"The workers of a distribution company, who have been on strike for three days, are demanding the absolutely obvious. The safeguarding of their labour rights, a decent wage, fair participation in the Social Security Fund and adequate medical coverage, including for the risks they run during the performance of their work," the Staff of Andreas Mavroyiannis said in a written statement.
It also points out that it condemns "the brutal exploitation of any worker, in any sector, in any enterprise. We call on the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to seriously deal with this group of workers, regardless of the fact that they are usually third-country nationals, to carry out the necessary controls, and to guarantee the labour rights and labour status of distributors on distribution and transport platforms."
"In the government of Andreas Mavroyiannis, there is no room for two- and three-tier workers. There is no room for "invisible" workers, nor for modern slaves, without rights. Exploitation at work and the working middle class cannot characterize a modern and prosperous Cyprus, nor can it be accepted."
