In a letter from the guilds PACEY - PEO (Pancyprian Guild of Service Employees) and OIYK - SEK (Federation of Private Employees) sent today, Tuesday 22 March, to Swissport and notification to the Department of Labour Relations of the Ministry of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance, refers to the issue of violation of an article of the Collective Agreement on staff appointments.
It is added that "in a letter dated 11 March sent to the company regarding the violation of an article of the collective agreement on staff tenancies. The violation of the article continues despite the company's commitments that it will implement the collective agreement concerning the permanent placement of the affected staff", which amounts to 60-70 people at Larnaca and Paphos airports.
Unfortunately, the letter notes, on Monday 21 March "we found that the company proceeded with the permanent placement of part-time staff, which we consider a mockery, exploitation of employees and a violation of the collective agreement."

The unions note in their letter that they expect the company to "fully implement the article of the collective agreement and legislation by making permanent all staff who have completed nine months of full-time service and all benefits provided for in the collective agreement."
