meetings in December to complete the process.
Finally, they once again call on OKYPY to adhere to the timetable it had recommended for the negotiation of a collective agreement, in order to avoid unpleasant developments.
