The Minister of Labour and Social Insurance, Mr.Yannis Panagiotou, held meetings today with the employers' and trade unions' organisations, where the decisions of the collective bodies of each side on the compromise proposal submitted by the Government on ATA were presented.
In his statements after the two separate meetings, Panagiotou said: "After today's meetings, we are even closer to the prospect of reaching an agreement."
A joint meeting of the social partners is planned for early next week, he said, while expressing optimism that by then "we will be able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement that will ensure industrial peace, normality and stability, and have an immediate positive impact for workers."
