A meeting was held today, Monday, 26 June 2023, between the Minister of Labour and Social Insurance, Mr. George Koukoumas to discuss the Draft Law submitted on behalf of the AKEL Parliamentary Group on the issue of standing at work.
In statements after the meeting, the Minister said: "The better regulation of work, and particularly on issues relating to the safety and health of workers, is a priority of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance. In this context, tackling excessive, incessant and prolonged standing is very important, as also provided for in the relevant recommendation of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). The relevant proposal for a law of the Parliamentary Group of AKEL is moving in the right direction, and through the completion of the social dialogue in the Pancyprian Health and Safety Council, appropriate regulations will be promoted."
For his part, Mr Koukumas said: "At today's meeting we informed the Minister of Labour about the initiative to submit a package of two legislative proposals for amendments to labour laws. We have a consensus that there must be new, different legislation to protect workers from this phenomenon. Workers are not robots and if there are employers who don't understand this we should make them understand it."
